We have been enjoying learning about lots of different areas to do with Shetland Maritime.  To round off our topic we were very lucky and got to go and visit the Antarctic, one of Shetland’s pelagic boats.

We were so lucky to get a look on board and were very surprised at how nice it was and also how gigantic the nets were.  A big thank you to Gavin, Davie and John for showing us around and also for the crisps and sweeties at the end! We loved it.

Primary 4 have been learning all about the weather this term.  We have been enjoying learning how to understand weather forecasts, why it is important to predict the weather as well as learning about some extreme weather.

We have been enjoying reading The Weather Weaver by Tamsin Mori which is set in Shetland.

For our assembly, we picked out some weather poems to read to our friends in P4/5 and P5.  Some of us learned signing to go along with our poems, some of us added in sound effects and some of us had a go at reading in Shetland dialect.

We also sang a song called “When it’s a sunny day” which we have been learning in music with Ms Simpson.
