Primary 3/4/5 trip to Mareel and Scalloway castle
What a busy Monday Primary 3/4/5 have had. Despite chilly weather all pupils were dressed warmly and were raring to go on a very interesting school trip. Â First stop was Mareel where we enjoyed the experience of watching the film ‘A Christmas Carol’ in a cinema with our classmates. Â Afterwards we went into the projection room, here we found out how films get projected onto the big screen.

 With a key that big, it can surely only be for a castle door! 
 A little play outdoors before we head home again. Visit to Total Green Awards
On the 21st of January primary 6 were invited to Mareel to see the Total Green Awards. When we got there we were given stickers saying our school name and biscuits and juice. We watched some science tricks while we had those. One was an optical illusion. Val spun a magic wheel and we had to stare at it for 20 seconds then straight at a small rabbit. The rabbit instantly grew! When we spun the wheel the other way the rabbit got smaller. We saw a balloon trick too. In the auditorium we watched an animation made by Ollaberry who won last year. It was called ‘A Turtle’s Tale of a Plastic Bag’. It was about litter in the sea and it was very good! We can’t wait to take part in this competition. By Holly, Joann and Sophie.
