Gordon McCracken Visit!

Leave a comment

Today we had Gordon McCracken along to visit with a few of his friends!

He did an assembly with us and taught us lots of interesting facts about Bumblebee’s (and made 2 bee’s out of balloons!) and also told the story of the blind man who Jesus helped to see.

After this, Gordon did a workshop with P6 & 7. They learned lots about ventriloquism and skills which make a good puppeteer!

Can you say the letters b, f, m, p, v or w without using your lips?

We’ve had a wonderful afternoon!

Visit to the New Hostel!

Leave a comment

After performing in the 2018 Shetland School’s Music Festival, we went to visit the New Halls of Residence – aka. The Hostel.

First we had our lunch, and then Nick – the manager of the Hostel – took us for a tour! We saw the rec rooms (where the residents chill out), study (where they do any homework), music rooms (which have soundproof walls) and we even got a sneak peek in the bedrooms!

“I was SO happy that there’s double rooms so I can share with Abbie when I go to the hostel!” – Ruby

“My favourite part of the hostel was the gym!” – Evie

“I liked the gym and loved the games room!” – Hunter

“I liked that the rooms all had en-suites!” – Amanda

“Going to the hostel was really fun!” – Heidi

Arches Challenge!

Leave a comment

On Monday 12th February, we were set a challenge!

We began by discussing arches; how they are built and how they stand up. We looked at bridges which are created using an arched shape and where the pressure points are on these.

Then Mrs Kavagnah & Miss Jamieson armed us with a packet of crackers and a jar of peanut butter… and using these, we had to create an arched bridge!

Some groups had more success than others…
