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.
Lessons about hearing
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.
SMUHA 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.
NSPCC
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
John Muir Day
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😁😊
Postcards for Cannes
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 !
Maths Magic!
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.
Writing Partners
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.
Badminton Training
P5/6 and P6/7 had a great time with Jane Grant from Badminton Scotland this morning. She was visiting the school to provide some badminton training. Everyone learnt a lot of new skills and had a great time.
Maths games / logical thinking
My maths group has worked so hard over the last few weeks on all the different topics, that today we decided to have a fun session where they could choose to play a range of maths / problem solving / logical thinking games. It was lovely to watch all the skills demonstrated and see how well everyone worked together or on their own. There was some real determination shown especially for some of the shape tasks.
