This morning, six of our P4/5 pupils went to share their views, and the views of their peers, with SIC representatives at a Showcase Event. This followed on from our work with the ‘A Place In Childhood’ team last week.
The morning started with each South Mainland school, sharing what they had done on their tour day and talking through their priority lists. We were interested to hear that there were many similarities between the different areas.
Then it was time to talk to the SIC representatives! We spoke to people from the areas of Sport & Leisure, Roads, Waste Management, Environmental Health, Town Planning, Youth Services, the Sandwick Community Council and a Youth Worker. We were interested to hear what their jobs involved and many aspects of their remits, fitted into our priorities so we were able to pass our concerns to the right people, face-to-face.
Our morning finished off with us talking to Ross from Radio Shetland. We were included in the show which aired on Friday 16th May so please have a listen!

This has been a fabulous project to be part of with a lot of learning opportunities and experiences arising from it. We feel very lucky to have been involved and to have had input into how we can improve our local area for everyone, especially children.
Our poster and priorities will be displayed ready for the Learner Led Event on Tuesday 27th so please pop in and have a look!
