Flotta School

Who is the mysterious visitor?

Well Stormforce our P5s have raised more money for the Longhope lifeboat. We had a great day and the ladies from Longhope RNLI came over and had a great Christmas shop. Loads of people turned out and made it a fantastic day and then we got to go on the lifeboat!!!

The secretary raised £197.60 for McMillan Cancer Relief. We served coffees and teas and some lovely home bakes. It was a good turn out.

Our play park is a disgrace. We have more children and young people here than ever and now we have no safe things in our park. Not even one swing left. This is still the park that was put in in the seventies. We have been trying to raise money but we are such a small place and a lot of people don't seem to think that its important that we kids have somewhere safe to play.

Yee haaa - and the wind turbine is up and twirling - 250 revolutions per minute. We went out to witess this historic point in the life of the school.

The construction of the wind turbine has started up again - yeh!!

Work has started on getting the wind turbine in. We will be only the second school in the Northern Isles with its own wind turbine. We will keep you posted as work progresses.

We had a great day out at Burray beach on Monday. The weather was pretty good. The whole school went out. We even found pirate treasure.

Liam McArthur came on a visit to our school . He goes to Edinburgh to be in the Scottish Parliament.He presented us with a certificate on what we did on The Detective Kit from the Commisioner for Children and Young People. What we have been doing for a little bit .

We raised a £ 150.35 at the coffee morning . We did it for two and a half hours we did raise more than I expected. We are putting the money to the Longhope Lifeboat . We had a good day too and raised a load of money .
