Emalee, Robert and Ethan travelled to Westside Leisure Centre to take part in the Shetland North Primary Football League, hosted by Active Schools.

The day began with friendly matches against Tingwall and Aith, with players from Aith and Mid Yell kindly helping to make up numbers so 5-a-side games could be played. Yell opened with a strong 2–0 win over Tingwall, showing excellent teamwork and finishing. The second friendly against Aith was closely contested and ended in a 0–0 draw, with strong goalkeeping on both sides.

League matches followed, starting with a tough game against Tingwall. Emalee and Ethan defended well throughout, while Robert created chances with skilful dribbling. Despite their efforts, the match finished 1–0. The final game ended in a 4–0 loss to Aith, but the team showed great determination and leadership until the final whistle.

Well done to Robert, Ethan and Emalee, and thanks to Mr Lawson for providing transport.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who so donated to our Reverse Advent Calendar in support of the Shetland Foodbank.

Organised by our Rights Respecting School Committee, this initiative encouraged our school community to think about others during the festive season by giving, rather than receiving. Each donation—no matter how big or small—will make a real difference to individuals and families in Shetland who need extra support.

Your support will help ensure that those facing difficult times feel supported and cared for.

Thank you for making a positive difference this festive season.
