A large number of our pupils completed the Lighthouse Trail activity sheet, designed by our art teacher Louise Birnie and supported by the Lerwick Port Authority.
Everyone who completed the activity sheets and returned it received a goodie bag, kindly donated by the Lerwick Port Authority. Two of our pupils are modelling the ‘toories’ they received.
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.
In partnership with Lerwick Port Authority we have been involved in the Light the North, Lighthouse trail.
This trail shines a light across the north-east, Orkney and Shetland with fifty lighthouse sculptures designed and created by some of the UK’s most talented artists.
At the end of the trail, each of the lighthouses will be auctioned off to raise funds for Clan Cancer Support, providing support to people affected by cancer across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.
The pupils in our current P7 class designed and created a lighthouse which can be seen on display in Mareel.
In order to raise awareness of this trail an activity sheet has been designed by our art teacher, Ms Birnie and the P7 pupils. Any pupil can collect a paper copy of the activity sheet from Ms Birnie or print off one from below. Completed sheets should be returned to the class teacher. Any pupil who hands in a completed sheet will receive a reward.

We have been extremely lucky to receive a donation of 20 trees from the Lerwick Port Authority. This donation from the Port Authority offsets their paper usage.
This morning Lerwick Port Authority were on hand to support our staff and pupils to plant these trees at the back of our school car park. Once these trees grow we are hoping that as well as enhancing the area it will reduce the amount of grass cutting required. All helping the environment.
Look at the feedback we received from Port Authority staff about our young people:
‘The pupils were excellent. They were friendly and enthusiastic, confident with people new to them and very keen to participate. Everyone got a chance to get involved with all parts of the planting process and they worked very well together. Their behaviour was a credit to themselves and the school.’
