Pupils in P6n created their own French Christmas cards to send to a class at École Élémentaire Gambetta – a primary school near Bordeaux! We have received cards from their class, written in English, in response. The children in both classes did a great job!
We were so lucky to have Island Medic’s star and parent of a pupil in P7, Mrs Williamson, come in to visit P7n and P7s classes today.
Mrs Williamson gave us a really interesting insight into her role as an A&E nurse at the Gilbert Bain. Primary 7 had prepared questions to ask her both about her job and the TV programme which has been really popular. Following the visit, many pupils showed an interest into a career in the National Health Service.
Thank you for visiting us, Mrs Williamson!
In previous correspondence we issued the dates of our parent/teacher appointments. We have had to change these dates to the following week. Apologies if this causes anyone any difficulties. These will now be held on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 February. Appointments will be distributed at the beginning of February. In order to try and accommodate as many parents/carers as possible we will be offering appointments on Tuesday from 1530-1730 and on Wednesday from 1800- 2030.
If you are unable to attend on a particular afternoon/evening or have a preference for an afternoon or evening appointment please inform the school of this by Friday 26 January, prior to the timetable being drawn up.
Crèche facilities will be available.
There was a lovely atmosphere in the school yesterday with lots of parties taking place. Fun party games were played and there was lots of nice food to share.
Our Christmas Assembly was held at the Methodist Church this morning. Thanks to Rev Fox for making us feel so welcome and to everyone for the beautiful musical items, which were so lovely that we want to share them with family and friends.

The Bell’s Brae Choir members from P5-7 entertained family, friends and members of the community in a packed Boats Hall at the Shetland Museum and Archives on Saturday.
The young performers sang a number of Christmas songs – some old and some new. The choir members, who have been practicing hard in school and after school, sang beautifully.
The audience were also entertained with some fiddle music from Amber Thomson and Cameron Johnston who were both finalists in the Young Fiddler Competition early this year.
