We live on the Isle of Jura. Life on an island is very different from life on the mainland. The only school on the island is in the village and most children have to get up early so not to be late for school. From the north end it takes around half an hour or sometimes even more to get to the village (depending on where in the north you live).
On the island there are around only 230 people. There are only 19 people in school including nursery. There are 2 classroom teachers, 1 nursery teacher, 1 classroom assistant, 1 secretary and 1 head teacher. The school also has 1 pet gold fish called Pebbles (we used to have another called Sandy).
Sometimes we have dolphins swimming up Craighouse bay and we once had Orcas up at the north end.
