We made drop scones and pancakes. They were delicious. Nursery wrote the recipe for us and we followed it exactly! The P7 boys decided they would like to practice their culinary skills more often!
Geodesic dome igloo
Nursery is learning about winter, so we made them a geodesic dome!
We used instructions from this site, and recycled the back drop we made from our Christmas show. 
First we had to make templates and draw a lot of triangles!
Then we had to cut them out and fold the flaps. It was really important we were accurate in our cutting and folding, we had to fix some of them later!
Then we had to start taping them all together so we could make the shape of the dome.
Finally it was ready to for nursery to play with! We tried it out as well 🙂
Back to school and nursery!
We’ve had a fantastic few days back to school. Nursery has reopened, and our classroom looks a bit different!
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!
BookBug Visit
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!
The Police come to call
Monday 2nd November was abusy day in the school, with the library van coming and a visit from the Police. We managed to get them to let us sit in the Police van and then set off the sirens (which was good as the Nursery’s theme this week is dealing with emergencies).
Vanuatu Fund Raising
Despite being busy with the solar eclipse, some of the pupils managed to make cakes for our Baking Sale at the shop.
We made chocolate crispies in school, in between eclipse viewings, but we also had pupils bring baking in from home and many donations of traybakes from the community. Nursery made delicious flapjacks.
We had a target of £33 so that we could donate to Unicef in order to supply 3 water purification kits to families in Vanuatu.
Thanks to everyone who came, and the kind permission of Fetlar General Merchants, we managed to raise £109 which means we can send 9 purification kits.
Well Done Everyone.
Vanuatu
We discussed the situation in Vanuatu caused by the cyclone at the weekend (13th-15th March) and decided that as a school, which believes in the rights of every child, we should do something about it. UNICEF said on their website that for £33 we could give 3 family sized water purification kits, so we decided to aim for that.
We are holding a cake bake this Friday (20th) at the shop, with all donations going to Unicef. Pupils, parents and friends of the school are making traybakes or fancies to sell. Nursery are also making cakes as well. We are not pricing items – just asking for a donation. We will be at the shop between 11 and Noon on Friday (or until we sell out).
Please support us.
