Learner Led Event
We were delighted to be able to welcome parents/carers back into the school building! The learners loved sharing their school and learning with their family members.
P1 enjoy the wet weather thanks to sponsorship from Greig Seafood Shetland Ltd
We were so fortunate to receive some sponsorship from Greig Seafood Shetland to allow us to purchase waterproof suits for all our P1 pupils. This has allowed the children to get outside every day to have fun playing with their classmates and benefit from fresh air, exercise and outdoor learning.
Bell’s Brae Choir Performance
Last Tuesday, the Bell’s Brae P5-7 Christmas Choir went to the Over 60s Club at Islesburgh. They performed a selection of festive songs which they have been busy rehearsing at after-school choir. The audience really enjoyed their programme and complemented them on their singing. This year, the choir decided to collect money for the Shetland MRI Scanner, to which the Over 60s Club very kindly donated £113! Many thanks to the club for inviting our school choir to perform and for making such a kind donation.
The Christmas Choir will be performing at the Lerwick Baptist Church, Quoys, on Saturday 14th December at 2pm. Again, there will be a donations tub to gather money for the Shetland MRI Scanner.
Primary 1N Explore Melting and Freezing
Yesterday morning, Primary 1n made ice cubes for an experiment that afternoon.
In the afternoon, we spoke about the frosty weather we have had this past week. We discussed how we stay safe outside in icy conditions and the purpose of “grit”. We made predictions on what would happen if we put grit on an ice cube, and what would happen to an ice cube left alone in the classroom.
We went out for a walk near to the school and spotted some grit salt boxes. We gathered some grit for our experiment. We saw the gritter out, gritting the roads ahead of another cold night.
Back in school we carried out our experiment. The ice cubes covered in grit did in fact melt much quicker than the ice cubes left alone!
Harvest Assembly
On Friday 11th October we held our whole school Harvest assembly. We collected donations for the local Food Bank and David Grieve from the local branch accepted these. We thank you for your very kind donations.
Primary One Trip on the Bressay Ferry
On Tuesday 27th May both Primary One classes went for a trip to Bressay. We were lucky to get the chance to talk with Captain John Clark and his crew on the Leirna. We went up to the Bridge and saw how the boat is steered. Once safely ashore we walked up to the Maryfield House Hotel, where we enjoyed crisps and juice. There was even time for a play in the garden before we caught the ferry home! We had such a super morning.
The sign this week is ‘sun’.
It’s a Folk Festival signalong sign this week! ‘Music.’
Baldy Bane Theatre Company Performance
Primary six and seven enjoyed a performance called ‘The Journey’ by the Baldy Bane Theatre company this morning. The performance was ‘forum theatre’ which meant that the pupils were able to particiapte throughout the play and were invited to make certain decisions to determine the outcome of the scenes. The key messages of the play were all about road safety. The pupils shared a lot of great knowledge to ensure a safe outcome for all of the characters in the play.
