Music Festival. The pupils performed their percussion piece ‘Island’ at the Music festival on Monday. They did a fantastic job and it was lovely to see the team spirit between the class.  Well done P6/7!

Holi. Our Big Question this week has been around the Hindu festival of Holi. We watched a short video about why people celebrate Holi and then we learned about ways it is celebrated in Scotland. The pupils then made very colourful posters about the festival.

Floating Wind Turbines. We’ve been doing more experiments this week in connection with the Climate Smarter project. We learned about floating wind turbines and then pupils worked in groups to create their own. There was a lot of trial and improvement until they could get the turbines to float upright, but great to see group problem solving and communication skills to work it out.

‘Embrace’. This week, along with P4-5, we watched the film ‘Embrace’ all about young people in Shetland living with different neurodiversities. There was a lot of great discussion about the film and our own experiences. We would definitely recommend a watch if you can.
