P5B 2023-24

Tuesday 30^th January 2024 was a special day at Sound Primary School as we were visited by both the Junior and Senior Jarl Squads of 2024.

The Junior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl Skeppare Nokkvesson (aka Oran McCulloch), were in fine voice during their time with us, supported by a group of young local musicians who did a brilliant job. ‘Yes Sir, I can Boogie’ was definitely a highlight! The clip below shows all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song.

The Senior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl King Harald Olafsson (aka Richard Moar) were also pretty spectacular both in sight and sound. A fantastic line up of local musicians provided the music for the Up Helly Aa song and also their squad song which made us all want to get up and dance! Here is a clip of all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song. The Jarl commented how loud and enthusiastic our singing was. High praise indeed from a ‘King’!

We had a brilliant day  on UHA day.  We very much enjoyed the visits from the Senior Guizer Jarl squad and the Junior Guizer Jarl squad.  They were in full voice and their outfits were great!

It was super seeing Oran McCulloch (Junior Guizer Jarl and ex Sound Primary student) and our very own Mattie in the Senior  Guizer Jarl squad.  They looked like they were having the time of  their lives!

For the first few weeks of this term we are doing dance in PE.  We are following a scheme of work that makes us think about how we move, direction, cooperation, communication, creativity and many more of our Significant Aspects of Learning.

One of our first tasks was with a partner.  Together we had to come up with a 4 part sequence which ended in clapping hands together.  We had to decide each part and then think about how we were going to do it, like position with each other, timing and direction.  After everyone had completed the task we watched all the pairs, looking to see if they had completed the task correctly and looking for interesting ideas.

Here are a few of our groups demonstrating their sequence.

Good morning Primary 5!
