What a perfect start to World Book Day. P2/3/4 and P6/7 partnered up to read together. Everyone had brought in their favourite book and in pairs / threes, sat together to share their books. It was lovely to see everyone listening and reading so well

Enterprise Project
The enterprise groups are continuing to work hard on their projects and everything is starting to take shape 😊
Welcome back
It has been lovely to see everyone again. It has been great to have some nice weather too and to start out Enterprise project.Today the weather was so nice that we went outside for reading time and we started our fractions topic by drawing house fraction walls.
Term 3
This term we have been learning about Sound, doing lots of investigations and practical science and making instruments. Today we will be looking at all the amazing and creative musical instruments that have been made. Looking forward to hearing them all.
Last Friday we did the RSPB Schools Birdwatch, we had made fat balls and put birdseed out for several weeks. We didn’t see many species – mostly House Sparrows and Starlings, but all the P6/7s were fantastic at using the binoculars and identifying the species. They had also made superb identification posters about all our most common birds.
French penpals
Today we all finished our cards for our new penpals at Jacqueline de Romilly school in Cannes, France.
They will be really pleased when they receive them 😃
Life Cycles
The Primary 7s have been working very hard on their life cycle writing and here are some of their beautiful pieces of writing.
We also had fun this morning looking at the shark, ray and skate egg cases and finding out all about them.
BBC Radio Scotland Junior Historians
What a great day we are having, with Rhona Brudenell from BBC Scotland and Davie Gardner from Radio Shetland making a Junior Historian radio programme, about the Braer.
We are having lots of visitors in to talk to us and we have learned all about the Braer disaster. We have been learning how to ask good questions to find out the most interesting information.
The visitors today were Jonathan Wills, Helen Moncreiff, Jim Budge, Sheila Fowlie and Mary Blance.
Carla – It has been really good fun, we have learnt a lot.
Becca – It’s quite nerve racking peaking into a microphone.
Isaiah – I have really enjoyed listening to their stories, it’s been fun learning, like a treat!
Hari-Lou – It’s a bit odd, but exciting.
Robert B – I’m really looking forward to hearing it on the radio.
French topic presentations
Our groups have all finished their topic displays and presented all their information to the rest of the class. There was some really excellent information and really imaginative ways of presenting it.
French cards
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.
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 !
