We had a slightly topsy-turvy start to the new term (and calendar year) here in Fair Isle. The snow fell the day before we were due to come back and school was closed for two days. Snow is fairly rare in Fair Isle so we made the most of it by wrapping up warm, heading outside, sledging and socialising with our friends, relatives and community members as well as taking some photographs of our beautiful island covered in this thick blanket of white. Here are some of those photographs for you. We are looking forward to the term ahead and cannot wait to share some of our learning with you.
