PE peg game

This week we were at PE we played this game called the peg game. You had to clip two pegs to your T shirt. The aim of the game was to steal a peg from someone’s T shirt.

To start with every one was it and everyone  had two pegs. some people would team up and some would not and if you teamed up you would not go for the people on your teams peg when you steal the pegs you put them on you t shirt.

I would definitely play this game again it was really fun. Everyone was going for Miss Paterson it was really funny.

Our next steps are work in better teams so you can get the most pegs.

Climate Smarter Project

This term the children have been taking part in a STEM topic all about being Climate Smarter. They have  been learning about renewable energies through practical activities. This topic is being taught across several schools in Shetland and as part of the topic there is a learning event to be held at the Lerwick museum in May.

As part of the topic the children have to work in groups to design and plan an Eco school, which incorporates renewable energy and showcases their learning.

We are able to take one group to the learning event in May where a competition is to be held between the schools to see which school has come up with the best design.

We are therefore going to be holding an in school event, at the end of March, for the children to present their schools to a panel of judges so that we can select the team going to represent the class in Lerwick.

The children have selected their groups and are excited to be getting started on their models and presentations. I know that some of the children are eager to get together outside of school to add to their projects. They are more than welcome to do this but please be reassured that this is not compulsory and we have left enough time in class to work on these projects.

We wish all the children the best in the competition, happy building!!

Police Visit and Internet Safety

On Wednesday the police came to our school to teach us about drugs and anti social behavior. Anti social behavior is when some one does something that hurts some one  unintentionally or intentionally. We also learned that drugs can be in sweetie. We also got to hold the baton and we got to get handcuffed.

Internet safety day was on Tuesday we watched a video and we had to draw a poster. We learned  that AI stands for artificial intelligence. We also learned that AI is not always fact and we had to think about how to spot fake information. The posters had to be appropriate for the whole school

Mind Your Head Workshop

Last week pupils from Primary 6 and 7 had a visit for Mind Your Head.

They took part in a workshop to explain the importance of looking after our mental health in the same way that we look after our physical health. The children considered strategies that they could use if they need to support their wellness. They were also given information on how to create a self-care box.

Spreading kindness was a key message and the children were asked to think about acts that would help them to spread kindness. One way to do this was to nominate someone to receive a feel good bag. This can be done by using the link below.

Yesterday we did our first session of dancing at the leisure centre. We did traditional wedding dances like the grand old duke of York and Bridal march. Alyshia and Zak were the Bride and Groom, Morgan, Lola and Bella were bridesmaids and Hunter, Henry and Sandy  were the best men. Alyshia’s parents were Annie and John James. Zak’s parents were Lily and Danny. We are going to be doing dancing weekly on Thursdays.

During our lessons we learned the Boston Two Step, the Bridal March, Dashing White Sergeant and Strip the Willow. We had a Christmas party up at the leisure centre. All of the classes from primary came up and all of the primary sevens had to dance with younger ones so that we could help them. We also did some party games which were really fun.

Thank you parent council for letting this happen and thank you Maria for teaching us to dance.
