Climate Smarter – Shetland Final
May saw our class finalists attend the Shetland Climate Smarter Event at the Shetland Museum.
On arrival Alyshia, Annie, Bella, Lola and Morgan set up their entry ahead of their presentation. They then delivered their presentation about their learning and school model to the judges.
Following the presentation their thoughts about the event and STEM learning were captured by BBC Shetland.
The girls, then had the opportunity to take part in a variety of STEM challenges, all of which were scored. The judges were looking at how well they completed the tasks but more importantly for the team work that was displayed.
They were lucky enough to receive a runner up prize of £50 which we have used to buy STEM games for the class.
All of the children have worked really hard on this topic and as a result they have received their Level 2 Young Stem Leader Award. I would like to say a huge well done to all the children for their hard work.
John Muir
On Thursday 18th of April P7 had John Muir we went to kergord and Pete and Grant was our helpers. Kergord is a very big woodland there are lots of trees and old bases made of sticks. First we were put in pairs and then we had to walk up to an old stone house. Then we had to go back down by our selves. After that we played follow the leader up the burn. Once we were all up the burn we had our snack. After that we built our bases out of sticks and branches we found on the ground. We were in boy and girl teams. Once we had finished building our bases then we had our dinner in the old house. Pete made a roof for the old house for shelter. After that we looked at both the boys base and the girls base to see which one was better. At the end we didn’t have much time so we just played the worlds best game. It was really fun and we have another John Muir in June.
