Sharing Stories

June 27, 2019 Mrs Cheyney Leave a comment

Primary 5s have created their own ‘alternative’ fairy tales. We spent some time exploring a variety of picture books which had alternative endings to the traditional stories we all know. The children then had to write their own version and turn it into a picture book which they then shared with P1n.

The boys and girls in P1 loved this and said that they recognised the stories but they were much more interesting and really liked the illustrations! P5 really enjoyed being able to share their work with some of our younger children and P1n were excellent listeners!

We were delighted to be able to have our P4-7 Sports Day yesterday.

It was great to see most of the pupils enjoying themselves and trying their hardest. Everyone’s contribution was important and supported their team – Thorfinn, Olaf or Magnus.

One the day Olaf were the winning team and captains Kali Thomson and Leo Murray Wiseman were proud of accept the shield on behalf of their team.

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.

P5s visit the Shetland Times

June 21, 2019 Mrs Cheyney Leave a comment

On Thursday, P5s went to visit the Shetland Times. We had a fantastic trip and really enjoyed being shown all the steps in publishing the local newspaper.

Not only did we watch how they loaded the machines full of newspaper ready for printing we also got to have a look at all the other machines they have in the building. We learned all about the other types of products that they can produce including our very own recipe book.

A big thank you to the staff at the Shetland Times for making time for our visit and also for providing all the children with a mock up front page of the paper to take home.

The recipe book is currently in production and should be ready before the summer holidays. There will be some extra copies available to buy from the school office at a cost of £6 each.

Leadership Matters is a week of events and activities, organised by NHS staff exploring what leadership is and means for all our communities in Shetland. As part of this week our learners were asked to present how they demonstrate leadership in their schools.

We are extremely proud of how well they have worked with others. You can view their impressive presentation skills in the attached clip.

Sign of the week is ‘boat.’

Sports Day

Weather permitting the P4-7 classes will have their Sports Day on Tuesday 25 June at 0930.

We were pleased that it cleared up yesterday afternoon for the P1-3 classes. The pupils worked hard to score points for their team and showed lots of enjoyment. Team Thorfinn gained the most points but they were all winners!
