Everyone Reading in Class

Every morning, we start the school day with ‘everyone reading in class’ (ERIC time). We want the children at North Roe School to read for enjoyment and love reading! The children get to choose their own book from the library, we read for 15 minutes. Here is Pyter enjoying listening to a story on the ipad.

STEM

Our STEM ambassador Duane came into school to teach us about forces and thrust. We made rocket balloons and tested them out to help us understand how thrust works. It was so much fun, we had to think of different ideas as to how we could make our rocket balloons travel even further.

School Trip

As part of our ‘Rainforests’ topic, we have been learning about responsibility and sustainability. We have been learning how we can reduce, re-use and recycle all the things we use instead of just throwing things away. We went on a school trip to the Shetland Energy Recovery Plant and learned how non-recyclable waste is burned to create the energy needed to heat the water for the district heating in Lerwick. We also went to the Gremista base to find out what happens to the waste that can be recycled. We saw some plastic all ready to be shipped south to be recycled.

Chicks!

We have been learning about life cycles. We put 12 hens eggs in an incubator and patiently waited… we were so happy when 8 out of the 12 eggs hatched. We loved getting to take care of and hold our 8 little chicks. They’re so cute!

Sharing our Learning

The children have been sharing what they have been learning about in Health & Wellbeing with the education attainment advisor for Shetland, Mrs Hargreaves. They showed Mrs Hargreaves all the work they have done on Social and Emotional Wellbeing. They explained how they learned about mental health and emotion control through the characters from the ‘Inside Out’ film – Anger, Joy, Disgust, Sadness and Fear. The children have been learning about the purpose of their emotions and ways of managing them.

The children created these silhouettes to represent that we always have different emotions going around in our heads. The important thing is that we talk about them and learn how to manage them. We should never bottle up our emotions.
