Primary 3n have been very busy this term learning all about the Vikings. We thoroughly enjoyed a visit from Lerwick Jarl Squad who let us try on some of their costumes!
As part of our topic we went on a trip to Old Scatness where we learnt about Viking homes from Chris the archaeologist. He took us inside a wheel house which had a small fire inside – it was very smoky! We also went to the beach – even though it was very windy and cold – to collect rocks which we could paint with Viking images. 
This term both Primary One classes have been learning about toys. We spent a week looking at teddy bears, writing about them, making teddy bears, designing jumpers for them, making teddy biscuits and we brought in our own teddy bears to show the class. We were all invited to a teddy bear’s picnic, where we played games, ate our biscuits and had fun!
Both Primary One classes have been learning about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. They have participated in a variety of activities, which we ended with a Chinese New Year party!
P2n have been very busy this term learning about Materials as well as Houses and Homes for their topic. We enjoyed our visit to the Museum where we learned a lot about materials that would have been used in the past. We loved making our own clay pots!
For our Houses and Homes topic, we have been learning about the different types of houses people live in. We decided to design our own detached houses, we even added furniture on the inside for each room.
In maths we have enjoyed our measure topic. We have had a lot of fun using straws, our hands, cubes and meter sticks to measure the length of different classroom objects.
P7N have been working on their gymnastics in the gym these last few weeks and have had lots of fun! This week, moved around the different pieces of equipment using a combination of rolling, balancing and jumping.
Another ‘Gold’ winning performance from the school choir.
All pupils performing this week have been excellent ambassadors for the school.
Thanks for all their hard work and the hard work of Maree Simpson, music teacher and all instrumental instructors.
