P2N have been exploring area. We used different objects from around the classroom to measure the area of our tables. We decided that objects which fit together and that are the same size are much better for measuring, as there are no gaps between shapes.
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.
