Last Thursday p2/3/4 had their class treat.  Lots of children chose to play games on the laptops while others preferred to play in the forest outside the classroom.

We enjoyed a session of outdoor learning led by Kate Hookman.  We built dens in the forest area and did a scavenger hunt,

P2/3/4 enjoyed a super visit to the Croft House museum on Wed 31st May.  We were given a detailed and informative tour inside  learning lots about life in Shetland in the past.  Even the dull damp morning didn’t spoil their enjoyment as they loved doing the scavenger hunt outside and then playing hide and seek catchie in the croft house grounds!

We had a lovely afternoon with Claire White learning about the process of writing a song. Everyone loved her fiddle playing and singing and enjoyed learning about the story of Betty Mouat and hearing her song. Then we had a go at writing our own song lyrics. There were some super ideas and lovely Shetland dialect too.

We had a great trip to the Lerwick museum where we saw lots of real artefacts and learned about crofting life in Shetland in the past.

We enjoyed another super trip out to visit the Quendale watermill. Joyce and John were great guides, teaching us about how the mill worked and the life and work of the miller and crofters in the past. There was so much to see that lots of people thought they would have to come back again.

Primary 2/3/4 enjoyed this workshop exploring their feelings and learning how to regulate them.

We all enjoyed a wonderful and exciting day on SMUHA Day, last Friday 10th March.

Well here we are again, another snow day.  I hope you are all well and keeping cosy.  As always I would encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy playing in the snow if they can, that will be your PE for today!

Here are a few more suggestions to add to last weeks ones that you can try at home if you are able to:

Maths

There is times tables practice on Sumdog for all the p3/4 children.

Literacy

Read your reading book or another book from home.

Watch a film and write a short review of it-What was it about, what did you think of it?

Play a board game.

Art

Make a collage picture of a snowman/snowy scene with scraps of paper/materials at home.
