Yesterday we celebrated World Down’s Syndrome day, raising awareness.
The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
Thank you to everyone that donned bright, odd (and even Christmas) socks!
We’ve started our day sending Ms Henderson off in style! We are hoping to give her a happy and fun day to remember us by!
I recently sent out an email regarding this survey, if for any reason you have not received it please let me know.
Shetland Islands Council is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help Shetland Islands Council to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan future improvements to local services. Parents will receive a letter providing more detailed information about the Census, and the opportunity to let us know if they do not wish for their child to take part.

This week, at the request of the pupils in P2/3/4, we have ‘brain’.
Thank you Kayden for helping me this week!
Continuing with signs to support our topic work on the human body, this week, we are learning ‘legs.’ Thanks Lottie Mae!
Continuing on with our human body work, this week Jasmin is showing us how to sign lungs.
We are back! Apologies that sign of the week has disappeared for a while. We are going to look at parts of the body for the rest of the term, as lots of classes are learning about the human body in their topic work. This week we are looking at the Heart, thank you to Ruby for your help! (You may need to click the hyperlink below to see the video)
