P7 Trip to Bridge End

Last week the Primary 7 children had an activity packed overnight trip out of the Isle and even the rain couldn’t dampen their spirits.

We first headed to the Gilbertson Hall for some extreme Frisbee and Dodgeball, delivered by active schools, after the golf was rained off.

The rain forced us indoors so we had an impromptu visit to the museum before heading to the Clickimin for swimming.

After working up an appetite we headed for some food at the Chinese where it was great to spend time chatting over dinner.

We travelled to Bridge End and got the chance to get settled in and it was finally dry so we could get outside to stretch our legs.

In the evening we were able to visit with Joy and enjoying an African Drumming session.

The next day we went for a visit to the Outpost, where we were lucky enough to meet all the animals and feed them. David spoke to us about all the animals and was a great host with many of the children saying that this part of their trip was the best part. We particularly loved the dancing emus, Kylie and Jason!

 

Music Afternoon

On Wednesday we had a music afternoon organised by the Primary 6 pupils. P5/6 played first. They played ‘The best day of my life’ by American authors on the ukulele. 

We then heard from the piano and fiddle students. As they showcased what they had learned in their lessons.

Finally our class (P6/7) played ‘Island’ by Peat and diesel. We had lots of instruments like the ukuleles, drums, fiddles, accordion, piano, glockenspiel , xylophone and base guitar.

Shetland Youth Music Festival 2024

On Monday Primary 6/7 travelled to Lerwick to take part in the Shetland Youth Music Festival.

The children have been preparing two pieces for performance, ‘Patrick’s Reel’ and ‘ Ye Banks and Braes’. The children gave a confident performance and if they were nervous it didn’t show.

Use the link below to see their performance.

Our fiddle players were up next with a group performance of ‘Gunners March’ and ‘Mam Tamar’s Hymn’. A snippet of which can be viewed using the links below.

The piano players were then able to perform their pieces to their judges in the afternoon.

In the afternoon the children got the opportunity to take part in various workshops, such as drumming, scandi fiddle, and electric drums.

The children had a fantastic time and were a credit to the school.

Well done boys and girls.
