Today we celebrated Down Syndrome Awareness day by donning our brightest, odd socks!
Yesterday, we watched a video that explains what Down Syndrome is and there were many really thoughtful questions raised following this. If you want to watch the video at home, the link is below!
We have one very special classmate that we like to celebrate on Odd Socks Day! This year, we wrote 21 things we love about her. Ask your child at home why we chose the number 21!
To round off what was a great day, we managed to squeeze in one final session of Curling! This has been a real HIT with all the pupils, with grateful thanks to Charis at Ability Shetland!
We have been preparing for SMUHA over the past couple of weeks. We started by creating our pictures for the hall. We drew Vikings on polystyrene, then used ink and rollers to add colour. They looked great!

This week we prepared our torches and helmets ready for the procession!
We are so lucky to have two beautiful galleys!
Two pupils were lucky enough to have their shield design chosen for our school galley and another pupil had her one on the main SMUHA galley! Congratulations!
The sun was shining today for our procession and burning. Well done to our P7 Squad who did us proud again! Everyone was in fine voice at the hall too! It’s been a g-r-e-a-t day!
On Thursday 6th March we celebrated World Book Day. We started off by listening to a snippet from Mrs Smith’s favourite childhood novel and then we did a fast and furious Speed Recommendation where we had one minute each to sell our favourite books!
Some pupils also spent time with Ms Stewart going through a sensory story for the, ‘We’re Going On A Bear Hunt’ book.
After playtime, we looked at lots of novels and picture books and spent time talking about what makes a good book recommendation. We noticed that they often use good describing words, mention themes tackled in the story and what type or genre the book is. We also looked at who was commonly making the recommendations and why they were a good choice.
After lunch, we tried to write our own recommendations for our favourite books to be added to a class display. It was quite tricky to keep it short and remember that we weren’t describing the plot like in a report!
Here are some of our attempts…
“Thrills readers with a ride through a detailed world full of horrific, exciting and imaginative mysteries.” Archie, the number 1 fantasy fan.

Last week, we started to prepare our World Book Day display by drawing us looking at our favourite books and we tried to think about what our expressions would look like while we are reading!
