P2/3 and P3/4 had a hugely entertaining and interactive learning session with famous author Shoo Rayner today.  This was part of National Book Week activities happening all over Scotland.  Shoo is the author of the Viking Vik books, particularly popular here in Shetland! Shoo also penned the Ricky Rocket series with hilarious tales of Ricky’s adventures in space.

The pupils were delighted with Shoo’s storytelling and artistic skills. They listened with giggles and smiles to Shoo reading about Ricky’s first time learning to fly his rocket without stabilisers!  Then with Shoo’s step by step guidance, the pupils all drew their own version of Ricky Rocket.

Thank you to our parent helpers today, Kim and Ian for lending a hand.  Also a massive thank you to librarians Marghie and Zuzanna for organising this treat and of course to Shoo himself.  A super morning of learning.
