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

Sound Swifts netball team did very well to come 2nd in the School’s Netball tournament. The final was between Lunnasting Primary School and Sound Swifts. The Swifts played an very good game and came in 2nd overall to receive a silver medal. Well done Sound Swifts!

Back in May 2025 pupils from P5-7 worked with the ‘A Place In Childhood Team’ and members of the SIC Development Plans & Heritage Dept on an experiential mapping session.

During this day, pupils co-created:

• An experiential map highlighting their views and experiences of their local place including:
  • Planning a local tour
  • Co-creating a final map and set of priorities for action through photography, in-depth discussions, and creative exercises.

The final stage of the plan culminated in a half-day Showcase event where pupil representatives presented their ideas directly to local stakeholders.

Mrs Birrell accompanied our representatives to Islesburgh last week, where they did a fantastic job of sharing their ideas for change in their local community!

Welcome back to a slightly delayed term 3 due to weather conditions. We hope that everyone had a restful festive break.

We are looking forward to an exciting term 3 and our values for this term are Determination and Respect.

The pupils at Sound certainly know how to party! Over 140 pupils enjoyed the P1-3 and P4-7 discos on the 4th of December. The photo booth really helped to capture some of the fun.

Primary 3 are hoping to spread a little happiness this year by taking part in the Shoebox Appeal 2025. Please have a look at their video about how you can be involved. Thank you 🙂

Steve Birrell Photography was in school lately to take a whole school photo, what luck we had a beautiful day!

Please find below a link to our 2025 House Captains video, where they share information about our school improvement priorities for the year. Further video updates will be shared during the year.

Thank you for watching!

Hello and welcome everyone to session 2025-2026 at Sound School and Nursery.
