P7N were very lucky to have a visit from Emma Chittock from Skills Development Scotland. Emma came to teach us how to program Lego robots using i Pads. It was fascinating!

Interview with Guiser Jarl
Pupils in P7n and P7s had an opportunity today to interview this year’s Guiser Jarl for Lerwick Up Helly Aa, Stewart Jamieson, along with his son, Haydn. Pupils in these classes have been planning the interview since we came back after the Christmas holidays, thinking carefully about the difference between open and closed questions. Stewart took in the helmet, shield and axe he wore and carried when he was in the Junior Jarl Squad as a young boy. The pupils really enjoyed asking him questions and it gave them a real insight into what is involved in becoming Jarl as well as the build up to Up Helly Aa day at the end of January. We wished Stewart and Haydn all the best for the big day with three cheers at the end of the interview.
Hip Hop Workshop
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.
Instrumental Concert
Yesterday afternoon our pupils in P6 and P7, who receive instrumental instruction in school, entertained their parents/carers and family members to a superb afternoon of music. Thank you to all parents/carers for their kind donations which totalled £130.16!
The pupils are all extremely talented and their commitment and dedication to their instrumental instruction is obvious.
Big thanks to the instrumental instructors for the commitment and patience with all the pupils.
We hope you enjoy watching their performances.
Dogs against Drugs
P7 had a visit today from Michael Coutts from Dogs against Drugs. He talked to us about the training required for the dogs and we then got the chance to meet some of them! The dogs were very excited!
P6/7 pupils have great success in Primary Football and Netball Tournaments

Edinburgh trip – Monday 5th June
The pupils on the Edinburgh trip have had an action packed day at Blair Drummond safari park. We’ve seen a sea lion and birds of prey show, and lots of animals including elephants, giraffes and rhinos. Pupils got to have a go at pedal boating, the zip wire and we finished up with a boat trip to ‘Chimp Island’. Everyone has had a great day 😀
