On Friday, Kenzie brought in his caddy lamb for his show and tell. After Kenzie told us all about his lamb, everyone in P2/3 had a chance to play with it in the courtyard. We all thought it was very cute and everyone had a great time playing in the sun!
For the last 6 weeks Mr Rose has been visiting P2/3 and teaching them all about materials, which is our science topic this term. He was able to show them lots of different types of materials, and we even got to do some experiments to test for different properties! We had some great discussions about where different materials come from, and the importance of being able to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
Anyone feeling a little unwell will be in good hands in Primary 1 and 2.
Our hospital has some very good doctors and nurses to help make you feel better. 
 
Some busy evenings this week by parent volunteers plus some concreting by S4 pupils
On Tuesday people from the Shetland museum and archives came in to ask what we would like in a display that we are going to make about the whaling ship Diana of Hull.
You might remember in March we did a play on the Diana? Well on a school trip to Lerwick to rehearse the play, we went to the museum and archives to see all the artefacts/archives that they had in store on the Diana.
A few months later the museum and archives asked if we wanted to make a display for the museum so Primaries 4/5/6/7 Â put their heads together to decide what we would find interesting in the display. Â Written by Shay Polson
*exhibition to be displayed during the summer of 2017 in the Shetland Museum to mark the 150th anniversary of the voyage
This week P2/3 have been learning about halves and quarters. Yesterday we used Lego to build things that were half one colour, and half another. Some even managed do use 4 different colours and were able to explain how each colour was a quarter of the model. We had some pretty impressive creations!
25 pupils from P6 & 7 had a great day in Brae at the annual Hockey Festival yesterday. Â Active Schools organise a superb event where pupils can develop their hockey skills and also get a chance to mix with pupils from many other settings.
Sunshine, laughter, determination, resilience, sportsmanship – well done to all involved, and thanks to Mrs Spence and Miss Murray for accompanying us.
Thanks to all involved on the day of action and subsequent evening session excavating post holes for the polycrub.
On Tuesday the 16th we renovated the playground all of the primary and nurseries helped plus the s4s. We cut some mussel floats in half so we could play in them. Some  had a bit on top to shade your head but some did not. We also made a hut and some benches p7 had to shovel old grass into wheelbarrows it smelled horrible. Then we had to help the nurseries and p1s. At the end of the day we made a bug hotel and a swing out of a old bough. We had five layers for the bug hotel one was twigs one was bits of broken pots the next one was straw and then some bark and last but not least sheep wool
“You can actually make anything out of anything as long as you try hard and are positive” Liam P4.
I think he perfectly sums up our busy day. Massive thanks to the RSPB, our hardworking volunteers, Early Years, Primary and Secondary pupils who all worked together to improve the outdoor environment around the school – what a difference a day makes!
