Reindeer Dust

Leave a comment
P7S have been busy making reindeer dust so that Santa and his reindeers can find their way to your homes. 
 
The reindeer dust is £1 and primary pupils can purchase bags from their class teacher.  All ingredients are biodegradable.
 
P7S would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

P7S Climate Poetry Winners

Leave a comment

As part of their topic on Climate, P7S took part in a poerty competition run by the Church of Scotland.  Pupils were asked to write a poem to reflect their feelings about the climate emergency and the impact it is having on the world.  The quality of work produced was outstanding and it was obvious to see that pupils had a lot of knowledge about climate change and COP26 and had strong feelings about these events.

Three winners in the 9-12 age group were selected and they were all from P7S!  The winners were Willow, Josie & Findlay.  They were invited along to a Climate Service at the Church of Scotland in Lerwick where Willow read out the poems.

A huge well done to Willow, Findlay & Josie!

Watch the videos below to listen to the winning entries.  Thanks to the Church of Scotland and David and Kate Grieve for producing the videos.

 

Remembrance Day 2021

Leave a comment

Today primary seven visited the Shetland War Memorial for Remembrance Day. Whilst there pupils took part in acts of remembrance including a two minute silence, poetry reading and laying stones they had decorated with symbols of remembrance.
Pupils then had a chance to explore and record some the names on the war memorial. They were very interested and keen to find out if any of their ancestors names were included. We plan to look at the WW1 Roll of Honour next week, to find out more details about the servicemen.

 

P7 Water Safety

Leave a comment

This term, primary seven were treated to a demonstration of a sea rescue by the coastguard and police.  This involved a coastguard volunteer  being rescued from the sea at the Sletts.   Primary seven learnt lots about water safety and the role of the coastguard.  They found this extremely informative and were able to use their knowledge and understanding of this to create water safety posters.  Primary seven now all feel confident about the procedure for contacting the coastguard in an emergency.  Many thanks to the coastguard and the police for this very interesting experience.

STEM in P7

Leave a comment

P7 have been lucky enough to have Emma Chittick in for three sessions delivering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities.  During her visits the pupils had the opportunity to program Lego robots and create wind turbines and solar cells.  This related very well with our Climate Change topic and they all became very competitive  to see who could get the biggest output from their design!

 

P7 CWGC visitor

This afternoon P7 had a visit from Patricia Keppie who works for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission are responsible for maintaining the war graves and cemeteries in this country and abroad. The pupils were very interested in the topic and it built on previous learning from our WW2 topic.
