This year Primary 3 were asked to make the shields for Mr Spence’s Norwick Up Helly Aa galley. We had a great time creating our designs and then painting the shields. We even got a chance to use them today in our own school Up Helly Aa!
Primary 3 would like to say a big good luck to Mr Spence, and thank him for letting us play a part in his big day! 🙂
day! 🙂
This week P6/7 went to see the Gritter. It was a very fascinating experience. First when we saw the Gritter, one of the lady showed us the different types of gritt and salt that they put on the road, there was salt, grit, and also a mix between the two! Then we went to see the back of the Gritter. At the back of the Gritter there was a sensor that told the driver it was working. By Sadie, Shay and Shona
Today, primaries 1 and 6 went to see the exhibition at Bonhoga.  They saw all the work that they had done with Mrs Hunter and Amy Gear in Art. They also saw work done by children from other schools in Shetland.
We asked the primary 1 what their favourite things were. They said “busy bogies”, “the firework”, “outside in the long grass among the sculptures” and “finding pencils upstairs”

Every Friday for the next 5 weeks, Secondary 2 and Primary 2/3 will be working cooperatively to create information boards about dinosaurs for Michaleswood dinosaur trail.
This week in Primary 1, we are thinking about all kinds of bears. We have lots of teddy bears in our toy shop, busy dressing bears in all sorts of clothes, making polar and teddy bears in craft activities, polar bears in our icy water and lots of other bear related activities.
On Tuesday, we were really lucky to have a visit from Wendy Inkster who makes Burra Bears. She told us what she uses to make the bears, how she makes them and brought a lot of different Burra Bears to show us.
There was lots of discussion and questions and we loved Wendy’s visit to Primary 1.![IMG_0362[1]](https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/sh/public/AithPrimaryDepartment/uploads/sites/1235/2016/03/IMG_03621.jpg)
Despite the weather, Primary 1 had a fantastic trip to Lerwick to see Up Helly Aa today.
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
