Visit from the Police

1 Comment

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from PC Cameron Jamieson who is the link officer with our school.  He came in to tell us about Stranger Danger, Road Safety and also a little bit about his job.

We were very interested and excited to see all the things he told us and showed us.  He had a big bag of things that help him do his job.  We found out about the importance of wearing reflective clothing at night when we are out walking and we also told him other ways to stay safe when walking at night too.

PC Jamieson showed us the baton and sprays that help to keep him safe when out on patrol.

Then he showed us the handcuffs.  PC Jamieson pretended to arrest Mrs Inkster to show how the handcuffs work, thankfully he let her go again!

Then we found out more about the radio and how it was important to help communicate with other police officers, not only here in Shetland, but in other places in Scotland too.

Writing is something we do all the time and PC Jamieson said it was important to keep writing and put as much information in as possible as it helped with being a police officer.  They have to write lots of details down in their books.

Then we got to have a closer look at things and ask PC Jamieson questions.  He showed us safety glasses, the first aid kit, he even let us try on his hat!  Some of us think that maybe this could be the job we want to do when we grow up.

Visit from the school nurse

Leave a comment

We had a visit from the school nurse.  She came to speak to us about staying healthy and looking after ourselves.

She measured us to see how we were doing too.  It was great to have a visitor in class!  Zoe even read us a story about bucket filling and making sure we are kind.  Then she had us doing some activities too.

Scholland Farm Soup

1 Comment

 

We made soup using the vegetables from Scholland Farm.  First we washed the vegetables ready for peeling.

Then we carefully peeled the carrots and parsnip. We peeled away from us to help keep our hands safe from harm and we did it carefully.

We added the onion to our pan. Mrs Inkster chopped that for us and it made her eyes water!

Then we chopped some carrots and parsnip.

Some of us watched while others prepared the vegetables.

Then we chopped and added some neep .

Next it was the broccoli and cauliflower.

Then we put the soup on to cook.  We decided to have vegetable soup and lentil soup using the vegetables too.

While it was cooking we were being good listeners and following instructions for our activity.

We had a break and tried some raw carrot and raw neep.  Some of us had never tasted raw neep before and it was delicious!

Once the soup was cooked we tried the lentil soup first.  We thought that was delicious.

Then we tried the vegetable soup. Some of us didn’t like it but some of us like it so much we had another bowl!

It’s been a busy morning in our class but we really enjoyed using the vegetables that we got from the farm and we all agree that it tastes great when we know and have seen where the produce comes from.

We have really enjoyed our reading sessions over the past few weeks.  The children have got much better at choosing suitable books and have tried really hard to persevere and sound out tricky words.  They enjoyed reading different types of books…but the Oxford Reading Tree stories were still a firm favourite!  The P1 pupils loved having the chance to spend time reading with their buddies.  They were very patient and supportive.  A huge thank you to our volunteers who came in each week to help us.  You were a great help and we appreciate it!  Happy holidays and….keep on reading!

Well done to the P2 pupils who have been working hard on their alphabetical order and have been using dictionaries to help them find letters and words.  They have been keen and motivated workers!
