Dunrossness Primary School Up Helly Aa!

10th March 2023.  What a spectacular day that was enjoyed by everyone. The weather for perfect, snow with sunshine for our P7 Jarl Squad led by Jade  aka Lagertha-  the victorious shield maiden  to walk through the ranks to follow the fire engine down to the pitch to set light to the galley, built by John, which has sat for 3 years in the school hall, waiting for this moment.  It was great to be joined by many parents and members of the community  as well as the fire service and marshals.  Thank you all.  Guiser Jarl Jimmy aka Einar Hjaltendingur and his squad joined us in the school  hall in the afternoon for a rousing version of the Up Helly Aa song as well as the school’s own Jimmy the Jarl song.  A great time was had by all. Thanks again for all came along to support this wonderful day.
