Ezmie and I visited Shetland Isles. I met the one of the BBC crew off the plane as Newsround were covering the visit.
We visited Sandwick Junior High School for two sessions of speaking to pupils. These were attended by around 350 pupils (200 secondary age and 150 primary school age) from Sandwick, and the feeder primaries of Cunningsburgh and Dunrossness. The filming involved both large and small groups of children as well as the local photographer.
We visited Anderson High School and spoke to around 70 pupils. This needed a bit of time to get them warmed up and proved a usefully challenging session – Anderson is the largest school on the Isles.
I was interviewed by the Shetland BBC radio as a trailer for the Newsround item.
I addressed a small group of workers engaged with children and young people to lay out the strategic approach before catching flight to Aberdeen.
