Flu Spray – Story
The School Nursing Service and Education Outreach Service have created a story for pupils who may need to prepare in advance of getting their Flu Spray at school. The links below will take you to the full and shortened versions.
Drumming and dancing with Joy
Over the past few weeks Joy Duncan has been coming to school with her drums for Nursery, P1 and P2 to learn some drumming and rhythm skills. On Thursday afternoon we came together to celebrate and share the learning with our friends.
P2A sharing with their friends the warm up that they have learned with Joy.
P2B showing off their drumming skills.
P1B sharing their learning and fun that they have had over the past 6 weeks.
P1A did an excellent job of the name repetition game.
Nursery showing everyone how to dance and move.
After all of the classes had shared then we had the chance to dance to the beat. Some children chose to share their moves for others to copy.
It was a great afternoon of sharing learning and having fun with Joy.

Sound Primary School Curriculum Week – Maths
Our first curriculum week of session 2024/25 starts on 23/09 and will focus on Maths in line with Maths Week Scotland. Curriculum weeks allow the whole school to focus on an aspect of the curriculum and share our learning.
From Nursery to Primary 7, learners will participate in additional numeracy and maths activities that support engagement through outdoor learning, make links to other curricular areas and to the world of work through STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Maths displays in the canteen will share learning from curriculum week. Some classes may also choose to take part in national online challenges such as Times Tables Rock Stars.
Number Notion packs will go home on Monday with all P2-7 learners. The packs include activities and a learning grid to support family learning as well as the consolidation and development of Maths/Numeracy knowledge and skills. Please make sure that your child/children take their Number Notion packs back to school on Friday 27th September. Primary one learners will take home paper copies of Maths/Numeracy Family Learning grids for use at home throughout our curriculum week. Please take the time to engage with your child/children in these activities.
The Maths Week Scotland website includes lots of resources for use at home as well as school – see link below.

In addition to this, professional learning for teachers will focus on Numeracy and Maths. Miss Rebecca Simpson, P6 teacher, is leading a twilight session on the Effective Use of Questioning to support assessment in Numeracy and Mathematics.
Enjoy our curriculum week in line with Maths Week Scotland everyone!
Child Flu Vaccine
Child flu vaccine: help beat flu with a wee scoosh
Given as a nasal (nose) spray, the flu vaccine is quick, easy and painless. All it takes is a wee scoosh up the nose.
Please remember to complete, sign and return your child’s consent form, even if you don’t want your child to get vaccinated.
The vaccine is given once a year. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so a different vaccine has to be made every year to ensure the best protection against flu.

STEM Success
Congratulations to our STEM team who took home two prizes today at the YESC Shetland Regional Celebration of STEM. Our Primary 6 and 7 classes have been working exceedingly hard over the past year, on a variety of STEM projects, developing their Meta-skills along the way.
Today’s team showcased all of the exciting learning that has been happening in their classrooms. They won the STEM challenges section, displaying excellent teamwork, problem solving and communication skills. They also were the runner up Regional Science Club of the Year! Well done!
