Coronation Celebrations

Our pupils had a super afternoon celebrating the King’s Coronation.  Canteen staff made a fantastic royal picnic that they all enjoyed around the school grounds.

Later in the afternoon our P7 pupils showed great leadership and ran a very successful activities afternoon for all children from nursery-P7.  The planned engaging activities such as:

  • Pin the crown on the King (or Mrs Wadley)
  • A royal scavenger hunt
  • Design and make crowns
  • Obstacle course
  • Guess the number of sweets in the jar
  • Beat the King (Goalie)

It was lots of fun and a great way to spend an afternoon.

Hansel and Gretal

Pupils in P7 recently got the opportunity to attend an After School Drama Club run by Izzy Swanson. There were due to perform at the Drama Festival but due to snow closures this was cancelled.

They got the opportunity to perform to an audience last night in the Garrison Theatre.  They were absolute stars and received wonderful feedback from John Haswell, who said they were born for the stage!

Generous Donation from Co-op

We are very grateful to the Co-op in Lerwick  for their kind donation of £1000 and food for the breakfast club.

Some of our pupils met with staff from the Co-op to receive this generous donation.

Our free  breakfast club is enjoyed daily by a large number of pupils and provides a great start to the day for many.

 

Goodbye Primary 7 and Good Luck

Today we said goodbye to an amazing group or young people.

Class of 2022

Starting school in 2015, young and sweet and keen,
Moving on in ’22, Platinum Jubilee of the Queen.

What a long journey we’ve had together!

Learning, laughing and growing,
But now it’s all change, a new challenge,
It’s off to high school you’re going!

The past few years with the pandemic have sometimes been quite tough,
With staying at home, missing friends and all the online stuff.

Despite it all, you’ve been more resilient than we had ever hoped,
You’ve shown that, “You’ve got this!” so we know how well you’ll cope.

August will bring changes: new faces, new classrooms, a new start,
But have confidence in all you’ve achieved so far – take heart!

Hold on to all the memories; trips and fun lessons we’ve shared,
Remember your friends, your teachers and all school staff who’ve cared.

Recall times table facts, sentence types, what you’ve learned in school,
Keep in mind your listening skills, always a handy tool!

But mostly remember how much you are valued – you’re superstars through and through!

We’ll never forget the fabulous Class of 2022!
