Our Primary Department are now underway with the committees they have chosen to represent this year. Our groups meet every second Wednesday during a session we call ‘Article 29 Time’ (the right to an education that develops personalities, respect for others’ rights and the environment).

• Eco-Schools – This group have renamed themselves ‘Planet Protectors’ and are working towards creating their action plan. With a name like that we are expecting big things this year!
• Rights Respecting Schools – This group have been working on our charter for this year and are currently making a beautiful display! Watch this space!
• Pupil Council – This group have been using the ‘How Good is OUR School’ document to evaluate our current practice. We have been looking at Relationships and the group plan to issue a questionnaire to all pupils soon.
• JRSOs – This group are well underway and have already issued their first road safety competition! Winners will be announced before the holidays.
• School Grounds – This group are working hard to improve our top playground and play tunnel. They have big plans and we can’t wait to see what they achieve.

Huge Congratulations to Leah!

Congratulations to Leah for winning this year’s Young Shetland Writer competition in the 10-12 year old category for her piece called The Arctic.

Leah attended the prize giving ceremony at the Shetland Library on Friday night where she read her work.

Have a listen to her reading the beginning of her story.

We’re so proud of you Leah! Well done!
