We had an absolutely superb Up Helly Aa day. We sang and cheered along with the Jarl Squad and visited the bill. We even had a super visit from the Senior Jarl Squad and got to look at their outfits close up. They looked amazing!

Happy New Year Everyone!
P2/3A have learned a new song to wish everyone a happy new year! After learning the melody and the lyrics, we learned how to read a basic graphic score which showed us which instruments should be playing at different parts in the song.
We used percussion instruments as part of our song and we each had a turn of playing all four – boomwhackers, tambourines, triangles and claves.
Here they are in action!
Curriculum Information for Term 3

Healthy Bodies
We have started our healthy bodies topic. We have been looking at skeletons. The class have enjoyed these games:
Skeleton games – Teaching resources
Bones of the Skeleton – Map Quiz Game – Seterra
We drew around 3 pupils and the pupils tried to label as many bones as they could remember. It was lots of fun!
Up Helly Aa has begun!
The bairns have loved making the shields this week, doing an up helly aa themed silhouette picture and enjoying our play areas that are set up like a galley shed.
