Mrs Sjoberg and her Roald Dahl Book club went in search of Mr Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory last week during Wider Achievement Time. They had no luck in their search but were very fortunate to come across  Sound’s own Mr and Mrs Wonka in the Sound Service Station. Jordan and Gemma spoke to our group about working in retail, particularly selling sweets to our local community. Our group left inspired after a very informative question and answer session in the shop.

Thanks very much to all the staff at the Sound Service Station.

We were very lucky to have a visit from the Theatre in Schools Scotland tour. They performed My Friend Selma which tells the remarkable real life story of one gorl’s journey from war in Bosnia to safety in the UK. It is the tale of an incredible journey, a world turned upside down, loss, friendship, courage and conkers. We all really enjoyed it.

Well done to our Eco Club who have been busy at our local beach- the Sands of Sound. They carried out a 2 minute beach clean and were sad to find so much plastic.
Please bring a bag to the beach when you go next and carry out your own 2 minute beach clean.

                                                  

During their Wider Achievement time Mrs Grant’s group painted Rocks and hid them around Sound.
Look out for them if you’re out and about in our local community.

Dynamic Earth visited us with their Operation Earth show. Earthy was feeling a little under the weather and had to go to the doctor for check ups. We discovered what we could do to help Earthy feel better. Recycle, avoid putting plastic into the Seas and Oceans as well as cycling and walking to school.

Primary 7a were lucky enough to enjoy a fantastic day of canoeing and coasteering at Cunningsburgh. Pete Richardson challenged the class to try new things and experience nature in the wild. Pupils even spotted neesicks playing not far from the shore. It was an excellent day of teamwork and challenge, which pupils thoroughly enjoyed.

Mr Webster’s last day as lollipop man was marked today with a floss-a-thon. We wish him, Mrs Webster and Mrs Moar all the best for their retirement.

Primary 7 have had a busy last week at Sound. They started the week at the football and netball tournament. Netballers came second overall and our footballers made it to the quarter finals.

Later in the week they had their leavers assembly where their parents were treated to drumming, singing and poems.

Good luck at the AHS and we’ll miss you all.

Ms Morris’ group went geocaching around Sound. They had a great time and found lots of goodies. They also made their own geocache and have hidden it around Sound. Look out for it in the holidays if you plan to geocache.
