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!

P7’s go to Voxter!

For the John Muir award P7 went to Voxter for two days, with our teacher Mr Balfour and Miss Spall. When we got to Voxter we met a man called Rob who led the outdoor activities. We got ready to go up to Eshaness. We got our old clothes on and old shoes or boots.

When we got to Eshaness we went to the ‘Land of Rock’. Rob lead the way and we had to follow him. We could go through small tunnels and go over big rocks. There was a steep passageway we had to climb up. We followed him until we came to a cliff that was a different colour  than the rest. He told us that it was a different colour because the sea had recently knocked it down. We had a break to have our packed lunches and then we carried on until we got to the end. We looked over the edge at the end of the cliffs. The view was really cool! It was a really good trip.

By Bobby Moffat

We were on top of a high cliff with a 200ft drop, and we learned a safe way to be able to look over the edge. We had to lie down on our stomachs and carefully put  our heads over so we could see it. It was amazing! Rob showed us an amazing geo. It had a waterfall and a bridge made of rock. It was a once in lifetime activity!

by Flora Quinnell

Being up on the cliffs made me feel very lucky to be a part of Shetland. It was truly breathtaking to see the wonderful views that Shetland has to offer. As we left the cliffs, Rob asked us to think about how the wild made us feel inside, and what we’d thought of the first day. Personally, I thought the trip was amazing, to me each step felt like a new challenge to enjoy and conquer. I would say it just makes me feel ready for anything. I had a wonderful time.

Back at Voxter we made our own tea, mince and tatties. We cooked the mince, peeled the tatties, chopped the onions and peeled the carrots. The meal was spectacularly scrumptious!

by Nicol Smith

While we were having tea we played ‘Chinese Whispers’. It was really funny! Overall I really enjoyed this trip.

by Matthew Marshall Lewis

After tea we played lots of games including a Scavenger hunt and a relay game. Me, Flora and Aimee won them all. Then we made hot chocolate and toast for supper.

On Tuesday we went canoeing but before that we had to face a much bigger challenge, putting on the wet suits! The wet suits were very tight and hot, then we went to Crogaholm near Muckle Roe and Rob showed us how to make a secure raft with 2 canoes.

by Scott McKearney

After the rowing some of us jumped into the water and everyone was soaking wet and water was all over the floor of the bus. I enjoyed the entire trip besides getting on the wet suits!

Film Premiere

In term three we practiced and performed a play for the drama festival. Izzy was our wonderful director. She was very proud of our performance, and so she decided to create a movie premiere for all the classes that participated in the Aith school. In the primary three and four class they preformed a play called Rumpelstiltskin, and in the primary five, six and seven class we preformed a play called The Stubborn Little Girl and the Spider’s Web. When Izzy came into our class and told us about the premiere we got very excited. We got interviewed by Izzy, Bailey, Barnum, and Amber came to interview us about the play.  The premiere was on the 28-05-15 and it was a big success. We all invited someone to come with us to the premiere and watch the films. Everybody was beautifully dressed, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. There was a celebrity visit and VIPs. We got our photos taken by the paparazzi. Over a hundred people came to our school. We had mocktails and a finger buffet for everyone. It was a lot of fun! by Flora Quinnell and Aimee Irvine P7

 

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.

Aimee Irvine P7

 

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.”

Scott McKearney P7

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!

Flora Quinnell P7

 

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

 

Bikeability

IMG_2056

The primary 6 pupils have started doing their ‘Bikeability’ level 2 course this week. We talked about how to look after our bikes and how to look for any problems, like how to fix squint handle bars and checking to make sure the seat is at the correct height and tightened. We are really looking forward to getting out and about on our bikes! Written by Cameron Ritchie

Christian Aid visit

Mary Mulligan came into talk about what Christian Aid does . First she talked about the different problems that Christian Aid was trying to help with. We watched two videos one was about a young girl who had to clean and cook in the house but the good thing was she got to go to school . The second video was about how a cow can make a difference . We had a meeting that was about a village in Africa . How the meeting went was all the boys got a sticker then we had a vote on various situations but only the boys had their say . We really enjoyed the visit and our class are trying to find ways to help and raise money for Christian Aid .                                                   By Iona, Elsie and HannahIMG_2048
