Ability Shetland | P4/5/6 (2024-2025)

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!

Have a happy weekend everyone!

Happy New Year! It’s been so lovely to see everybody back at school and to hear about the excitement of Christmas!

This week, we’ve been getting to know Mr Shannon, who is working alongside our class for his 5 week long teaching experience placement. We are delighted to welcome him to our class and hope he enjoys his time in P4/5 at DPS.

The children did so well at the Sandwick Pool this first week back showing great listening skills while being instructed by pool staff in the water and showing considerate and respectful behaviour while we spent time in Sandwick JH School. We are very proud of how they conducted themselves.

It’s always a tiring first week after Christmas so we were glad of some game time on Friday afternoon. We welcomed Charis, Kayleigh Anne and Avril from Ability Shetland to the school. They introduced us to Boccia and we played some target games. Great fun was had by all! We look forward to their return!
