P7S Climate Poetry Winners
As part of their topic on Climate, P7S took part in a poerty competition run by the Church of Scotland. Pupils were asked to write a poem to reflect their feelings about the climate emergency and the impact it is having on the world. The quality of work produced was outstanding and it was obvious to see that pupils had a lot of knowledge about climate change and COP26 and had strong feelings about these events.
Three winners in the 9-12 age group were selected and they were all from P7S! The winners were Willow, Josie & Findlay. They were invited along to a Climate Service at the Church of Scotland in Lerwick where Willow read out the poems.
A huge well done to Willow, Findlay & Josie!
Watch the videos below to listen to the winning entries. Thanks to the Church of Scotland and David and Kate Grieve for producing the videos.

Remembrance Day 2021
Today primary seven visited the Shetland War Memorial for Remembrance Day. Whilst there pupils took part in acts of remembrance including a two minute silence, poetry reading and laying stones they had decorated with symbols of remembrance.
Pupils then had a chance to explore and record some the names on the war memorial. They were very interested and keen to find out if any of their ancestors names were included. We plan to look at the WW1 Roll of Honour next week, to find out more details about the servicemen.
Sign of the week for 8/11/21 is ‘Our world’.

Sign of the week 25/10/21 is Halloween.
Finalist in the Education Award Category
Bell’s Brae Primary School is a finalist in the Education Award category in the Helping It Happen Awards 2021! Organised by Scottish Land & Estates, the awards are now in their fifth year.
The winners will be announced at a free virtual ceremony at 19:00 on Wednesday 27 October as part of their online celebrations, in lieu of a physical ceremony and dinner.
This award celebrations our partnership with the Lerwick Port Authority and Shetland Amenity Trust to plant around 70 trees and shrubs at Holmsgarth, assisting the port in rewilding an unused area of the port estate. This planting was very relevant to the primary 4 classes work on ‘Living Things’ and their current work on ‘Recycling and Climate Change’.
Anyone interested in viewing the ceremony can register interest here. A joining link in advance of the ceremony will be provided, when this is confirmed.
What a busy afternoon making smoothies in P5n!
