Sound School Photo 26/27

We had a whole school photo taken towards the end of last term, it was a lovely, sunny day – who can you spot in the crowd?!?! 🙂

Hello and welcome to Term 1 in session 2026 – 2027. It is great having everyone back in school and welcoming those who are starting Sound School this term.

Our values for this term are:

Happiness and Inclusion

Last year our P5-7 pupils participated in a poster competition to promote responsibility of dog owners picking up after their pooches! The competition winners worked with the SIC Environmental Health Department and Lerwick Community Council to produce a short video (link below).

Maybe you have seen some of the posters while you have been out walking in Lerwick!

Pupils from our Primary 6 class travelled to Brae yesterday to participate in the Shetland Schools Hockey Festival. Thankfully the weather was in their favor this year and everyone had a super time 🙂

Congratulations to our P7 STEM Group, who came runners up in the ‘Celebration of STEM’ Event at the Shetland Museum & Archives in April.  Schools from all across Shetland participated in the Event, which saw groups showcasing their projects and participating in a ‘Construct A Crane’ Challenge where teams received free kit to design and build a working model crane.

Our Footballers aren’t they only ones to have made it to the Finals of their league games. Our Sound Swifts Team played in the Final of the Schools Netball North League and played very well, placing 2nd overall in the North League – Well Done Sound Swifts!

Many thanks to all parents for their support and a special thanks to our netball coaches, Jennifer and Alina.

Well Done to our Sound 1 Football Team who played in the Schools South League Final on Monday night.  The top 2 teams from the 2 winter leagues met at Scalloway and Sound 1 played Aith, Tingwall, Baltasound and South Mainland. In a very closely fought last match, Sound 1 came away runners up after some great games of football.

A huge well done to all involved and parents for their support.

A special thanks to Tony for accompanying the Team to all their games this season, and to both our Sound School Parent Council and the Tesco Stronger Starts Grant Scheme for funding the purchase of new strips for both our Netball and Football Teams 🙂

Welcome back to Sound School for the final term of this session. It is always a busy term with lots of transition events for P7 and our new P1 and Nursery children taking place, along with events  like STEM week and Sports day.

Our values for this term are:

Happiness and Inclusion

P4 and Miss Stewart took part in the Shetland Youth Music Festival and sang 2 beautiful songs in the choir category. They received lovely feedback from the judge about the positive messages in their songs.

Here is a link to a video of them performing:  https://youtu.be/THCbOKAWmC0
