The primary 7 classes did a great job organising lots of fun activities to help raise money for Children in Need. This included a Burpee Challenge!

Thank you, P7’s!

We have been talking about the importance of Remembrance and created these beautiful Poppy pictures.

Jennifer Thomson from Active Schools has been in school training our class how to be Play Leaders.

Play Leaders are a group of caring children who have been trained to organise activities for other children in the playground.

We have been learning about PACE:

P – is for people: who will be playing and how can we organise them into fair teams?

A – is for area or space; where will we be playing?

C – is for communication: the importance of explaining rules clearly .

E – is for equipment. What, if any, equipment do we need to play?

I would say we have some great play leaders in training!

We were treated to a performance by the Shetland Youth Orchestra last week in the Sound Hall. The orchestra is made up of children from all over Shetland including both primary and secondary, and their musical talents are amazing!

We were introduced to all the different instrument families including brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. We listened to a mixture of music including classical, swing and even a theme tune or too. We particularly liked the Wallace and Grommit theme tune which they played as we were leaving the hall.

What a very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon!

P6 are learning about What Makes Us Human.  As part of this topic, we drew the human skeleton with chalk in the playground and labelled the bones correctly.
