Well done to our P4 and P5 pupils who recently shared their views, and the views of their peers, with SIC representatives at a Showcase Event at the Sandwick JH School. You represented your school fabulously! For more information about our morning, please have a look at the P4/5/6 Blog.

We were delighted to hear that Alec has made into into the National Finals of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists’ (RCSLT) VoiceBox competition! He is heading off to the Scottish Parliament on the 5th of June to tell his joke alongside the other regional winners. Good luck Alec!
Primary 4/5 have been involved in a two year project with the Children’s Parliament and the Alan Turing Institute. We have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to find out more about Children’s Rights and the UNCRC and also explore Artificial Intelligence.
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the pupils who have contributed to this project over the past two years. Special thanks go to our three ‘Investigators’ who have taken part in online calls with the other 3 schools involved throughout Scotland. They have passed the views, ideas and concerns of the rest of the class on to those running the project and have been brilliant ambassadors for our school, especially when they took part in the AI Summit at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh.
If you would like to see what the project involved, please watch the video which shows some of the work we’ve carried out this year.

Recently, our JRSOs visited the new entrants in our ELC Department. They were keen to read them the story, ‘Maggie and Ziggy Start School’, using our road safety books. It was a great visit with lots of questions being asked about keeping safe and what to expect when school begins! The JRSOs were glad to see their Buddies again too. Thank you to Scott for the super photos!
Well done to Innes, Scott and Jessica in our P6 classes who took on the Euro Quiz challenge for Dunrossness Primary School! Thank you for studying in your own time and representing our school so well on the day.

Pupils who were in P4/5/6 last year, took part in a competition run by The Archie Foundation. They were asked to illustrate a page for a book called, ‘Archie and Amanda’s Amazing Adventures,’ by author Alec Franks. The story is about a little girl in hospital and it is hoped it will be relatable to young patients at The Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital.
We were delighted to learn that Leah Sandiland’s (P6) picture has been selected for the book and is currently at the printers! There were hundreds of entries so huge congratulations to Leah!
All pupil entries will be displayed in Union Square, Aberdeen, over the weekend of 8th and 9th October, with Dunrossness entries being displayed on the 9th. The author will be doing live readings and copies of the book can be bought at the event. We hope to be sent a copy for us to see in school.
Well done to all the pupils who took part. Any one of you could have been a winner!

Our Dunrossness Euroquiz Team were excited to take part in the Shetland Heat today. We won’t hear any results until next week but we want to congratulate them for studying in their own time to prepare for the day and for the amazing support and encouragement they gave each other along the way. They scored extremely highly in the languages round which is fantastic! Whatever the result, we are proud of you all! Thanks also, to Lily who prepared but could not take part on the day and to Mrs Colvin who sat with them through the test.

The JRSOs found it very hard to judge the ambulances in our recent road safety competition because they were all very good. The winners all got a reflective sticker.
The winners this year are Leva P1, Elsie P2, Dylan P3, Kirsty P4, Jessica P5, Conor P6 and Roma P7.
We will display all of the Superheroes that were returned to the JRSOs very soon. Thank you all for entering our competition!

The school has some new recruits! Have you noticed them? Thanks to Elaine Skinley, John and our JRSOs for organising these little reminders for drivers who pass our school. We really hope it will encourage those in our community to take extra care when passing by.
