We had a super day today at the museum. Sarah showed us around and spoke to us about fossils, Vikings, crofting, boats, treasure, artefacts and much more. The pupils had lots of amazing questions for her and enjoyed looking around at all the exhibits.

We had snack then were lucky enough to be invited in to the auditorium by the organisers of the Shetland Nature Festival. There were lots of science based activities on the go and we spent time finding out about earthquakes. We got to jump up and down to see if we could make the machine move. We got print outs of our efforts. It was really informative and the children did really well.

After that it was scarecrow making time. The pupils learned about what we use scarecrows for and why they are important for looking after our crops. We will finish these back in class tomorrow.

Once we got cleared up it was lunch time, it was lots of fun too having all the p1 pupils together. They were very hungry and excited about their packed lunches.

The walk to the play park was quick as they were all so excited about getting there. There was running, skipping, climbing, jumping, sliding, swinging, twisting and lots more.  We have certainly done our daily mile today.

Thanks to the lovely ladies at the Museum and to our helpers on the trip. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable day.
