This year we have 6 great Young Ambassadors whose role is to promote sport, and motivate and inspire other young people to get involved in sport in our school, clubs and the local community. They will be organising different sports competitions throughout the next year, these will include Interhouse’s, Pupils vs Teachers, and extra curricular clubs. If you have any suggestions on ways to help improve sport within our school/community please let them know!

On Monday our S2/3 team travelled out to Brae to compete in a S3 Netball tournament for all schools in Shetland. The girls came up against strong teams from AHS, Aith and Brae. They did really well in each game, working well together and kept going to the final whistle. The girls should be very proud of their performance on Monday.

For our first block this term we have been focusing on Basketball with P3-S3 and looking more at balancing and how we move our bodies with P1-2. Every class has progressed on very well, all showing great attitudes towards learning in PE and displaying great teamwork with their peers. To help celebrate all the hard work pupils are doing in PE I have awarded Pupil of the Block’s for each class, this highlights the great attitudes and enthusiasm pupils turn up to PE with, along with putting in amazing efforts lesson after lesson. This was a hard decision as there were so many pupils deserving of awards but the following pupils have been awarded for our first block as they have been great role models for other pupils in the class. Well done everyone, keep up the great work 🙂

This term the S1 class have been looking at Meta Skills in Social Education. They have been taking part in numerous activities which allowed them to develop their meta skills, including designing and making their own paper aeroplanes, building a tower out of the class’s shoes, human knots, and this week—building a tower with spaghetti and marshmallows!
Pupils were given a budget of £100 to buy supplies with. They had to wisely spend their money on materials to help them build a tall tower, and one that could survive an earthquake. The pupils used lots of meta skills such and collaboration, communication, adapting, focusing and problem-solving. Some towers worked better than others, but I think the highlight for everyone was eating the marshmallows at the end!

It was lovely to see so many pupils and staff in their fair isle garments today to celebrate Fair Isle Friday as part of Wool Week.
On Friday mornings we start the day with play in Primary and this morning we had a few wool themed activities set out. We’re already thinking ahead to next year to celebrate the whole week!!

This term for Wider Achievement, the Culture Club have been practicing various skills such as knitting, crochet and weaving! Thank you to the teachers and volunteers who have helped the pupils with their knitting and weaving each week.
It has been brilliant to see how much they have learned this term and how they all work together to help each other.
Great work everyone!

As part of our STEM Wider Achievement this week we headed up to the Science Room at the Secondary to explore denisity.
The children worked in small groups to investigate the density of different liquids, making predictions about what they thought would happen whilst always thinking about safety.
It was super to see the Secondary pupils take the lead and support the younger pupils in their learning. Giving everyone the opportunity to develop different Meta-Skills and explore the world of STEM.
Another super Friday afternoon!

We are delighted to announce our new Primary Team Captains for the year!
Primary 7 pupils threw themselves into the election process with incredible energy. Alongside writing and delivering inspiring speeches to the classes, they also designed posters to showcase their ideas and values. This was an idea from the previous P7 class who met with Miss Irvine and Mrs Irvine to reflect on their time in the primary and suggest ways to improve school life. The creativity, leadership and presentation skills demonstrated by all P7 pupils was very impressive. A huge well done to everyone who put themselves forward!
