Here are P2/3 performing the space song, Countdown.  Each pupil chose an instrument and a sound to perform in the song then everyone joined in at the end with HONKY PONKY!

P1/2 have been learning about high and low in music using the boomwhackers.  Here are some photos and videos of them in action.  Thank goodness Olivia was around to keep Mrs Inkster right!

Secondary pupils at Sandwick Junior High School have created this fantastic display in the school to show support and solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

The indpendance monument that they have recreated in their display was built in Kyiv (Ukraine) and was erected in 2001. The reason that the monument was built was to comemorate Ukraine becoming an independant nation.
The part of Ukraine that the monument is in is called Independance square near to the centre of Ukraine.

A massive well done to S1B who took part in a sumdog competition with other schools in Shetland. They finished 16th out of 35.

P5/6 and Mrs Inkster were vexed that SMUHA was cancelled again this yearso to cheer everyone up they have recorded a couple of versions of the Up Helly Aa song for you. We hope you like them!

Shetland Islands Council is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help Shetland Islands Council to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan
future improvements to local services. Parents will receive a letter providing more detailed information about the Census, and the opportunity to let us know if they do not wish for their child to take part.  For more information please visit: www.shetland.gov.uk/schools

A huge well done to the Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils who represented the school in the Active Schools Football League at Scalloway on Monday 7th March 2022.

They played three tough games against teams from Hamnavoe and Sound Primaries and although didn’t come away with a win they did themselves and their school proud with their spirit and determination. They were super ambassadors for the school.

We are looking forward to hosting the next fixture here in Sandwick after the holidays, when we welcome teams from Dunrossness, Hamnavoe and Scalloway.
