The class had two entries into this year’s Music Festival. The whole class formed a choir to sing “Long White Sails” and “Cantata”. They sounded amazing on the stage, pitch perfect and beautifully in time. Then six of the class formed a fiddle group to perform three pieces. Once again their delivery was excellent, all working well together. The adjudicator was so impressed that both groups were invited back to perform at the Gala Concert on the Thursday night. At the end of this concert their efforts were rewarded when they were presented with the “Outstanding Contributor to the Music Festival” Award.
P5-7 and a couple of pupils from Sandness Primary took part in this year’s Drama Festival at Mareel. The play was about some Vikings trying to get into Valhalla after a battle. The children did well to learn all their lines and delivered them with impeccable comic timing, keeping the audience on the night well amused. Their performance was such a success that they won the Junior section Trophy. Well Done.
A huge thanks goes to Hilary Smith for giving up her time to come and work with the pupils on this.
Well done to Charlie and Lou for their combined effort in story telling! Charlie crafted a story following the life of a woman from Shetland who was inspired to train as a nurse after witnessing the heroic deeds of other nurses during WWII. Lou helped Charlie to develop the charaters and round off the story before it was written up.
This week’s achievement award goes to both Olivia and Katie for their outstanding effort in maths, where they worked together to practise their mental maths skills.
In January P4-7 made lava lamps with Miss Clubb the student teacher. Using oil, water, food colouring and bicarbonate of Soda (an alka seltzer tablet) they recreated the “popular” 70s accessory. As well as having lots of fun the children also learnt about how carbon dioxide, released from the bicarbonate, behaved in the oil/water mix.
