P4 2024 – 2025

Tuesday 30^th January 2024 was a special day at Sound Primary School as we were visited by both the Junior and Senior Jarl Squads of 2024.

The Junior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl Skeppare Nokkvesson (aka Oran McCulloch), were in fine voice during their time with us, supported by a group of young local musicians who did a brilliant job. ‘Yes Sir, I can Boogie’ was definitely a highlight! The clip below shows all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song.

The Senior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl King Harald Olafsson (aka Richard Moar) were also pretty spectacular both in sight and sound. A fantastic line up of local musicians provided the music for the Up Helly Aa song and also their squad song which made us all want to get up and dance! Here is a clip of all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song. The Jarl commented how loud and enthusiastic our singing was. High praise indeed from a ‘King’!

P3A Snow Day Monday 15th January 2024

This term we have been learning about weather and climate. We have learnt about the weather in our area and the affect the weather has on what we do and what we wear. We put out a rain gauge and thermometer and kept a weather diary to see if we could spot any weather patterns. We made sure we went outside every Wednesday, whatever the weather, to see what the weather was like and found it interesting to see the changes in the weather each week.

We learnt about the 4 seasons and the types of weather in each season. We enjoyed writing our own weather forecasts and even made videos of us all presenting our forecasts, which was fun to do. The best part of this project was going on a trip to the Lerwick Weather Observatory. We walked with P3b to the observatory and watched as the weather balloon was prepared and then released. We were able to find out what the balloon does and how the observatory receives the data.

Our school value this term is safety. P3a learnt about firework/fire safety before bonfire night and created colourful pictures. We have also been looking at how we keep ourselves safe from illness. We have learnt why it is important to keep our hands clean and when we should wash our hands. We have also learnt the 7 stages of good handwashing and now follow these steps daily to keep any germs on our hands from spreading.
