Globi and a Swiss Student Teacher have been visiting us since the start of June.
More news soon…..

We are the smallest school in the UK to be given this award.
We are very proud of it.

Ketchup with Fair Isle
It appears that a jar of ketchup has escaped from Voxter and has ended up in Fair Isle.
They must like it lots. It looks like there is less sauce in the bottle now than there was!
Hmmmm!
Comments are open and are most welcome.
Bonxie Trip
A short film of our week.
Voxter Tuesday
We started the day with Breakfast and then the 5 schools separated with some going on a Boat Cruise, whilst others studied boats at the museum.
We fished for plankton samples and looked at them via a camera and a microscope.
We also got to look at what lives under the pier.
Voxter Monday
On Monday we arrived in Voxter and spent most of the day in the Clickiminn. This was good, especially as the weather wasn’t too pleasant.
There were many activities laid on: swimming, climbing wall, roller skating, bouncy castle & big toy play.
Everybody enjoyed the big play stuff.
Afterwards we went to Mareel to see Two By Two and then we headed up to Voxter.

Everybody seems happy.
Retirement
Our Head Teacher, Mrs Maggi Reyner, has announced that she will be retiring at the end of this term (summer 2015). Of course this school couldn’t let this pass by without some comment so here’s a short taster of what we have got planned for June 30th 2015…….
It’s Way Too Cool!
The title of this post comes from one of the pupils when he was watching the eclipse through the special sunglasses.
The video of the eclipse as seen from Fetlar is available here:
We didn’t think we were going to see much this morning as it was quite drizzly, but around 8:45am the rain stopped and it began to brighten. We took the telescope outside but we couldn’t get it to project clearly so we used the special glasses. The clouds kept passing over the eclipse but we were able to see quite a lot of it. The video, which was taken using the glasses as a filter, shows the best bits. It is a bit wobbly though. We won’t apologise for the enthusiastic cries of the pupils!
Special thanks to Janet (our regular helper and adviser on all things to do with Space) for coming up to the school to help us see it.
As this is a new website I am not certain if viewers can post comments. Please try to. I think I have altered the settings!!
