Farewell Primary 7

Primary 7 came into school this week for their farewell visit. It was great to catch up with them all and see how much they had grown. They were all sporting healthy tans and in in some cases much longer hair! Usually we would have an End of Year concert and Prize giving evening and then the last week of term a leaving party which they would have organised. However it was not to be this year. They enjoyed a drink and snack and gathered all their work to take home, including their Personal Learning Folders which had examples of work going back to their time in Nursery, and charted their learning journey through the school. Mrs King presented them with leaving certificates and gifts. When they left the building they were surprised by a gathering of other pupils and parents who lined the road from the school to clap them on their way and wave placards thanking them for being buddies. We wish them all the best for the future.

Christmas Dinner and Party – December 2019

Every year Happyhansel are joined by Sandness Primary for the Christmas Service . This year it was held at the Methodist Church in Walls. This is always followed by the two schools enjoying their Christmas Dinner together. To make it extra special this year the Sandness pupils stayed for the Christmas Party in the afternoon. Everyone had a great time and hopefully we’ll be able to repeat it all next year.

Shoe Box Appeal – November 2019

Every year Happyhansel takes part in the Blythswood Trust Shoe Box Appeal. Donations of everyday items that we may take for granted such as toothbrushes, soap, gloves and sweets are collected in school. Then shoe boxes, are covered in wrapping paper and  filled up with items for a person of a certain age and gender. These are gathered in Shetland and then transported down to the Scottish mainland before being taken on wards to their recipients  in Eastern Europe.

The Pupil Council about to hand over this year’s shoe boxes.
