Today Jenny came in to teach us a very old traditional ballad and them we got back to the straw hats.
We had to knot them in a row and then we joined it to make our hats.

The Lost Songs
We had a super morning with Jenny Sturgeon and Roseanne Watt, who are coming into school for four weeks to do a dialect / Shetland history project with us. Jenny started by singing a song for us and Roseanne recited a poem.
We did two activities, firstly we learnt a dialect song about spinning and then we started to make our skekler hats. We will finish them next week.
Dialect and celebration assembly
On Wednesday we had a really lovely morning. Lots of family and friends came to watch the dialect singing that Maria Barclay has been doing with each class. It all sounded really wonderful and we enjoyed homebakes afterwards.
