P6/7 have started their latest project on the Shetland clearances and are reading “Shadowed Valley” by John J. Graham. This novel follows the Hunter family during the Weisdale clearances in the 19th century. P6/7 will be keeping a diary of 14 year old Hakki Hunter’s thoughts and feelings throughout the novel. We hope to be posting some diary entries onto our weblog so you can chart Hakki’s progress as well and let us know what you think of our work.
An appeal to P6/7 parents for any family tree information and for any artifacts to do with Shetland crofting or fishing proved a great success and information is still coming in.
The class also had a visit from Elma Johnson last week who came in to share with us her knowledge of the Shetland clearances and told us a story or two.
