Class Charter
Our first task in our Health & Wellbeing work this year was to create our class charter. This involved the pupils in choosing which Articles from the UNCRC most relate to our time in school together. They chose …
Article 12 – You have the right to give your opinion, and for adults to listen and take it seriously.
Article 19 – You have the right to be protected from being hurt and mistreated, in body and mind.
Article 28 – You have the right to a good quality education.
Article 31 – You have the right to play and rest.
They then created a set of responsible behaviours for each Article that they, as the Rights Holders, will try to uphold. They also discussed the role of the Duty Bearers and discussed what they would like staff to consider too.
Please see our photos below of our disco ball, themed charter, which will remain on display throughout the year.

Dogs Against Drugs Visit
(No Ratings Yet)Loading...
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.
Today, we have had a visit from Hannah Anderson, who works for Dogs Against Drugs. We have learned about what the charity does to help keep us all safe.
They have an amazing team of very clever dogs, who are highly trained to sniff out illegal substances. Hannah brought in her dog, Hera to meet us too!

Fun and Feelings
On Friday, Caroline Leask was in school visiting every class. She did a session with each group focusing on emotional regulation, feelings and relaxation.
These sessions were donated to the school by Jillian Mouat that runs the Picnic Press, through her new Community funding initiative.
We are very thankful to both Jillian and Caroline for supporting our school!
Thinglink Interactive Map
For the first few weeks of term, the Primary 7s have been working hard, finding out about ‘Places that make us happy’ in the South Mainland. They used this learning to make an interactive map and this was shared today during the Shetland Health and Wellbeing week. It has been lovely to hear about everyone’s favourite places, stories and activities.
Please have a look and we hope that you enjoy it.
Here is the link for the finished map. https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1444059753809444865
The introduction and instruction for what to do is on the map.
Click on the white microphone first and it will explain everything.
There are then 5 types of tags
Green – wildlife
White – places
Red – stories
Yellow – history
Blue – activities.
If you click on a tag the audio will come up. There are also photos / written descriptions and most of the tags have a video link at the bottom of the script.
Enjoy 🙂
Jigsaw health and wellbeing
Since Term 1 the whole school has been using the new Jigsaw resources to learn about lots of health and wellbeing issues and practices.
This week in groups of 4 we had to complete tasks, involving all group members, but one couldn’t get out of their seat, one couldn’t see, another couldn’t hear and one had their hand behind their back. We thought about how we can enable everyone to join in and contribute.
P6/7 Leavers’ Disco
Wednesday night Primary 6/7 gathered to give the primary 7s there last disco at Dunrossness . We had a great time and the primary 7s are never going to forget all the jam-packed years at Dunrossness.

P7 Leavers Assembly
On Friday afternoon we did our final assembly. We each showed some of our special talents. Some people played musical instruments or sang a song and others showed a video of their skills. The P6s did a little presentation to say goodbye to us! At the end we preformed a song that a group of people wrote especially for the assembly called ‘As The Years Go By.’ Then Mrs Henderson and Mrs Hay gave us a little present, it was a great way to say goodbye! We all had a really good afternoon. By Emily and Eve
Here are some photos from our assembly.
Even some parents were given leaving certificates!
Staycation-Geocashing in and around Spiggie
On Monday the 11th of June, the four P7s went Geocashing at Spiggie beach. We had a lot of fun doing the Geocashing. Once we found the box, we took an item from the box and put an item back. Then we went on the big Spiggie beach and we all climbed a sand hill. Then AJ surfed down the sand hill and Zara, Lauryn and Bertie came down the hill too. Finally, we went back to school.
I really enjoyed skimming stones and climbing the sand hills. It was great and fun I think everyone else enjoyed it too. – Lauryn
I had the most fun in a very long time, and would be really keen to do it again sometime soon. – Bertie
I really enjoyed the day. -AJ
