On Friday 10th September the P7s and Ms Scanlan had a rocky adventure with Rob at Scatness. Everyone challenged themselves with a look over the high cliffs, explored the rocky beach, searched for (and found – thank you Leighton) the geo cache, explored the Iron Age building, walked across the land bridge (without using our hands!), had a mindful moment and finally went on a rock hunt. We even tried a bit of sea lettuce!
As always we had a great day – thank you to Rob – and we’re looking forward to the next one already 🙂
Over the last few weeks P6/7 have been doing lots of citizen science activities. We have recorded lichens in the school grounds to check the quality of our air and we have learnt how to use Excel to record weather data.
It has been a lovely start to the year. We took advantage of the nice weather today to go and explore the wild area. Ethan caught a birthday frog and we had lots of fun.
This term Izzy Swanson has been making local history plays with us. Please have a look at the final films. A huge thank you to Koll for all the editing and Kelsi for the filming.

We were treated to another amazing afternoon of fun, which started with an excellent treasure hunt, fantastic bespoke caps and hot chocolate and marshmallows by the fire pit. Thank you so much to everyone involved!
Today the second half of the class had their John Muir adventure. We went to Scatness and had another rocky adventure. The weather was fantastic and we had a great day. A big thank you to Rob, for all the fun.
Half of P7 had their last John Muir day today and we had a rocky, scrambling adventure at Scatness. Rob was very impressed with everyone’s climbing skills and we all had a brilliant day.
We had so much fun this afternoon. Amy, Lois, Kayla and Ellie, with help from Amy, Michele and John, had organised the most amazing afternoon. They tricked the class into thinking we were going to be doing Jolly Grammar, but instead, everyone has an invite slipped into their workbooks, for their obstacle course, water slide and chocolate and food stall!
We couldn’t have had better weather as we were met at the door, by our bossy police officers, to attempt the first of several obstacle courses. Everything went at a very fast pace and there was lots of fun in trying to complete all the amazing challenges. There were lots of refreshments too along the way.
The ice cream stall and chocolate fountain were a big hit, as was the amazing water slide. I hope you enjoy the photos.
On Monday, Jennifer Thomson organised a fantastic day for P7.
We started in the hall with team building games and then Phil Hibbert came to teach us fencing, which was really good fun.
After break we played netball outside until the rain stopped play and we went into the hall to finish off and then had a quick game of hide and seek in the forest.
In the afternoon we went down to the pitch to play football and rounders.
It was a brilliant day and everyone had a lot of fun. Thank you Jennifer and Phil.
So here they are, the wonderful, fun loving new P6/7s Just another blogs.glowscotland.org.uk – Shetland site
