This afternoon we had a great time trying a few traditional French foods, that our Cannes pen pals eat. We tried baguettes, Camembert, Brie, Boursin, blue cheese, green and black olives, croissants, chocolate crepes and profiteroles .
Tryphena, Joanna, Mirrin and Faith helped to set everything out and kept everyone fed!
It was great to see lots of the class trying new foods and even enjoying them!
We received some more lovely cards from our French pen pals. This time they told us all about the festivals that they have at this time of year. We are writing back to tell them all about SMUHA and the other UHAs in Shetland.
Faith, Nathyn and Mirrin, with the help of Mrs Graydon, have put up a really super SMUHA display in the corridor, come along and have a look.
Poppy Neild came to see us this afternoon to teach us about hearing. She gave us lots of interesting information and also taught us how to use the British Sign language alphabet. She was very impressed by the speed at which Callum could spell out words. We’re looking forward to seeing her again next week.
What a fantastic week we had last week.
Mrs Henderson had organised a busy week of activities including a visit from the NSPCC, Traditional dance with Maria Leask, a museum visit and activities with Stephen and Esther Renwick and Art and craft with Mrs Leslie. There were also lots of SMUHA activities including making the programme, key rings, home bakes and making sure that all the squads were ready.
Shane (Bjorn Ironsides) and his P7 squad led the procession and we were so lucky with the weather. We had a great time in the Boddam hall, with all the entertainments and the visit from the SMUHA squad.
Today we had a really interesting talk from the NSPCC.
We learnt about Children’s Rights.
The 3 rules for all are:
to speak and be heard
be safe
get help when you need it.
We found out about the 5 types of abuse: neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and bullying.
We learnt about Childline, who you can phone confidentially at any time on 08001111
We had a fantastic day at Kergord, for our second John Muir Day. The weather was perfect, even though it is still just February. The P7s were brilliant. The John Muir Award is about exploring the wild, but its also about challenging yourself, and our intrepid P7s certainly did that today. They were climbing the trees like monkeys by the end of the afternoon  Well done everyone, I was very proud of you all😁😊
Today we completed all our Shetland postcards to send to our friends in Cannes. They really are beautifully drawn and the French writing is excellent !
Nathyn helped us all with some really difficult problem solving today in maths. Not only did he work out the difficult calculations, but he explained it really well to the class. We were all very impressed.
All the P6/7s have finished writing their Scrooge stories. Today they worked with their writing partners to see how well they had met the success criteria and help each other to make any changes.
