Shetland Youth Music Festival
On Tuesday, P4-7 travelled to Mareel to perform their two songs on stage in front of an audience. They did a superb job, singing wonderfully. They really did themselves proud. They also got a chance to watch the other entries. A brilliant experience. Well done to P4-7!
Buddying
This week, P4-7 have buddied up with the pre-school children to start with transitions. The P5s have been paired with a nursery child and will spend time on Wednesday mornings, having a short play. Childsmile have also been in to teach the children how to manage younger children’s teeth brushing.
Dynamic Earth Planetarium
We had a visit from Dynamic Earth and they brought a planetarium. P4-7 and the nursery went inside the planetarium dome together. When it got really dark in there, we were shown the different planets and we had a trip through our solar system, our galaxy and the universe. We all really enjoyed it.
Table Tennis
Active Schools organised some Table Tennis taster sessions for us. Joan Smith led the session and P4-7 showed some real skills! Joan and Chris are back next Monday, too!
