S1 have been busy learning about the importance of hygiene and safety in the kitchen and about storing food safely. Their homework was to achieve their washing up license and in class they have been helping to untangle and hang up the washing !
This term they made breakfast rolls in the air fryer and enjoyed eating them in class and last week they made apple crumbles to take home.
Have a look at the Home Economics page for information and how you can help at home.
Congratulations to the pupils who received Saltire Awards at Mareel last week for their volunteering efforts. Their dedicated work supporting Ability Shetland at the Whalsay Youth Club has earned them impressive 50 and 100-hour milestones. Well done for your valuable contribution to the community.
Junk Kouture is an International Sustainable Fashion Competition using 100% recycled materials to create a design for the catwalk.
We are learning new skills, experimenting with different materials, being creative and working in teams. Pupils are designing outfits based on the fishing and seas around Whalsay. One pupil is basing her design on the Shetland Salmon Farming and another is designing and creating a dress based on pollution in our seas that affect our island. Last year the pupils had a Team meeting with one of the Junk Kouture staff and she gave them great tips and advice, she was very enthusiastic about their ideas.
“I’m am really enjoying taking part of Junk Kouture. I am learning new skills and getting to show off my creativity with my designs.”

We are needing specific recycled materials and would appreciate any help: Fashion Magazines, plastic bottle tops and metal caps, ring-pulls.
Thank you!
