On Thursday 9^th October, S2 visited Shetland Museum Archives as the closing event of the Marseum Project, which they participated in earlier in 2025.

After a guided tour of the Museum’s exhibition spaces (by Exhibitions Officer, Karen Clubb), their first job was to view the exhibition of their work on the project, which is being displayed in The Neuk, one of the smaller exhibition spaces in the Museum. They offered feedback on the work in progress and engaged in discussion of ideas about the best ways to exhibit the materials.

Following that (and a quick snack) they were given a guided tour of ‘Mootie’s Hoos’ which is currently being exhibited in Da Gadderie. They engaged enthusiastically with Karen Clubb in discussion of several of the paintings. Their responses showed a very good level of insight and ability to respond to the work.

They rounded of a brilliant visit by producing a series of sketches based on some of the pieces exhibited.

The Marseum exhibition will be displayed in Da Neuk (upstairs in the museum) until the end of the calendar year.

MYJHS Values – Aspirational, Developing
UNCRC Article #31 – Every child has the right to rest, relax, play and to take part in cultural and creative activities.

During Wider Achievement times this term, our S1 pupils completed CPR training using the British Heart Foundation learning resources, including the Resusci Annie manikins.

CPR is a life skill that can save lives.

They practiced chest compressions, rescue breaths, and using an AED. Pupils discovered how quick action can make a real difference in emergencies. By learning CPR, they gained confidence, a sense of responsibility, and the power to help others—proving that even young students can be heroes.
