The P 6/7 s have been working hard on their reading this term. Some of the bairns have made a super effort to read more frequently, or more difficult books, or read books by unfamiliar authors. Ms Scanlan had a really difficult job deciding which two pupils should get a £10 book voucher. In the end she had to put several names in a hat and the two well-deserved winners were Michaela Christie and Jemima Budge. Well done to all the excellent and enthusiastic readers in P6/7!
We have been building up to SMUHA for a couple of weeks, with lots of time spent on maakin, preparing props, making up sketches and practising songs.
Friday was a perfect day and the Norse gods made sure we had perfect weather for the procession. Our guiser jarl Truncherface AKA Calum Mackay, and his fantastic Trowie squad led the procession well and all the other bairns sang and roared impressively! John and the galley boys had made another excellent galley and the burning was great to watch.
Back in the hall after break, we were treated to some very funny acts and finally the squad came in to sing their songs.
In the afternoon we were treated to some drumming with Joy and Emily playing her fiddle. The jarl squad looked fantastic when they arrived and it was great to go into the playground to see their galley.
It was a really super day in school and we hope that you had fun in the evening.
Last week, Hugh Harrop, director of Shetland Wildlife, gave our school a pair of binoculars and a copy of the new photographic bird field guide ‘ Britain’s Birds ‘. These will be really useful during our Big Schools Birdwatch, thank you very much, we’ll let you know what we see!
