For World Book Day today, we have been up to nursery to share some stories with the bairns there. We have also attended a live author event with Michael Rosen.

Sporting Achievements
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!

Halloween in P6/7
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! 
Voar Redd Up
Well! We couldn’t have picked a better day to clear up around da Costa-Del-Boddam Loop!
The bairns did really well, and have gathered a huge amount of bruck.

Today we have had Michael and Megan in from Dogs Against Drugs.
We have learned about safe drugs, such as coffee, inhalers or Calpol as well as hearing all about the charity’s work. We found it really interesting to learn about the recovery position and have been practicing using it.
Inter Faith Visit
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.
P6/7’s Resident Carpenter
Archie regularly takes in photos and small pieces that he has crafted from wood, and we often marvel at how easy this comes to him. Today, he has brought in a chair that he has made, it is absolutely beautiful. It even has a detachable arm rest!
