STEM AWARD FOR P7
A huge congratulations to pupils from P7S who have been taking part in a STEM project and competed today at the Shetland Museum in a STEM celebration event.
Pupils had to present their Climate Smarter School models to judges and got to participate in STEM challenges from local businesses.
The pupils’ weeks of hard work paid off and they were crowned the Regional Winners! Well done P7S.
P1-7 go to Folk Festival Concert at St. Columbus
On Friday 2nd May pupils in Primary 1-7 walked to St Columbus Church and enjoyed a Folk Festival concert. We were all greeted by a piper as we walked into the church and then everyone enjoyed the excellent music from two visiting acts.
Thank you very much to the Folk Festival Committee for organising the concert in such a beautiful venue. It was a lovely morning which was very enjoyable for pupils and staff.
P4 Visit the Antarctic 🐟
Primary 4 were so excited to be welcomed on board the Antarctic Pelagic boat as part of our Shetland Maritime topic learning.
As the boat was only launched in 2023, it was a great experience being shown around the state of the art vessel!
Thank you again to skipper John William and his crew for the inviting us on board, and for delivering the brilliant tour.
P7 Titanic Homework
This term we have been absolutely overwhelmed and delighted with the effort that the P7 pupils have put into their Titanic homework.
Pupils have been busy at home making items such as cardboard models, restaurant menus, outfit and jewellery designs, online games and animations, documentaries, paintings and Minecraft models. Some have also made steak dinners and baked cakes. This year we have even had a crocheted Titanic!
This year’s display has had many lovely comments from staff and pupils. During lunchtime and break time it is hard to walk past the display without seeing someone who has stopped to look at it.
The variety and standard of their homework is a testament to their conscientious attitude and their wonderful skills and talents.
We would also like to thank parents and carers for their support with this homework. It has been very apparent that the pupils have enjoyed spending time with family members and friends to produce their pieces of work.
World Book Day in P1
P1 enjoyed a day of World Book Day activities. We dressed up as our favourite characters, shared stories, took part in the masked reader competition and had a class photo of our fun filled day.
Ghostbusting
We had lots of characters in school today including a ghost! It was a good job we had a ghostbuster too!
Primary 4 Magnetism Fun!
Primary 4 have been learning all about magnetism.
We have been on a magnet hunt in the school; created magnetism fact posters and have designed our own games which operate by magnetic force. We particularly enjoyed making our games, and testing out other groups’ boards too!
Family Fund
We want every family raising a disabled or seriously ill child who is eligible for one of our grants to know about the support we offer, and apply.
Can you help us by spreading the word to parents and carers around you or at your school?
Through our Scotland programme, parents and carers can apply for grant items to improve the day-to-day quality of life for a disabled child or young person aged 17 or younger.
A wide range of items are available, including clothing, furniture, kitchen appliances, family breaks, sensory toys, digital devices and much more.
With your support, we can make sure that as many families as possible benefit from this grant programme now, while funding is available.
Holocaust Memorial Day by Bell’s Brae Primary 6 pupils
Primary 6 pupils have been learning about the Holocaust. They focused on the story of Anne Frank. The pupils used what they had learned to write poems and newspaper articles about the Holocaust. They also learned a song, No Wars Will Stop Us Singing by Don Black and Debbie Wiseman, in music with Ms Simpson. The class had planned to go to the Holocaust Memorial service at the Town Hall on Friday but the weather meant this was cancelled. With the help of Mrs Teale (Student Primary Teacher) the pupils produced a stop motion with art work they had made. The theme of HMD2025 is For A Better Future.
