A few weeks ago, Whalsay Primary warmly welcomed local author, Jane Cockayne, with her first story Wilder An Da Nyuggel and Bruce Eunson from education Scotland and Shetland Forwirds.<\/p>\n

The story follows the adventures of a Scalloway boy called Wilder and his adventures meeting a water horse \/ Nyuggel. It is written in both English and Shetland, translated by Christine De Luca with a useful glossary in the middle to help with any familiar Shetland words.<\/p>\n

Bruce and Jane shared parts of the story and enjoyed super discussions and questions from each class. It’s a shame they couldn’t stay longer, next time! We were delighted to receive from Shetland Forwirds a class set of Wilder an da Nyuggel beautifully written by Jane and illustrated by Lauren Bulter so classes can enjoy reading the whole story.<\/p>\n

Miss Irvine has been studying about teaching Scots in schools and has loved how receptive the bairns have been to all of the Shetland lessons that have taken place this year, and it was lovely to see the bairns being so engaged with our visitors.<\/p>\n

Wilder an da Nyuggel by Jane Cockayne is available to buy from The Shetland Times Bookshop or Amazon.<\/p>\n
