Julie and Karen brought BookBug to Fetlar Nursery today!
Everyone had a great time singing and listening to stories.
Julie read us a story
before they left!
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!
Sport Relief
On Friday 18th March we raised money for Sport Relief by having our own version of a ‘Try-athalon’.
Sponcership was gathered from all over the island, and we managed to raise £61!
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported us.
Music Festival
On Tuesday the 15th we went to the Music Fetival in Mareel.
Fetlar Primary School and Baltasound Junior High School were working together as a team. Primary 3/4 sang ‘100 Shetland Islands’ and ‘Concider Yourself’. They were awarded Gold.
Primary 5/6 wrote our own instrumental piece. We made our own instruments. We were awarded Gold.
Primary 7 played the main theme from ‘Star Wars’, we were awarded Bronze.
After performing we went to the playpark. We played on the amazing play equipment before we came home.
We had a fantastic day!
Trip to Bonhoga
All of Primary 3, 4 and 5 went to Bonhoga. We went on the 22nd February 2016. There were two schools. The two schools were Baltasound and Fetlar. We went to the art gallery. We were going to do art there. The teacher was called Amy Gear. She was very nice.
First what we did was to see which picture we liked the most out of all of them. Then we said which one we didn’t like. It was hard for me because I liked most me of them. Then we had lunch I sat with Claire, Zoe and Talia. When I finished I played tag with my friends. Then the teachers came outside to take us for an adventure. There was a little wall.
When we went back inside we wrote a word and we surrounded the word with other words that described the first word. After that we went in the bus to the ferry and on the ferry we got to go up stairs. When we got to other ferry me, Aaron and Mrs Hay went to Cullivoe Primary School. I played with Amanda and Tali.
I had a great day!
Fetlar Primary Coffee Morning
The Coffee Morning was at Fetlar primary school on Friday 19th February. There was a lot of food. My favourite food was mini pancakes and marble cake. A lot of people came. Ferry men came. People would go to get tea or coffee first. I gave out sugar and milk for tea and coffee. People stared to leave but I had fun. We raced £47.94p.
Chinese New Year
As part of our learning about Chinese New Year, Meilo So came to visit us. Meilo is an artist and illustrator from Yell. She taught us about Chinese characters and even brought us some of her books as gifts for the school!
We all had a great time, Mr Thomson joined in too!
RSPB Big Bird Watch
Although we tried our best, no birds came to visit the food we put out! Martha came along from the RSPB to help us and gave us some great advice about how to encourage birds into the school gardens. Hopefully next year we will have lots to report for out Big Garden Birdwatch!
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).
