So far this year, we have been very lucky to have lots of visitors (both virtually and in person) who have shown generosity and kindness toward our peerie school.<\/p>\n

Firstly, you might remember seeing our fabulous artwork created with visiting resident artist Lori Deeley, where we made our own paint by grinding up different materials. Lori lives in Newfoundland in Canada and sent us the most beautiful book about her home, which also can be sung. It is about wanting to live by the sea in harmony with nature and not in a big city. So it is just perfect for Newfoundland as well as Fair Isle. Thank you Lori.<\/p>\n

Secondly, we met a lovely teacher in the Summer Holidays called Mr Shields, who works at Eton College in England. Eton is a very different school to ours and we had fun exploring the differences. But, what unites us is a love of reading. Eton asked us if we would like some books as they often have fundraisers and send books to other schools as well as their own. We looked through our own library and put together a wishlist. Very kindly and generously, funds were raised to buy the whole list! Here are some pictures of us with some of the books, with a whole ferry-load to follow in January.<\/p>\n

We may be a school of four children, but we love making links and getting to know folk far and wide.<\/p>\n
