Pumpkin Carving
On Monday the class had fun in their new Home Teams designing and creating pumpkins. They had to work cooperatively together, ensuring everyone was involved in a safe manner. They came up with some fantastic spooky designs!
Mrs Colclough had the difficult task of choosing the winner and chose Jeff by Bobby, OisÃn, Fin and Jayden for his original design!
We then thought carefully about the steps involved to write detailed instructions.

P6/7 trip to the Viking Windfarm
On the 3rd of October our class went of the bus to the Viking windfarm. We went with our teacher Mrs Lawson and Mrs Leask. Once we arrived, we went into a building with a big tv screen and sat down in a row of chairs. We had a quick safety briefing and then, we We then went up a hill while he talked about the wind farm. We went past some of the bases which the wind turbines will go on to. At the end we got to see one of the bases before it got covered with concrete. After that we got to do a quiz that Jayden and Edith won.

Coffee Morning!
Today was the first coffee morning we’ve had in a very long time. Families and friends gathered together for fancies, tea, coffee and juice afterwards they came to see our classroom and what we’ve been doing. They got to see all of our work that we’ve done. Then there was activities to do with friends or family. All the classes took turns to get fancies with their families and friends. Everyone really enjoyed the day and would do it again!

Baking for Coffee Morning
At Whiteness Primary School the P6/7 class baked delicious treats for the coffee morning on Tuesday afternoon. We baked scones, Vegan and Gluten free Chocolate cupcakes and pancakes. We split up into groups of our own choice and we enjoyed kneading the dough for the scones, mixing all the cupcake ingredients and especially frying the pancakes. Everybody helped clean the classroom afterwards and some people went the staff room to wash the bowls pans etc. We all were looking forwards for our families and friends to enjoy the sweet treats on Wednesday!

Mini Redd up
On the 27th of September p6/7 went on a mini Redd up down the Strom road. We found 2 bags of rubbish and we even found a water gun, it looked like it was there for a while because it was so dirty. Rhys even found a can of beer! Our class teacher Mrs. Lawson, the headteacher Mrs. Colclough and Mrs. Leask were there too! When we turned around we got to run up on the hill. It was really fun! We climbed into some old ruins, they has a great view over the road and the voe. A lot of us fell over because we were running and it was very slippy. The teachers on the road looked tiny because we were so high up! It felt good to do good things for the environment while it was Shetland climate week!

Visit to Shetland Jewellery
As part of our topic, ‘Me and Beyond’ today we went on a tour of the Shetland Jewellery workshop. It was really interesting to learn about the career of a jeweller and all the processes involved. Thank you for having us and for our kind gifts of enamel hearts/keyrings!
