‘A Christmas Recipe’

1 Comment

Yesterday, primary 1 and 2 performed ‘A Christmas Recipe’ with fantastic support from primaries 3 and 4. We had our first practice in the morning and all the Early Years children and primaries 5/6/7 came to watch.  In the afternoon the mums, dads, uncles, aunties, grannies, grandads, brothers, sisters, cousins and friends came to watch our performance.  We put on our costumes and some of us got our face painted.

We felt excited, happy and a bit nervous but we felt we did a very good job and enjoyed performing it.  We worked very hard to learn all the songs for the nativity.

We would like to thank all the staff who helped make ready for the performance,  all the mums, dads and family members who came to watch it.  We hope you all enjoyed it!

A big “thank you” to our narrators from primary 5 who did a fantastic job!

 

MEGAN AND HARRY’S WEDDING DAY

1 Comment

After weeks of careful planning and preparation, the day of Megan and Harry’s wedding had finally come last Friday.  Everybody in Primaries 1 and 2 had a busy morning getting ready.

The guests, ushers and bridal party were ready to go.

Everybody began to arrive at the church.

Followed by the groom, his bestmen, pageboys and father of the bride.

Finally the bride, her bridesmaids and flowergirls arrived.

Reverend Dobby led a lovely wedding service.

  

Time to leave the church and enjoy the confetti!

We then went back to the school for our reception.

The day was complete with a disco/dance to GTL.

We had a fantastic day and were extremely grateful to Reverend Dobby, Ray and Betty Ferrie and Duncan for helping to make our day so special.

 

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”

Planting trees and opera

Planting trees

Last week on Wednesday we were planting trees on the old hockey pitch. We planted around 150 trees. It is part of going for our John Muir Award. We are trying to make our school grounds nicer. It was hard to dig in some areas but it was good fun. We had to to cut two shovel widths across and turn the patch over and then cut a cross  in the middle and put the tree in.

On Monday four people from Scottish opera came up to Shetland to do a performance called Fever! It was about a boy that got a fever. Schools from Nesting, Happyhansel, Whiteness and Skeld joined us. We were in three groups, the first group was the medics, the second group were the bad bacteria and there was the immune system good bactiria and the press. We really enjoyed taking part.

Drama Festival Rehearsals

On Thursday 5th of March primaries 3,4,5,6 and 7 went to the Garrison Theatre to have a dress rehearsal for Rumpelstiltskin the P3,4 play and our play The Stubborn Little Girl and the Spider’s Web. When we were backstage we were all a bit nervous. The stage was really big, there was a lot more space than we were used to. Backstage in the wings were a little bit cramped as we waited for our cues. Rob the technician was in charge and if we were noisy he said, “Quiet in the wings please!” Thomas was in charge of the lights and sounds and Izzy and Marsali were helping us get into position on the stage. In the dressing rooms it got very hot because the little bulbs on the wall got hot and heated the room up. We watched the primary 3 and 4 class doing their play Rumpelstiltskin and it was very good, they  thought our performance was very good too. Watching each other gave us tips for our shows next week.  The P3,4s will be the first play of the Drama Festival on Monday night and P5,6,7 will be on the final night on Thursday.  We all enjoyed our trip out and can’t wait to do our performance next week in the Shetland County Drama Festival.
