Today Emma, Holly and Ewen went to check on the space seeds. We counted how many are alive and how many are dead. Then we changed the numbers into a percentage and wrote it up on the chart.We noticed that the red seeds are growing better that the blue seeds. So possibly the blue seeds are the space seeds.

Back to School!
This week we came back to school after our holidays. We were feeling energised and happy! Some of us have been to the mainland, and some of us have been abroad. We are looking forward to going on school trips again and learning about our Shetland project!

Horrible Histories with Martin Brown
When I heard that Martin Brown was coming in to see us I was very excited! I really enjoy reading the Horrible History books and I think that the illustrations really compliment the book. I like the style of his drawings, they really inspire me. I love to draw cartoons and I really enjoyed it when he showed us some of his drawing techniques. He was really good at getting your attention when he was explaining something. I really, really liked listening to what he was saying and I would love to meet him again.

Martin Brown was funny and he is a talented cartoon artist. He told us how to draw a horse, he said, “If you don’t keep drawing a lot then your horse will look like a sausage.”

I really enjoyed the event. I loved listening to all the horrible facts and doing the fun activities. Martin Brown made the event really fun and enjoyable to listen to. I learned lots from the lesson like how Mary Queen of Scots gave the axeman a gift before her execution. I also learned a lot about drawing such as how to draw a cartoon horse. Thank you very much for coming Martin!

I really enjoyed Martin Brown coming to the school, he was very funny and he is a very good drawer. He showed us that even if you don’t draw realistically it doesn’t mean you’re not a good drawer. Callum McLean P7
I thought Martin was funny, cool and just plain AWESOME! He is oh so good at drawing and he is not boring and I love the Horrible Histories. My favourite one is Edinburgh so keep up the good work Martin! Shay Polson P5
Commonwealth Games Legacy
As part of the Commonwealth Games Legacy programme our school was paired with Brunei Darussalam and Jersey. Our pupils Peter, Holly, Yelena and Ishbel designed Fair Isle ganseys for four Shetland ponies, which we sent out to our partner countries. The boxes sent contained photos of our favourite sports, places, information about our school and also local events such as Up Helly Aa. Our cuddly mascots have now returned from their travels and brought with them a huge box of marvellous items from these countries. Have a look!
