What a fantastic afternoon we had at the Fyanna Concert!

Pupils from across the primary school, along with some very talented musicians from the secondary department, performed in front of our pupils, staff and families. It was wonderful to see so many children sharing their musical talents and performing with such confidence.

P4/5 have spent many weeks practising Millarochy Bay by Nathan Evans, and all of their hard work and dedication certainly paid off. They sang beautifully and should be incredibly proud of themselves.

There was a special reason why Millarochy Bay was chosen as the final song of the concert. The song celebrates the beauty of our island home and the strong sense of community that makes Shetland such a special place to live. It was a fitting way to bring the concert to a close and left everyone with a real sense of pride.

I was so proud of every member of P4/5 for the effort, enthusiasm and resilience they showed throughout rehearsals and during the performance itself. Well done, everyone!

Over the past few weeks, our Thrive outdoor sessions have provided fantastic opportunities for pupils to learn, explore and develop important life skills in a nurturing environment.

The children have thoroughly enjoyed spending time outdoors, taking part in a range of activities that have encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, creativity and resilience. From exploring nature and working collaboratively to taking on new challenges, everyone has shown enthusiasm and a willingness to give things a go.

These sessions have also supported pupils’ emotional wellbeing, helping them to build confidence, strengthen friendships and develop positive relationships with both peers and staff.

It has been wonderful to see the children thrive outdoors, embracing new experiences and making the most of our outdoor learning opportunities. I am incredibly proud of the positivity, teamwork and determination they have demonstrated throughout each session.
