Well Done Magnus!

Magnus brought in something very special to show his classmates. He had won the Shetland Swimming age championships Peterson Trophy.  The first time the trophy was presented was in 1979 – can you work out how many names are on the trophy now? (A new name is added each year) Well done to all Westside sharks for doing so well both in the competitions and the dedication you show every week in training.  Mrs Redfern is also very pleased how well everyone is progressing in their school swimming lessons too!

Indian spices with Mrs Moffat

2 Comments

On Thursday, Mrs Moffat came in and made Indian curry dip. First we made raita. The ingredients were cucumber, mint leaves and natural yogurt. It was very yummy. Next we made the curry dip. The ingredients are Philadelphia cheese, tomato sauce, mango chutney and  curry powder. It tasted kind of spicy but it was nice. Alicia’s favourite one was the curry dip, Ellie liked all of them and Megan’s favourite one was the curry dip. imageimageimageimage

News Reports – The Moon Landing

Leave a comment

This week primary 6 and 7 made news report videos about the landing on the moon in 1969. We chose groups and then decided who was doing each role – newsreader, camera operator and director. We had to research the information first, write a script and then record it. We found out that the moon landing was a huge event, with over 500 million people watching it on their televisions. We enjoyed this task because you had to cooperate and also learn about space history at the same time. Written by Sophie and Ewen

Primary Toy Sale

1 Comment

Primary 1 held their toy sale today to raise money to help pay for their trip to Up Helly Aa next Tuesday.  We received donations of lovely toys, books and games and at 2.00pm there was a mad rush of buying and selling.  Nearly everything was sold.

Primary 1 helped count the money and we were delighted to discover that we had raised about £115!  This will help pay for the bus and possibly a snack for everybody.

Thank you to everyone who donated toys and to everyone who bought from the sale.

Primary 2/3 have had a busy start to the term.

We have turned the house corner into an Indian restaurant and made a menu board to link in with our topic of India. We have been busy learning the colours in French. On Thursday we read our pen pal letters from Orkney school.
