We have a planetarium in our classroom which we set up. It shows us how fast the planets go around the sun. Jupiter and Saturn are very slow, and Mercury goes very fast. It is a good way to understand and see how the solar system works! By Peter Nicolson

Primary Toy Sale

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.

Christmas Task Force!

November 27, 2015 User deactivated 2 Comments

Today we were doing our Task Force, based on the 12 days of Christmas. Task Force is activities we do in groups with mixed classes, from primary 1 to 7. We look after the school and make sure it is kept in good condition. But sometimes we do big group craft activities like at Christmas and Easter. Everybody enjoyed helping each other and making the crafts. It’s a great way to get everybody involved!
