On Monday 17th June the P7s did some bike-ability because they haven’t done any this year. When they were on their way back from the bike shed, Mrs Bews asked if she could take their jackets without them being suspicious. When they ran round the corner, lots of parents were ready, waiting to soak the P7s. One of the parents even had a freezing cold water tank on the back of a trailer.
On Tuesday the 25th of June our school went on a walk to Balfour Castle. We all ate our snacks in the castle garden and then we went to the cannons and saw the highland coos and the highland calves, loads of people thought they were cute. The cannons were blocked up by concrete and we saw all the flower beds and there were lots of bushes. Everyone had the choice to pick one flower each but not everyone wanted one.
We do the castle walk every year but this time I got to see the back of the castle for the very first time. I also got to see the castle gardens, which I have not seen in years. There is also a very interesting pattern made out of clover next to the castle. It has one big patch in the middle and smaller patches around that.
On Friday, 17th of May, Shapinsay Primary, Papay School and Eday Primary went on a tour held by Glaitness School. The tour guides were dressed in medieval outfits to set the theme of the palaces. They were split into two groups: one group did a tour of the Earl’s palace – the other group did a tour of the Bishop’s palace.
We first got a tour of the Earl’s palace.
Then got a tour of the Bishop’s palace.
