Sporting Achievements

Leave a comment

This weekend has been a busy one for lots of our pupils.

Kirsty and Nora have been competing at the GTS winter swimming meet at Clickimin, both winning several medals.

Dylan and Ayanda have also been away competing in table tennis. They took part in the  Scottish Primary Schools Table Tennis Championships in Bathgate. There were 64 bairns competing from all across Scotland, with 7 bairns travelling down from Shetland to take part.

Ayanda won his group and made it through to the top 12 play-offs, finishing 10th place overall. Dylan came second in his group, but went on to win the plate competition, which puts him 13th overall. Then they paired up for the doubles tournament and made it all the way to the final, where they lost to the top two seeded primary players in Scotland.

 

It is lovely to see such dedication to sport!

Today we have managed to have some Halloween themed lessons:

In class PE we did some target practice aiming at some ghosts

We have made some fantastic mummy pictures, using oil pastels looking at how to blend colours

The class are now learning about Halloween homographs by playing grammar boom!

Inter Faith Visit

Leave a comment

Today we have had the pleasure of a visit organised by Shetland Inter Faith. We have heard from Buddhist monk, Rev Morawaka, Hakka Adzmir, a Muslim student and member of Interfaith Scotland Youth Advisory Board and Frances Hume, the National Development Officer from Interfaith Scotland.

It was really interesting to hear about faiths that are not well represented in Shetland, the class enjoyed listening to everyone, as well as seeing some of the special clothes worn by different religions.

We are very grateful to our special visitors today, and we very much appreciate their time to stop by for a visit.

Miss Moar has got the class started on our topic for the term, which is space. The class have started creating planets with balloons and paper mâché, these will go on to form part of our wall display in class. It looks like lots of messy fun!
