P4-7 have been taking part in Wider Achievement workshops. Friday afternoons are spent developing practical skills around the school to support the development of our young workforce. We have a local artist working with a group line drawing, Shetland Senior Football coaches and players with a group of enthusiastic young footballers, Joy Duncan delivering African drumming sessions, Science teachers from the AHS working on chemical reactions, Mr Rose and his flying workshop, geocaching, photography, journalism club and gardening. Super fun on Fridays!

Primary 7b were recently given the opportunity to learn more about STEM subjects and the careers that they can lead to. We were given the opportunity to program robots to do all kinds of cool things. We learned how to make it move backwards and forwards, lift it’s arm up and down, use a sensor and to do cool displays and make sounds. Robots are able to do many jobs that are too dangerous for people, in the next few years robot use is going to become more and more common so it was great to get the chance to program one!

Primary 7b recently enjoyed a fantastic outdoor journey in Kergord Woods. Our spirits were not dampened, despite it being quite a wet day!

We were given oportunites to explore, climb and build dens before settling to a cosy lunch in front of a fire.

It was a fantastic day that none of us are likely to forget in a hurry!

Well done to all our performers at the music Festival.

Primary 1 had a super trip to the street to see the Jarl Squad march in ower on Up Helly Aa day. They also managed to see the window display they made for Harry’s shop window. Thanks to all our parent helpers who came too.

P3 visited the Galley Shed before Up Helly Aa for a sneaky look at Jarl Thorvaldsen’s Galley.

We raised £300 for Save the Children by wearing our Christmas jumpers this year.
