Primary 6 designed and wrote Christmas cards to exchange with a school in La Ferté-Loupière in France!
Learners here have been practising their French skills while their peers across the Channel have been writing in English. We were all really excited to receive their cards before the holidays!
Pupils from both Primary 6 classes formed a team to compete in the annual “Euroquiz” competition, run by the Scottish European Educational Trust. They competed against teams from 11 other Shetland schools, answering questions about the geography, history, languages and culture of Europe. They did a fantastic job of representing Bell’s Brae!
During December, several classes at Bell’s Brae were asked to consider making a donation to Shetland Foodbank as part of a ‘Reverse Advent Calendar’. In the last week of term, both Primary 6 classes carried the items to the Foodbank to help support their work during a very busy time of year.

In the run-up to the holidays, Primary 6 pupils prepared cards to exchange with partner classes on the other side of the English Channel! They did a brilliant job in writing and designing their cards, and learned some new French vocabulary.
Très bien!
During Term 1, Primary 6 have been undertaking weekly “Young Leaders” training sessions with Active Schools Co-ordinator, Sanna Aitken. The children have been learning lots of new games and how to teach these safely, as after the October holidays they will be given the opportunity to be playground “buddies” for Primary 1-4. P6s have really risen to the challenge, and led a P.E. lesson in the gym with Primary 2 before receiving their “Young Leaders” certificates last week. They have set a great example as they settle in to life on the top floor at Bell’s Brae!
Both Primary 6 classes presented some of their poetry work at assembly on Friday, then as a ‘brain break’ led the whole of P4-7 in a Just Dance routine! There were some very impressive moves…
Primary 6 pupils from Bell’s Brae recently took part in the Shetland heat of the annual, national “Euroquiz” competition, run by the Scottish European Educational Trust. Teams from P6n and P6s did really well in the quiz, particularly with their knowledge of the geography and languages of Europe. Well done to all who took part!
P6 have been delighted to welcome Field Studies Advisor Mr Rose to Bell’s Brae this term as part of our “Light & Sound” science topic. He has shown P6s several experiments and we have learned lots of interesting facts. Thank you, Mr Rose!
This term Primary 6 have been learning all about Victorians, and we recently held our annual “Victorian Day”, where children are given the experience of what life was like for pupils during Queen Victoria’s reign. The pupils and staff were dressed appropriately and everyone contributed to a memorable day! We would like to express our huge thanks to Miss Swanson, who provided costumes for the day and visited both classes for a lesson in the afternoon.
