We will be continuing our own artwork from learning how to section off a painting and tackle it in quarters to a large scale whole school collage. Watch this space!
Hans Holbein’s ‘Lady with a squirrel and a starling’ trip
Community Enterprise in Action!
Fetlar primary school was involved in the preparation for the arrival of the cruise ship Ocean Bravo which had sailed from Baltasound earlier in the day.
The children did some maths to find out what money could be made from the sale of items they decided to make for the school. They took advice from the Interpretive Centre about the sort of things that visitors to the Isle might want to buy based on their experience at the centre. They designed and planned the creation of decoupaged stonework with old maps of Fetlar.
The visitors loved talking to the children about where they lived and went to school as well as what they were selling. To top it all the sun shone throughout! Well done everyone.
Kapla Blocks
We have a trial of 1000 Kapla blocks in school at the moment. Lots of creativity going on, along with literacy, numeracy and maths!
Mr Thomson says we can keep them 🙂

We had lots of different toppings, and made our own pancakes.

Our Late Burn Supper
We had our Burns Supper on the 5th of February 2018. We had neeps, tatties and haggis, we also had a veggie haggis which to me was my favorite because it tasted like chickpea noodles. Imogen’s favorite haggis the meaty haggis because she thinks it was yummy. Darcy’s favorite was them both. To me the haggis look like fat sausages before we cooked them. my favorite bit of making the dish was peeling potatoes, it was so satisfying. We also did presentations, we read out facts about Robert Burns, poems and we sang Auld Lang Syne. Our Mums and Dads came too see us.
Guzing
On the last day of October 2017 we went guizing and got lots of spine chilling sweets. We started off at Peter Coutts house then went to my Dads house. My dads house was petrifying and my faveurtie because when we walked in singing he put on a really ghastly mask and ran at us it was so terrifying!
Then we went to the other end of the island and worked our way to Stakkaflets. I went as The Poker, because I had a pokey stick and sometimes I would poke people. I would like to thank all the people who gave us sweets and money for fireworks. We raised £77.00 for the fireworks. It was exciting!
Halloween!
There is a potion station set up in Nursery, even P6 and 7 have been creating new concoctions!
Our role play corner is a witches cave, but we have bikes instead of broom sticks!
Trip To Foula
We went to Foula and it was fun but here’s the thing that I think was funniest, so I was just walking when I came to a trowie like cave and on purpose I stepped on the trowies water hole! Then a burn was coming up and the trowies made me something that looked like a bridge but was just some green stuff in the swamp and I stepped on it and SPLASH! My right leg went right in so then I had to get the water out of my Welles and had wet socks. Also we were going to the Sneck O Da Smallie, anyway on the way back I saw the bridge thing again and I was just trying to tap my foot into the water but it went right in so then my left foot was wet.
At the Foula School there were these bike things and they were really fun. 
There was this one bike that let one person pedal and another go on the back and I was a taxi man taking everyone everywhere.
There was also a treasure hunt which was fun and adventurous there was 14 clues in the treasure hunt and my favourite was Task: 1 Escape school! 
At the end we got to choose a prize which was lighting up unicorn, a normal Unicorn and a balloon. I enjoyed the treasure hunt.
To get to Foula we needed to take a plane. The plane was small about 2 cars long, unfortunately we didn’t
go above the clouds but we went close to the clouds. The plane was pretty noisy. I kind of liked the plane ride.
For dinner on the first day we had spaghetti which was orange yellow and green. Imogen cooked it with Mrs Hay and it was delicious.
I liked my time in Foula and hope to go back there one day.
