Yesterday it was a very good day until it started raining and then we saw a big rainbow. It was really pretty, it was a very beautiful sight too. We looked at it out our classroom window for a peerie minute then it faded away. Nynke drew a picture of it, it was very good. By Vaila

Well done Mairianne Jamieson! Mairianne has worked so hard over the last two weeks creating amazing pictures for our school calendar that we are going to be selling at our Christmas Concert on Monday 14th December. She has been so creative and she has been helping the younger pupils with their artwork. Look out for her artwork in the North Roe School 2016 calendar!

The bairns really enjoyed their spelling challenge last week. The challenge was to write a song or rap using some of their spelling words… and sing or rap it to the class! We set up the classroom like the X-Factor auditions with Miss Irvine and Mrs Jamieson acting as the judges! The contestants were amazing! The judges were very impressed and everyone made it through to the live shows. : )

On Friday we filled some shoe boxes for the charity Blythswood Care. We filled the shoe boxes full of things that will bring some joy to the boys and girls who receive them this Christmas. We thought about how fortune we are at Christmas time with all the presents we receive and so we wanted to take part in the shoe box appeal to help those who are less fortunate.

This afternoon Mrs French from our local community church came in for our Harvest Assembly. We all brought in our favourite piece of fruit, we enjoyed getting to try the different kinds. We did some lovely singing, Mrs French played the guitar while we danced along. We thought about others who haven’t had a good harvest. We know how fortune we are, we love living in Shetland and we are thankful to have so much nice food to eat.

Thomas’s mum came into school to show us some under the sea things for our topic. She works at the fisheries college and she is a marine biologist so she knows lots about stuff that’s under the sea. She showed us some fish that had been dried out on a heater. The fish were in plastic boxes so that they didn’t get squished and broken. We looked at fish otoliths they are fish ear bones. We learned how to tell how old fish are and how many winters they’ve had. If you look at their fish bones you can see lines, the more lines the older the fish are. We learned how deep different fish can go. If fish have lights on their head they live in really deep water nearly where the seabed is. We liked the presentation with lots of cool pictures of different things like crabs, lobsters, baby lobsters, sea en enemies. It was fun and really good, we loved having Thomas’s mum in teaching us.

My presentation was on Uyea. Uyea has been in my family for nearly 100 years. Uyea is a jewel of a place and its got da soond o da isle, its very popular for people to come and look at it. At home I made a poster all about Uyea, I got some photos off the internet and some from my Grandad that owns Uyea. On the map it shows you all the names and I’ve walked over all of that and I know the places off by heart. The jug in the photo is my great great grandad Alex’s jug, he used to milk da coos and carry the milk jug around with him and its nearly 100 years old. Now my mam has it, it stays in a glass cabinet in wir hoose. Its very special to me. My presentation went very good, I enjoyed it and would do it again. It made me feel much more confident. We are going to do another presentation next term.

I took some of my LEGO to school. On the computer I had some photos of my LEGO I made at home and on the computer there was one funny bit. There was one called the portaloo because the driver in the truck went too fast and the door went flying open so you could see the guy. I liked doing my presentation because LEGO is my favourite thing. I was happy because I showed the bulldozer.
