5 Shetland Schools – The Art World @ Bonhoga

Leave a comment

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”

Bookmaker Visit by Robert P.4

After milk break a book writer came in to talk to P3/4/5.  She was called Christine De Luca and at the same time Iris Sandison was talking to P6/7.  Christine gave us all a book each to keep it was ‘Mystery at da Laird’s Haa’ by Bjorn Sandison.  It was fun and I enjoyed it.  She read us some bits from the book and we read bits too.   It had a lot of Shetland Dialect. Here is some I know – Muckle (big) and Peerie (small) and I know some others.  She said we should be proud of knowing Shetland Dialect because it is special.  I am looking forward to reading some more when I take my book home.
