Thank you to everyone that came along on Friday night to get the fence painted. We’ve almost run out of purple paint now, and only the football pitch fence to go!
Painting Night – Friday 9th September
We plan to have a night to get the fences around the school completed. Please come along and join us, feel free to bring a brush or paint if you want!
Join us at the school from 3pm till we run out of paint, finish the fence, or get rained out.
If the weather is unsuitable on the day we will reschedule ASAP.
First day!
Making iced biscuits for Cruise ship this afternoon. 
We checkd our tatties and thinned our carrots. We did bake this one to see how they tasted – it wasn’t great!
First day smiles!
Planting tatties
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.
Loch of Funzie RSPB
So w
e went with Patrick, a RSPB warden. He took us to see a Snipe. I thought it souned like a virtual sheep but the others thought it souned like a sheep mixed with a duck. We did this on Friday the 13th of May. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. We did see a snipe they are small but not to small. They live in wet areas with lage tussocks of grass. We took a picture on a stone bird. Can you please click these…
Painting has begun!
We got out today and made a start on the fences, it was a beautiful day for painting!
Things we have learned today….
Butter and washing up liquid can get oil based paint out of hair.
Boiler suits let paint soak through them.
Too much paint on your brush causes lots of drips!
Miss Painter
Miss Painter has been here all week as part of her work experience.
She has read stories, helped design experiments, joined in all our activities from BookBug to Voar Redd Up, made visitors welcome, volunteered for tasks and shown initiative.
Thank you from everyone at Fetlar Primary School Miss Painter, we hope you come back to visit us again soon!
Voar Redd Up – Part 1
We started our Redd Up this afternoon at Tresta. Patrick joined us from the RSPB so we could take a walk along the beach and identify some birds as well.
We gathered lots of rubbish but will have to go back to finnish off later.
Garden Day
The weather on Sunday was wet and horible, we all gathered to make the playground tidier. People even came from Yell and Unst to help us!
We cleared moss and lichen from the fence to get them ready to paint.
We cleared all the weeds from the tarmac.
It was hard work, sometimes the scraper stuck on the wood of the fence.
We had soup, bread and ham sandwiches for lunch.
Next we are going to paint, it will look fantastic when we finish it all off.

Easter Egg Hunt
This morning everyone gathered at school for an Easter Egg hunt, from secondary pupils right through to preschool.
Eggs were painted, and then the hunt began!
A big THANK YOU to the staff that gave up their time to help set up painting, closing up the school after, and the Easter Bunny for making a special trip to Fetlar for us.
I hope everyone had a eggtastic time!
