We made it into school for half a day last week and used the time wisely! Some snow art, problem solving lifting giant snowballs, some design technology making snow bricks to build with, furniture making, team work, having fun and much more.

Today we had a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre with a presentation on the digestive system (they were impressed by how much the kids knew). This included MrJohnston having to catch the ‘poo’! After that there was time to try out a variety of interactive exhibits to learn more about the body.

A great day out with more sunshine (and snacks!) and a visit to the beach at Sumburgh.

Today we went to Happyhansel to the Bud poppy van to hear how poppy Scotland support our services veterans.

Good visit today – we saw how much can be grown here in Sandness. We even planted some lettuce of our own to take home and tend.

A lovely day for a hike up Sandness Hill to get a view of our community. Along the way there was much harvesting of heather berries (and wet feet). Still, a good time was had by all and we could see all  the places we have visited and have yet to visit: Huxter to Bousta with Papa Stour to the north and our school right in the centre.
