Patrick’s Party

Over the last 6 months, Patrick, the Assistant RSPB Warden  has been a fantastic resource for the school. As part of his work in the community he has helped us learning about local wildlife, visiting the birdhide to look for Snipe, helping with Voar Redd Up, Otter trecking and giving advice whenever asked. Patrick came along to school today to say goodbye as his contract with RSPB ends, and we all wanted to say a big thank you!

We went down to ‘Fetlar Forest’ and learned about some of the different trees there. We found fir, spruce and rowan trees.

We made presents and cards for Patrick to say thank you – hopefully he will come back and visit us again!

Yell Show

After preparing for the last two weeks, deciding what to enter, choosing our tatties and carrots, selecting art work, making sculptures, making cards, taking photos, editing photos, decorating baskets and baking bannocks, we put our entries to the show.

It was a fantastic day – lots of sunshine along with amazing art work and entries from all over Shetland.

We were all delighted to take part, and even got a few red, blue and yellow tickets!

Planting tatties

IMG_4570 Planting tatties was fun. We made rows with string and used them to put the tatties in straight lines. We planted 32 rows!

We painted stones to make markers to show which tatties are in each row.
