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.

Alec’s A Finalist!
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!
JRSO Presentations
On Monday 26th June, our JRSOs visited the Town Hall, along with 33 other pupils from across Shetland, to share all of the brilliant work they have been doing in school to promote road safety awareness
Councillor Robbie McGregor presented them with certificates, recognising their efforts over the past academic year.
Well done to you all! What fantastic representatives of our school!
Euroquiz
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.
New Recruits!
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.

JRSO Stripes for 6 Success!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Stripes for 6 challenges. We have counted everybody who entered and there was a total of 30 students that did enter, to our knowledge. Ms Henderson is going to donate £75 to the Brake Road Safety Charity which is enough to pay for 10 nursery schools to receive Brake Charity resources. This will help teach life-saving road safety skills to children under the age of 5! Post written by Magnus,Hannah & Anders
No Need To Speed
This week is Road Safety Week (16th-22nd). The theme this year is “No Need to Speed.”
The JRSOs have made a PowerPoint with some challenges to promote Road Safety and this has been sent to all classes to view with their teachers. You can watch it here too and use the links listed below to complete some of the challenges.
Look out for sheets coming home later today! There will be an information sheet for parents and a challenge sheet for pupils.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing any photos of what you have been up to.

I’m looking forward to working together in a group and seeing the ideas we will come up with. Ava

Our team got straight to work counting out how many reflectors were needed for each Primary class. They will be quarantined until next week before being given out. We hope they help to keep you safe on the darker nights!
Look out for more JRSO posts in the future!
