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.

This year we are doing a P1-7 sports day. We are continuing to do the same format for each P1-3 and P4-7, but they will run along side each other. Here is a map of the track with the stations marked on it and the order the classes are moving.
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!
Primary 1,2 and 3B were fortunate to have a visit from local Author and Fiddle Player Jenna Reid. She read us her book ‘Telescope, Telescope’ and spoke about her favourite memories of a childhood growing up in Shetland. Pupils really enjoyed her story and liked asking questions about being an author, making a book and her fiddle playing. We even got to tap along a beat as she played for us. This visit is part of our school focus on promoting a passion for reading and our Reading Accreditation Award through the Scottish book trust. We thank Jenna for her time and for her generous donation of 3 books for our nursery and P1-2 pupils.
