Loot for Lerwick Success

November 4, 2017 Mrs Wadley Leave a comment

Huge congratulations to the Pupil Council who have secured funding of £780 at the Lerwick Community Council’s Loot for Lerwick event this morning. They will use their funds to buy games and equipment for all the pupils to play with during wet playtimes. All the pupils who attended today did an excellent job of telling members of the pupils about their bid.

Big thanks to Mrs Johnston and Ms Henry for supporting the Pupil Council with their bid and for giving up their Saturday morning to attend the event.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR US! 🙂

It was great to see so many pupils, parents and grandparents at the Parent Council Halloween Party tonight. Superb constumes and great pumpkins. Special thanks to Mr and Mrs Bell for judging the competition. We know it was a hard decision.

We hope all the bairns enjoyed their dancing and games. They certainly looked like they were having fun! 🙂

Have a look at the well deserved winners below:

Hip Hop Workshop

October 25, 2017 Mrs Wadley Leave a comment

First day back after the October holidays and our P7 pupils were treated to a Hip Hop Workshop.

Organised by Shetlandarts Room 2 Manoeuvre’s are visiting Shetland with their ‘Without a Hitch’ hip hop dance theatre production. As part of this a 50 minute workshop was offered to our P7 pupils.

The pupils were guided through Hip Hop dance techniques, improvisation, partner work and choreography by Artistic Director Tony Mills. We couldn’t believe how well they all did after a short workshop.

The performance ‘Without a Hitch’ is showing at the Garrison Theatre on Thursday 26 October at 7.30pm for anyone wishing to see more.

Swimming Galas

This week pupils in P4-7 have shown great stamina, competitiveness, enjoyment and super team working skills during their participation at this year’s swimming galas.

We were fortunate to secure sponsorship once again from G4S and held two exciting mornings at the pool. This term each class has received a six week block of swimming lessons and what better way to show off their progress and talents than to take part in the galas?

The P6/7 gala was extremely close and was won by house team ‘Olaf’ who beat ‘Magnus’ by only three points.

The P4/5 gala was also won by ‘Olaf’.

Thanks to Mrs Wood for organising the event and to parents/carers and family members for coming along to support the children.

Jubilee Dance

It was wonderful to see so many pupils, parents and grandparents at the Jubilee Dance tonight. What a super night – great music by the Peter Wood Dance Band, a lovely supper – big thank you to Carol Jamieson, champion bannock maker and Dorothy Robertson for the soup.

The P7 pupils did a fantastic job pulling it all together and getting the school looking so good. We were impressed with all the dancing.

Thank you for supporting us and helping us raise money towards the P7 trips this year.

P3n Food and Health

This term P3n have been learning about Food and Health as their topic. As part of this, the class worked cooperatively in groups to design a poster or a leaflet to inform others about what they had learnt so far. They also put their ICT skills to good use by using clipart to add in pictures. We think they look great!

As part of our sea themed activities we went for a trip on the Bressay Ferry on Thursday. The usual ferry is away for a refit just now so we got to go on the Fivla.
