Yesterday our S3 class hosted our Annual Senior Citizens Event. This event started with some musical performances and followed by a Christmas feast, served up by the S3 pupils.
S3 pupils had to organise the event – setting up tables, welcoming guests, serving, raffle calling and cleaning up after the event.
A big thank you goes out to: the wonderful audience, canteen staff and our S3 pupils.
On Friday 1 December 2023 we had a visit from Dogs Against Drugs, Michael and Axel (the dog). They told us about their roles in drugs detection and shared details about their new website.

On Wednesday we held an assembly during which pupils shared their learning and we celebrated pupil successes.
Lower Primary shared their learning about climate change and what we can all do to reduce our impact.
Key messages they shared with us all include: switch off lights when you leave a room, switch off devices not being used, plant more trees, don’t cut down trees.
Celebrating Sporting Success
Annual pool, badminton and chess competitions are run for lower and upper primary classes and we celebrated their success. We also celebrated our successful S2 badminton players who won at the Shetland Schools Competition last week.
On Wednesday 8 November 2023, S2 pupils travelled to Lerwick to visit the Lerwick Power station & LEF.
During our visits we: had guided tours, learned more about electricity, engineering and fabrication; how important they are to our local economy; learned about health & safety issues, about job roles, skills and careers routes

Our S1 pupils were lucky to have Scottish Rugby coach pop along the school to develop their rugby skills. All pupils were very enthused by the experience.
Our thanks go to Active Schools for organising the visit.
Our S1 planned an overnight trip to Lerwick.

Our S3 pupils were given the opportunity of taking part in an overnight sail on the Swan.
They departed from the Uyeasound Pier on Tuesday 12 September and arrived at Mid Yell Pier on the Wednesday 13 Sept morning.
Lucky for them the weather couldn’t of been better. Good enough even for a morning swim!
We made Winter Vegetable Soup from the crop of vegetables from our school garden.
This year the garden has been very productive.
The peelings have been composted ready to help next years veggy supply.
On Wednesday 28 June 2023 our Duke of Edinburgh group set off on an adventure to Unst . This practice expedition, supported by Mrs Tulloch and Mr Nicolson, was designed to build groups skills – map reading skills, walking and camping – so they are able to complete their expedition in the summer holidays.
Cooking breakfast at 5 am, looking a bit tired, but still having fun!
