My presentation was about my sheep Margee. She is 14 years old she eats bread and biscuits. This year she had a baby I named her star. I took Margee and star to school in our trailer and we had fun at school feeding Margee rich tea biscuits. She is a very very old sheep but she is my favourite sheep in the whole entire world.

Today we had a visitor in school, Mark came to talk to us about his job. He is a scuba diver! He brought in all his equipment to show us. We really enjoyed hearing all about his job, it sounds very fun. We also got to see some amazing pictures that Mark’s friend took when they were exploring around Shetland.

On the 25th September North Roe Primary School had a ‘Go Purple for CLAN’ day. We raised an amazing…. £236.44!!!!!!!! We would like to thank everyone for all their kind donations. It was great to see so many family and community members in the school supporting CLAN. The bairns organised a range of activities to raise money for CLAN. We had:
– a cake sale
– face painting
– purple hair spray
– CLAN merchandise
– guess the weight of the cake
– purple nail painting
– and a purple quiz!
We had a fantastic afternoon, thanks to everyone who came and made it so much fun!

We baked purple cakes to raise money for CLAN! Our favourite was the purple layers cake, we started by adding a peerie bit of purple food colouring then we added more for each layer. We added lots to the bottom layer to make it dark purple. We cut out purple decorations for our cakes. One of the cakes we made was for a ‘guess the weight of the cake’ competition. Scott’s mum guessed the closest weight so she won the cake!

We had a great time on our school trip to Mareel and The Shetland Museum. At Mareel we watched a film called ‘Song of the Sea’, it was about a Selkie. We loved the film, we are going to be writing our own imaginative stories about a Selkie. When we went to the museum we had a guided tour to learn about the importance of the sea to Shetland. After we looked around the museum we got to make peerie boats using different materials, it was so fun!

We visited the Altaire to learn about the Shetland Fishing Industry as part of our topic. We were shown around by one of the crew who told us lots about fishing. We had a fantastic day! We enjoyed going on a school trip in our local community, the Altaire is not far from our school.

We had so much fun hosting a Royal Tea Party to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II becoming Britain’s longest reigning monarch! We invited in our families and had a great afternoon eating all the cakes we made. We created posters all about Queen Elizabeth II and shared our learning with the adults, then we had a quiz to test how much we knew about our Queen! Our cakes were blue, red and white just like the Union Jack flag. Our favourite cakes were the ones with blue icing because the food colouring turned our tongues blue!

We had great fun today baking a Victoria sponge and cupcakes. We’ve been baking for our tea party we are having to Celebrate Queen Elizabeth II becoming the longest reining monarch. We worked well as a team to weigh out and mix the ingredients. We also helped each other to decorate the cake and cupcakes. We did a great job, we think our cakes look fantastic!
