It has been great to welcome the children back after the Easter holidays. As always, we wasted no time in cracking on with our learning. One thing we love here at school is our link with Fair Isle Bird Observatory (FIBO or “The Obs” for short). On Thursday for the Fair Isle Times, we interviewed two of the lovely seasonal workers who have returned back for the season – Luke and Maebh. We found out lots of interesting information about them and even made them play a game of “Mr and Mrs”. We learned that they first met on another island – Lundy, that Luke is the better driver and Maebh always has the last word in an argument.<\/p>\n

Here is an introduction to the term written by P6:<\/span>
\nWelcome back to a whole new term of Fair Isle Times. Spring is upon us: lambs are jumping about, flowers are blooming but the sea is as rough as ever. Also, don\u2019t forget that the Obs is reopening and that means Kenny\u2019s Bar is returning so we can hang out and socialise together. We are enjoying welcoming back familiar faces. In this edition of the Fair Isle Times, we are interviewing (drumroll please\u2026) Luke and Maebh! The much-missed duo have returned.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, we went down to The Obs to pass on some of our learning. Steve, the wonderful Hospitality Manager, had asked us to complete a front cover for a folder that will display Fair Isle Times articles that visiting guests can read. How exciting! Our older learner had completed a fantastic leaflet for people who are staying at The Obs to read about his favourite walks around Fair Isle, so they have kindly agreed to display that, too. Who knows… maybe they will follow his recommendations?<\/p>\n

Here are some super photos of us with Luke and Maebh and us down at The Obs.<\/p>\n
