We really enjoyed our trip to the Shetland Times. We saw the newspaper being printed and learned about the steps involved in publishing text.

Primary 5 Dialect Writing
Both primary 5 class have had a visit from Ann-Marie Anderson, who is the author of the children’s book ‘Da Ooriks.’ She told us about how she started writing and the process involved in creating a book. We then did some work on Shetland Dialect writing.
Primary 5 Outdoor Maths
Primary 5 have enjoyed some outdoor learning with our maths lessons on shape and symmetry.
Primary 5 science experiment
This term, both Primary 5 classes have been learning all about the environment and recycling.
We were learning about the difference between bio-degradable and non bio-degradable materials. As part of this, we carried out an experiment to see if we could make a bio-degradable plastic, using natural materials. The pupils had to predict what they thought would happen and then write up a report about what happened. Everybody really enjoyed this hands on experience.
Some of P5n with the finished result.
