Thursday 24th June

We are almost at the end of Class One and looking forward to the summer holidays. We decided to finish our project on 'Castles' by having a banquet. Each person designed and made a crown or helmet. We had different foods to eat, including bread rolls which we made ourselves. After our meal we tried to juggle. It was a bit tricky but we had lots of fun!

My Island Home songs

Here is another chance to listen to the songs we sang at assembly. We hope you enjoy watching them as much as we did performing them.

Primary 1 perform songs from their 'My Island Home' assembly.

Friday 11th June

Do you like our new outdoor suits? We were really lucky to get waterproof coats and breeks to wear when we go outside to learn. Mrs Rendall tested them with the garden hose! We all screamed at her to stop.

What has been happening in Sans Souci?

The school in Sans Souci has had visitors from the United States.

They camped in the school grounds which the school has been trying to improve - just like us!

They are planning to make a mural and have started by getting a wall ready for the picture by painting it with a primer.

They have planted a garden - just like us!

Do you think they will grow the same kind of plants as us?

They also have litter wardens who take responsibility for looking after the school grounds and reminding everyone to put their litter in the right place.

Do you think that is a good idea? Perhaps we could think about doing that.

Tommy and Sally the sea turtles with visitors to the school.

Thursday 27th May

On Monday we went to the Bishop's and Earl's Palace in Kirkwall. We looked around all the rooms and found a well which is as old as the Cathedral. We counted lots of fireplaces, some were so big we could hide in them. When we came back to the school we decided to make own own display of a castle with all the furniture inside.

Wednesday 26th May

Last Wednesday we had MADD in our school hall. There were lots of different activities to do about the environment. We looked at books, created our own pictures from natural materials and made birds nests. Everyone was very busy.
