A visit from the Fire Engine!

This afternoon, the fire engine from Scalloway came to visit the school. It was a white fire engine…which surprised us all!

We got to go inside the fire engine and press all the buttons to make the sirens work, as well as have a go of the water hose, if we wanted to.

 

Maisie says:

“It was very loud. I thought it was very cool.”

 

David says:

“I learned that they [the firefighters] have been in fires up to 600 degrees.”

 

Ryan says:

“I learned that the seat-belts in the back of a fire engine are like backpacks.”

Another busy week!

Well….what a busy week we’ve had. Here’s an overview of our week:

Numeracy:

We’ve been working on a few different things this week. Some of us have been developing our confidence in working with amounts of money and giving change. We have created games to practise these skills and we have been playing each other’s games too!

Some of us have been learning about percentages this week. We have been learning about the link between percentage and fractions and using what we have learned to calculate percentage discounts from amounts of money. We’re really getting the hang of it!

Topic:

This week, we have decided upon our final products for our enterprise project. Miss Saunders has asked us to incorporate a recycled element to our product….which made us think! We have been sourcing products to get an idea of how much money we will need. Next week, we will be creating business plans and pitching these to potential investors!

School Show:

On Wednesday, we had our first rehearsal of the show in the hall. It is coming together and we are having really good fun with it.

Trip:

On Tuesday, we went to Mareel to an ‘Into Film’ event. We had a reading of Fantastic Mr Fox in Shetland dialect, then watched the film. It was great and we really enjoyed the experience.

We’ve had a fantastic week!

Fantastic Mr Todd

If your wondering what Todd is and it means fox in Shetland dialect. We went to mareel to hear someone to read fantastic Mr fox in Shetland dialect but only the first 3 chapters. then we watched the film I thought the film is a bit too long
