Wallace And Gromit
On Friday the 31st August we went to Mareel to see Wallace and Gromit The Curse of the Were Rabbit. I learned the sculptures were small so they can fit in the shot and the rabbits would have been tiny, They were 15cm tall . I learned that they had to be 12 Wallace mouths for every scene. I learned that most of the props were made from Plasticine. I learned that it takes a year and a half to make a animation. I learned that they have to be a metal skeleton so the arms don’t fall off the puppet. I really enjoyed the experience and also enjoyed seeing Nick Park.

Dynamic Earth
On 31/8/18 2 people from Dynamic Earth came to Mid Yell School to talk about the earth and how it is getting polluted. Dr. Craig got a sample of (not real) sea water and sea what we could find in there there were plastic straws a plastic bag and some fish the fish were alright, but the other things weren’t. He also had a big plastic transparent tent which was the shape of an oblong with bits in it it was representing all of the things polluting the atmosphere. It was really fun and exciting.

Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of The Were-Rabbit
Film Making
I learnt that every day an average time would be four seconds of the movie! Wallace and Gromit are made of plasticine and they have a metal structures or wires inside them.
Copyright & Trademarks
I learnt that trademarks are logos except they have copyright on them so you can’t use it and say its yours so we made cookie packets and made our own logos on them.
The Film, Q&A with Nick Park
I think I’ve watched that film before but I could hardly remember what it was about since the last time I’ve watched it. Nick Park’s favourite film out of the Wallace and Gromit films was The Wrong Trousers. I still put my hand up but I didn’t get to ask a question. I also learnt that it took 7 years to make the movie!

Wallace and Gromit
On Friday the 31/08/18 we went to Mareel to watch Wallace and Gromit the curse of the where rabbit.We all really enjoyed the film we thought it was funny. After we watched the film we got to ask Nick Park our questions. After the film we were looking at the credits and there was so many people that were in and making Wallace and Gromit. We got to see the real Wallace and Gromit they were way smaller than we expected. We learned that it is really important to have Trade Marks at the end of your film because then your film will not be copied. We practised drawing Wallace and Gromit in our sketch books. We really enjoyed Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Were Rabbit.

Year of Young People 2018/School Building Birthday and Mini Olympics
Burravoe School’s most recent building is 50 years old this year. (The original building is on a different site and was built in 1872.) This year is also the Year of Young People when young people are encouraged to do something in their community; for their community event Burravoe pupils planned an evening of fun to celebrate the school’s birthday. They decided to hold a Mini Olympics and worked hard to plan events so that everyone could join in. The Parent Council provided some great food for everyone to have after the activities. We had meant to hold the event at school but it was so cold and wet that we had to do everything indoors at The Hall – nobody minded though and everyone had a great evening! Thank you to everyone who came.

Trowie Doors for Aa Trow Yell
This summer there is to be a festival in Yell called Aa Trow Yell. The organisers are keen to encourage walking so they have planned some walks where people can look for Trows.
They organised a competition for school pupils to paint some Trow doors that people can look for on their walks. Some of us entered the competition. We were delighted that Alice won first prize in her age category and that Andrew, Lily and Abby were highly commended.

Science Ceilidh
We had a day of creativity and science when Louis Hou from Science Ceilidh came to spend time with us to teach us about the brain and to help us be creative about showing what we had learned. We were very pleased that Fair Isle School came to join us for the day and that the weather was so nice we were able to work outside.

Our Victorian Workshop in The Museum and our Walk
On 10/05/18 we drove to Lerwick on the bus. First we went to the museum to do our workshop. When we got there we looked round the museum at the Victorian section. Next we went to the museum’s learning room. They explained to us that this is going to be an Victorian classroom experience! When we went in we got pretend name labels, my pretend name was Ursula Jamieson. When we went inside he called out the register, when he said our pretend name we had to say “present sir”. next we got chalkboards and a piece of charcoal, we had to copy the words on the other chalkboard in the front. When we wrote it was very noisy. Next we got ink pens and ink and we had to write the alphabet on a piece of paper we also got quills. It was easier writing with the ink pen because with the quill there was a risk of blotting the paper. After the workshop we went back upstairs in the museum to have a closer look at the exhibits. Later we went on a walk from the lifeboat building to the Knab in Lerwick, we had to tell which houses were Victorian or older and which were new. I learnt that the lifeboat building was one of the Victorian houses.
