Questions about Shetland

Primary 1 in Bridge of Weir Primary School (just outside Glasgow) wanted to find out about Shetland as their topic this term is “Katie Morag”.

They have asked us lots of questions about what it is like to live on an island. We sent them pictures of our replies so they can see our class. Here are some of our replies:

How many pupils are in your class?

Our visit from the Scalloway Fire Festival

Today we had a visit from the Scalloway Fire Festival’s Jarl Squad.

Two people from our school were in it and their big sister as well. Erin from our class and Danny from P345. Erin said there was about 50 people in the Jarl Squad so it was quite claustrophobic in the hall.

The men/boys wore a black tunic a shield and an axe. The men also wore a reindeer skin and the boys wore a blue sheep skin. The girls wore a blue dress and a grayish cloak and four of them held a banner saying “Scalloway Fire Festival” .
