On Wednesday 25th January 2023, S2 & 3 travelled to Brae High School to meet with local employers to discuss the importance a learning a second language.
There were lots of local employers there, including: Frankies Fish & Chip Shop, Total Energies, Harper Macleod, Cooke Aquaculture, Shetland Arts, all had stories to share when having a second language had been useful.
At lunchtime on Tuesday we held a special lunch for “Burns Night” to celebrate the life of Robert Burns.
Everyone stood while the haggis was brought in. Our P7 class “addressed the haggis” before we all sat down to a lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties, washed down by our National drink, irnbru!
Our North Isles netball team (Mid Yell JHS and Baltasound JHS) recently won the Shetland Schools competition. This qualified them to play Kirkwall Grammar School in the Scottish Schools Cup. This was played last week at the Clickimin Leisure Centre. The team came up against a very strong Kirkwall team, but after a battling first quarter finished 6-6, the Orcadians went on to take control of the game and ran out eventual winners 41-16. Despite the result, the lasses thoroughly enjoyed the experience and performed with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. We are very proud of them!
Our lower primary love to explore through play, and this past week they have been learning about all things “Under the Sea”. This has involved learning about flotation, sea creatures, creating an underwater area and experiencing different textures and sounds!
