Children in Need 2017
Both Primary 2 classes have been very busy decorating and selling cupcakes to raise money for Children in Need.
From selling the cakes and dressing up, we were successful in raising £101.36!
P2 Fire Station Visit
In connection with our topic ‘Keeping Safe, Happy and Healthy’, both Primary 2 classes visited the Lerwick Fire Station on Monday.
Both classes had a super time being shown around the station. A highlight was going in the fire engine and getting a shot of the hose!
Big thank you to Ryan Thomason for showing us around!
Great Scottish Book Quiz
Today Primary 7S were invited to take part in the Great Scottish Book Quiz at the Anderson High School. They were all very excited to get a sneaky peak inside the new building for the first time! The pupils really enjoyed the quiz which was led by Ms Odie and Athea, Ishaq and Ross were victorious 🙂
Children In Need
We have had a super day at Bell’s Brae raising money for Children In Need. Children came to school in their onesies or pyjamas and made a donation. Some classes iced cakes and sold them at the Tuck Shop. At assembly the p1-7 classes learned more about the charity and how the money raised is used. We raised £336.79! Thank you to all who helped to raise this fantastic amount.

RNLI Competition Winners
Members of the Lerwick Lifeboat crew and Stormy Stan, the RNLI mascot, joined both assemblies last week to announce the winners of the recent competition to design a pennant.
The lucky winners were Lily, Zack, Julia, Lois, Luke, Isabelle and Torquil who all received a RNLI polo shirt and a pennant featuring their design. Unfortunately Zack and Isabelle were absent on the day!
Torquil’s design will be given to visiting boats and groups by the RNLI Lerwick branch. One is already on its way to Norway!
Police Visits
Yesterday all the P4-7 classes had visits from Police Scotland. They came to reinforce class work about Road Safety and Internet Safety.
The visits were informative and interesting. We would like to say thank you to Police Scotland for their input.
