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.
Happyhansel always support Children in Need (or Pudsey Day) and this year was no exception. Pupils donated money for coming to school in their pyjamas along with a cuddly toy. Here is everyone in their very fancy nightwear.
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.
P4-7 organised the Macmillan Coffee Morning in September. They made posters, sent out requests for baking, set up tables on the day and helped serve everyone. The cakes were delicious and it was all for a good cause.
