Over the weekend, Miss Mitchell baked homemade cinnamon swirls, which pupils warmed up themselves today while preparing hot chocolates topped with cream and marshmallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere, filled with enthusiastic reading. The bairns explored a range of fiction and non-fiction texts, as well as audiobooks, with many becoming fully absorbed in their books. A particular highlight of the session was Joni discovering his Uncle Peter\u2019s boat, Star of Hope, featured in the book Shetland Fishermen, creating a meaningful personal connection to the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bairns demonstrated excellent organisational and practical skills while preparing their drinks and heating the cinnamon swirls responsibly. Most importantly, the event provided a cosy and enjoyable opportunity for pupils to relax, read, and build positive associations with reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9.png 852w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9-268x300.png 268w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9-768x861.png 768w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-9-500x560.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10.png 781w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/unst.org\/web\/bjhs\/files\/2026\/06\/image-10-500x375.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, S1 and S2 enjoyed a Book Caf\u00e9 event in English.
