We are learning about 2D shapes in Primary 1
We used lollipop sticks to make 2D shapes. We made squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, pentagons and hexagons. We discovered that we couldn’t make circles because the lollipop sticks are straight and circles only have curved lines.

5 Shetland Schools – The Art World @ Bonhoga
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”

Primary 1 learn about halves and quarters
We made and decorated paper cakes.
We each decided whether we were going to cut our cake into half or quarter.
We know that each half or quarter needs to be exactly the same size.
We folded the paper to find the middle.
When we cut 1 whole into half, we end up with 2 bits.
When we cut 1 whole into quarters, we end up with 4 bits.

Scottish Opera Fever
On Wednesday the P5, P6 and P7s went down to the hall to practise their opera called Fever with Scottish Opera. Bairns from Nesting, Skeld, Happyhansel and Whiteness came too. There was a man called Roger that came up from Glasgow to help us with the opera. On the 6th of June his colleagues will come up and help us with the actual performance. Mums and dads can come too.

Space Seeds
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.
