We have been missing Shetland’s Up Helly Aa festivals, so as part of our “Wider Opportunities” work we planned our own one! We learned a tremendous amount of new skills throughout this process, from preparing squad performances to galley-building, baking and dancing! The video below shows some of the highlights – we hope you enjoy it. 🙂 (Click on the image to access the video.)

Primary 1-3 recently had our Den transformed into Ghostbusters HQ! We had a fun couple of weeks as scientists building our own ghost-catching equipment and doing some experiments. We’re ready to believe you!

Bairns had a wonderful day at their Christmas Party! Christmas snack which included of making your own healthy Christmas bobble, using fruit and vegetable to make patterns. Bairns played a few party games before a special visitor came to visit and delivered presents to the children.

Primary 1-3 have been learning about different world religions. We watched a video about Hinduism and a special festival they celebrate called Raksha Bandhan. We made “rakhi” bracelets which are given as gifts to share between close friends. Primary 1-3 will be bringing them home today!

The children loved wearing their pyjamas and taking part in Pudsey Day! We spoke about how Children in Need was all about raising money to help children. We enjoyed visiting the shop and making lots of Pudsey crafts!

The bairns thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a fire pit activity this morning. We have been speaking about how to be around a fire safely this past week and the children were able to apply this knowledge and demonstrate very safe behaviour around the pit. They loved having a go at lighting the fire using a fire steel and then cooking up some snack afterwards.
Here are some quotes from the children –
While making a spark “I am so happy I did it”
“It’s hot”
“Look it’s got colours, orange and yellow”
“You only walk to the fire”
“We need to sit down to put our food on”
“You have to wait, it cools down, you have to blow it”
“This is the best day ever!”
Can you guess who’s the biggest bairn in ELC?😂
