P4A have been learning about shapes in class. We have looked at 2D shapes and 3D objects.

We made shapes using construction materials and toys in the school.

We labelled the vertices and edges. We could not label the faces as there was nowhere to selloptape on the label!

We made 2D shapes and labelled the sides, corners and the shape.

We had lots of fun making 2D shapes and 3D objects with our friends.

Primary 7 have organised various events over the past two days to raise money for Children in Need. Lots of fun was had! We eagerly await the total.

P7 recently had the opportunity to visit the Lerwick Methodist Kirk to experience remembrance.

We learned about personal and global conflict and thought about ways to deal with conflict in our lives.

We heard stories of local people who fought in both world wars and learned more about what it means to remember.

We also took time to visit the local war memorial to find the names of some of the men who fought and died during WW1 and WW2.

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.
