All pupils at Aith JHS loved chatting to Alex this morning. When he met Primary and Early Years pupils they asked him lots of interesting questions including how many pairs of shoes he has gone through on his journey so far (8!). There was gasps from the audience when they found out he hasn’t been home for Christmas whilst undertaking his marathon journey. So far he has been walking for 3 years and estimates he has another year to go – Good luck Alex! The lifeboat is very important to us, very best wishes on the rest of your journey.
3 times table fortune tellers!
Today P3 started learning their 3 times table. They worked in groups of 4, and followed instructions to make a 3 times table fortune teller! We managed to come up with lots of different ways to play with the fortune teller, and everyone did a fantastic job of explaining their rules. I was really impressed with everyone, especially for how well they worked together to follow the tricky instructions!
P1-3 Science Show
On Tuesday, P1-3 went to watch a science show at the Aith hall. This show was all about what food is good for you, and how it travels through the body. Everybody really enjoyed it and lots of people volunteered to help with the show!
First week back at school
This week at school we started our new topic on WW2. We started off telling Mr Balfour what we all ready know about the topic and some of us knew quite a bit about WW2.
On Thursday the primary 7 pupils from Happy Hansel and Sandness. They went down to the Aith leisure centre and did some team building exercises. We played a balloon game and we had some fun.
Today we made some spinners in maths that helped us figure out the probability of stuff.

Spring Task Force
Our end of term Task Force afternoon was a great success with all Primary pupils enjoying their Spring craft making. Mrs Scott works hard to make sure we have lovely things to make and working in our teams means we can all help each other.
Our display is bright and colourful and will give us something beautiful to come back
to after the Easter holidays.
‘Diana’ Tait
On the 21st of March Aith Junior High Schools upper primary did a play at the walls hall. It was called The Voyage Of The Diana. I played the part of Christopher Tait and at the show I met Christopher Tait’s granddaughter, Rhoda Tulloch. She said she could remember her grandfather even though he died when she was 4. She said when he came home from the being on the Diana he couldn’t sit down because he was just a sack of skin and bones because he couldn’t sit down he had to sit on some sheeps wool. I live near where Christopher Tait lived.

Chinese Calligraphy
On Wednesday Wen Ting came in and taught us Chinese calligraphy.
First, she handed out magic paper and brushes. She showed us how to hold the brush. You had to hold the brush with your hand around into a fist and then put your thumb on the other side. Once we had done that, she showed us how to write yi (one), er (two), san (three), si (four) and wû (five.)
We had a lot of fun doing it. The weird thing was that when you wrote something, and then left it for a while, it would fade away. Wen Ting said you had to be quick when you were writing calligraphy. When I wrote calligraphy, I found that when I wrote calligraphy fast, it was very messy.

Walls and district Brownie Jarl squad Visit Aith JHS
Don’t they just look fantastic in their Viking finery? 
Fantastic singing and a skilful demonstration of the cup-song too
Angela showed us the original Jarl shield from 1987. She was the Jarl the following year, perhaps Ruby might follow in her mum’s footsteps one day.
30 Years on and still going strong, Three Cheers for the Walls Up-Helly-Aa!
Jarl Squad
Today, the Walls Brownie jarl squad came in to visit us. They started by singing some songs. They did the cup song, where some people joined in by using their hands instead of cups. Then they went around and visited our classes. It was very nice to meet them. 🙂

P2/3 Viking Gods Presentations
Today P2/3 presented their powerpoints about a Viking God to the class. Primary 7 helped them to make these last week. Every group did a great job, and were able to answer questions and receive feedback when they were finished. It was very interesting to learn what everyone had managed to find out. Big well done to P2/3 and big thanks again to P7!
