Planting Trees

We had a great morning planting trees with support from the Rural Skills class and SAT’s Woodlands Team. This was part of a local tree planting initiative that is run in partnership with @woodlandtrustscotland Free Tree Packs for schools.

400 native trees were planted at the school. These will eventually provide some shelter on the field.

The trees were locally grown from Shetland collected seed ready for Shetland conditions. The Woodlands team explained how trees helped biodiversity, wildlife and climate resilience.

We had hands on learning outdoors. Learning new skills and concentrating on teamwork!

Term 4 PE – Week 1-4

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.

Art

In Art p6 have been doing some observational drawing.

We have had to try to use our eyes to look closely at the shapes, patterns and details of daffodils sitting in front of us.

We then blended colours using oil pastels to create a realistic effect.

Excellent “Looking” p6!

Literacy Week

We had a lot of fun activities for Literacy Week.

ERIC TIME

Every day that week the bell would go and that was a signal for everyone to get their library book and enjoy some time reading time. Nothing is better than having some time with your favourite book!

BOOK FAIR

Mrs Williamson organised a book fair in the library. We got a chance to look at some lovely books, then we could buy them.

DOOR DISPLAY

In Term 1 we read the book Wonder. We decided to use that as the theme for decorating our door.

READING BUDDIES

We went down to P2/3 and shared out favourite books with them. They were excellent listeners and we enjoyed sharing our books.

Term 3 PE Update

This week we begin our third four‑week block of PE. So far this term, the class has enjoyed learning dance and handball, and we wanted to share what we’ve been working on.

Dance

In our dance block, pupils explored how to use movement to express ideas. We focused on:

Using imagination and responding to different stimuli
Travelling, stillness, shapes, jumps and gestures
Changing rhythm, speed, level and direction
Repeating patterns in movement
Showing expression and confidence

The children had great fun experimenting with creative movement and performing short sequences.

Handball

During handball, we concentrated on building throwing and catching skills and taking part in small‑sided games. Pupils learned some of the key rules of the sport:

Players have 3 seconds to pass or shoot
Players may take 3 steps only while holding the ball

We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.

Shetland Dance

Primary 7 organised a lovely event for senior wing pupils on Up-Helly-Aa day. They asked our class and Primary 5 to join them for a dance. We have been doing Shetland dance in our teacher led time so it was great to have the opportunity to dance with other pupils. We all headed to the gym hall and did some Shetland dancing. Primary 7 partnered up with anyone who needed help with the dancing. They also showed us how to do each dance. It was great fun and a lovely atmosphere! Thank you very much Primary 7!
