Syrian Bake Sale

P7 had a bake sale for the Syrian Refugees. They were really concerned and wanted to help. Emma even phoned the Shetland Times to see if they would come and take pictures, but they didn’t put them in the newspaper *sad face.*

They raised a grand total of £352 and are very proud to say so. They put the money to Unicef.

 

 

Buddying

P7 and P6 have been doing buddying, buddying is where either the P6’s or P7’s pair up with the P1’s or P2’s this year the P7’s were paired up the the P2’s and the P6’s were paired up with the P1’s. With buddies we do things like, gym, crown creating, junk modeling, playing, reading etc. I think buddying is a great asset to the school and its just fun and enjoyable.

Eco Club – Waste Week

Last week was EDF Energy’s ‘Waste Week’.  Sound School joined in and we had great fun.  The theme of waste week was ‘biodiversity’ which is when the humans, animals,  plants, trees and even minibeasts come together to help make the world go round.  Biodiversity controls the temperature of Earth, the weather and how we grow food.

Primary 2 & Primary 5 learned that things like climate change can be bad for biodiversity.  We must replace trees and flowers we cut down; buy local produce to reduce pollution and most importantly reduce, reuse and recycle.

Here is a picture of primary 4’s collecting the plastic from the classrooms ‘feed me plastic’ boxes.  At Sound we are doing very well at recycling plastic in the big bins at the Fish Box.  W

e also reuse plastic yogurt tubs for paint and are starting to use milk jugs to make a ‘bottle garden’.

The Eco Club told a story to the Nursery and the Primary1’s called ‘Litter Red Riding Hood’.  Litter Red Riding Hood doesn’t know how bad it is to litter until the Wolf tells her.  We learned that animals can get very seriously hurt and even die from eating or being caught in our litter.

Primary 1 made a giant hedgehog with the Eco Club using recyclable materials like cereal boxes, Pringles tubes and egg boxes.  We hope that when people see our hedgehog they realise that littering is not acceptable.  The Nursery joined in too, making birds using junk modelling.

Thanks to everyone for joining in and remember:

REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE

Christmas at Sound

All our classes have been busy getting ready for Christmas. We’ve had a lovely Christmas dinner in the canteen accompanied by Christmas songs and impromptu singing and dancing by some very excited Primary 7s. We wore our Christmas Jumpers on Friday 12 December for Christmas Jumper day and we raised a grand total of £231 for Save the Children. ThePrimary 1s and 2s sung beautifully in their Christmas Concert and Primary 3s were stars in their performance of  ‘Christmas with the Aliens’. P4, 5 and 6 have beenpreparing Carols for our School Carol Service and they’ve been busy with lots of craft activities including Hot Chocolate Reindeers and Snow Globes . P7’s time has been taken up with Panto rehearsals and the performance which was ‘awesome’ according to an over-excited audience member. They managed to raise £726.44 to go towards the cost of their trip to Edinburgh in May.

 

We even had a visit fromSanta and his Elves!
