Primary 2/3 are learning how to say the animal names in French.
“We have been learning how to say the names of lots and lots of animals in French. In French the word for pig is le cochon”. By Josh
“We have been listening to different animal sounds and learning their names in French. In French the word for dog is le chien” by Isla
“We have been watching different clips about animals and as a class we made a little French animal booklet. In French the word for tiger is le tigre” by Liam
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. By Holly and Emma
Last week primary 6/7 got space seeds. Some of the class were away on a school trip to Edinburgh. So the secondary 3 pupils planted the seeds for us. Every week a small group of people go to the green house to water the seeds and turn them every second day. We are keeping a record of how many seeds have germinated, we have colours  for the seeds, some blue and some red. 83 seeds from the red side have germinated, and 62 from the blue side. We don’t know which seeds have been in space. We all wrote our hypothesis on which have gone up to space and which have not.   by Asia, Holly, Shay and Scott  
We have really enjoyed playing in our café and making delicious food for customers to eat.

On Friday James had a very special Show and Tell. He wanted to show everybody his new little sister, Bonnie. She was only 13 days old.

On Tuesday the Early Years pupils came through to Primary 1 classroom for their first transition visit. We had fun playing with all the activities and sharing a story together.

Primary 2/3 topic is the Olympics. We have turned the house corner into a mini gym.
“We can pretend we are training for the Olympics because we have dumbbells, mats and a step” By Emily
“Primary 2/3 have their own exercise booklets. Every week when we go in the mini gym we write down what exercise we have been doing” By Gene
“We made our own membership cards for the mini gym. We wrote our names on the cards and a membership number and our date of birth. Mrs Mouat laminated them” By Ailidh
“We enjoy going in the mini gym because it is lots of fun” by Emily, Gene and Ailidh.
Following ‘the mile’ challenge in the beautiful spring sunshine, pupils from Early Years to Secondary 4 and staff returned to school to where the enterprising Primary 3,4,5 classes had organised The Big Breakfast. Â Keen to raise funds to develop their butterfly garden as well as help those in need through Sport Relief pupils did a tremendous job resourcing, advertising, preparing and serving at the event. Â They wrote to both the Co-op and Tesco who both kindly donated vouchers towards food supply and Shetland Farm Dairies generously donated all the milk for the event.
The menu was (mostly) healthy options which included toast and toppings, pancakes, fruit,cereal, porridge, eggs, yoghurts and a selection of breakfast drinks.
The event was a great success with everyone thoroughly enjoying the delicious food and the opportunity for whole school to mix socially together. A big thank you to all relatives who came along to help out and also to the extremely helpful canteen staff who really did go that extra mile.
Money raised was added together with that from other events held during the day – the Mile challenge, BHF Dodgeball tournament and healthy tuckshop to reach a massive total of £411.11 – Well Done all!
(British Heart Foundation £60, School Butterfly Garden £50 and £301.11 for Sport Relief so far)
