Engineering

People came in for stem week and what we did for stem week was land yachts.  We had to make a land yacht out of Lego.

                                   

Technology

Learning about circuits

We made music with special paint, when touched our pictures it played music.

  

 

Science

We had to make water move from one cup to another. We put water in one cup left one empty and put kitchen roll in the water and folded it into the empty cup. The water climbed up the kitchen roll and dripped into the empty cup, we used food colouring to make it interesting. We put another cup of different colour water on the other side to see it change colour in the middle.

We left it overnight, when we came back in the morning it was blue green and red.

Then we tipped the water outside it was red and blue we had to use chalk to trace over the water.

We began the term with a block of athletics. We took part in a variety of activities across three key areas: running, jumping and throwing. This gave us plenty of opportunities to learn, practise and develop our skills across the different events.

The school planted trees on the field.

Shetland Amenity Trust came to help us plant the trees; we planted over 300 trees everywhere in the field.

First, we got shovels, then we got shown how to do it. Then we got told to go and try ourselves. We all went in groups of 1,2,3, and 4. We had to find a good spot and make a square in the ground and then flip it over. Next, we stomped it down and make a cross and open it up a bit. Finally, we popped the trees in and patted it down. It was quite hard to find soft ground for most of us but we got it.

It was really fun and exciting, the people that helped said we were a big help to them.

Everybody was a big help!

We learned about Arthur Anderson. We drew him and wrote about him. We made models of sea animals. We learned about how fishing has changed from sixareens to modern boats.

We did a performance for our parents and carers, we sang the Unst boat song and     Ronas Voe. Then we invited our parents and carers to see our work. We painted herring and mackerel too. We made our door into the novel ‘A stranger came ashore’.
