Drumming Assembly

What a busy day we’ve had in  P1/2!  It started off with a drumming assembly with Joy Duncan.  P1/2 were on first and what a brilliant opening act!  Well done everyone for your enthusiasm and focus to play the correct rhythm.

 

 

 

 

We’re ready for you SMUHA!

P1/2 have been busy making helmets and torches ready for the South Mainland Up-Helly-Aa celebrations.  They have also worked on various cutting and painting projects to help decorate the dining hall and corridors.  We took a class photo beside the school galley, “Fivla” today.  I think they look the part!  Looking forward to our school procession and galley burning tomorrow and a visit from the jarl squad in the afternoon.

 

Remembrance Day 11.11.16

This week, P1 have been preparing for Remembrance Day by painting poppy pictures, talking about how and why it is commemorated and taking part in a one minute silence.

Here is the video clip we watched together.  In quite simple terms, it explains what Remembrance Day is and how it came about.  It also tells the story of how the poppy became a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day.  We thought you might like to share watching it with your child.
