In the summer holidays I went to the Tall Ships in Lerwick! I stayed in our caravan. The Street Dancer and The Sizzler came up from Codonas theme park, They were very fun to go on! I went on the Gloria ship from Columbia. I think it was one of the best ships! I met up with Lucy and Abby and I went on some of the rides with them. Lucy went on the bouncy castle, while me and Abby went on the Sizzler! I also got a big thing of popcorn that took ages for me to eat.

On my holiday I went to Turkey. I went for two weeks. We were in Edinburgh for two nights and then we went on the plane for four hours and then it took ten minutes on a bus to get to our hotel called the Palace. It was really big place. It had a games room and we did a game of bowling. It had ten swimming pools. It was very hot. Most of the time it was 40°c. There were a chill out bar and you could go there when ever you wanted.

We have been waiting for a while for Trev, a visitor from St Clair School, Dunedin, New Zealand to arrive, http://trevjunior.edublogs.org/page/2/ . He has come to us from Mrs Watson’s Class in Sointula,  BC, Canada.  http://mrswatson123.edublogs.org/ . Its been a long sea voyage for him as he left Canada on the 25th May! We’re going to give him a few days rest and then we’ll introduce him to Shetland. Trev has been travelling around the world for a while now but this is his first trip to Europe.
Magnie will be pleased to meet him after his rest.

On Thursday night Me and my family went to Lerwick in our Motor home so we could try it out before we went on holiday. Nan and Grandad came too. They brought the cat too but the cat had to stay in because if the cat came out it would get scared of my dog.  On Friday Me, my sister, Mum, Nan and Granddad walked in to town Dad had to stop behind and work. It was really Hot and Sunny.  On Saturday we went into town and went out to a Chinese Restaurant with Nan and Granddad.  On Sunday Me, Mum and Nan went swimming in the morning it was great fun Then at  1 o’clock we went home.

On Wednesday we went on a big school trip to Sumburgh Head. Before we went on the ferry we saw killer whales. We went on the ferry. Then we went to Sumburgh to see the puffins. Sumburgh is a place that has a big hill and when you climb it it had a big cliff where birds lay. The RSPB came and teached us about all the birds that we would see. We played a game about it. We didn’t have much luck in seeing any. We only saw three. We saw two up close and one quite far away from us. We saw lots of Fulmars/Maalies. They were all over the place. When we got to the top we went inside it. Next we went to Jarlshof. When we had our lunch we saw an helicopter landing in the Sumburgh Hotel car park. After lunch we went in to the small gallary and we had a look at all the stuff that was in it. Then we went outside and we saw all the old ruins. We went up the old spiral stair case. Then we went to the Quendale Water Mill. There we saw  all the things they did to work the water Mill. First we saw a video of how it worked then Mr Brown gave us a tour around. We went in a dark tunnelthat we didn’t know what was in it and then we saw it led to the same place just behind the chimney. There were little cows in every room. When we left then we went to Frankies Fish and Chip shop. We had our tea there and then went on the ferry back home.  

We  went  to the Sumburgh  light house we learned all the  different  kinds  of   birds. Then we went to  Jarlshof  to see the round house and  wheel house. We went to Quendale to look  at the water wheel and the kiln floor and thresher. We had lunch in Jarl shof.

On Wednesday I had to be on the bus at  7:20 outside of my house we had to pack spare clothes and we could take money and cameras. When we got to Ulsta we meet Melissa, Leah and their Mum. Melissa sat by me on the bus. When we were waiting for the other ferry because the one at Ulsta was broken. There was some tourist that were pointing at something but we weren’t quite sure what it was in the water. A lady went over to our bus and said that there were some killer whales in the sea. Everybody was so excited it was the first time some of us has seen a killer whale and I was one of them. The killer whales were hunting in a pod near to an island not far from Yell. We got on the ferry to Toft that took 20 minutes. We first went past Voe on our drive, Then Tingwall, Then Quarff, then Cunings brugh, then Dunrossnes and then finally we got to Sumburgh. It took over 1 hour and a half because we went to the toilets. We first went to Sumburgh Head were the RSPB were they worked in a bit of the  Light House . Rebecca told us about birds we first played a game were we were sander lings and the teachers had a blue material  and when we are running over to get some paper food before the teid  comes in. We walked up the path and saw some Guillimots, Fulmor and Razorbill. Unfortunately there weren’t many Puffins but we did get to see 2 puffins close up. Next we went  Jarlshof that wasn’t that far from Sumburgh light house. We sat down and had a snack I had a tuna sandwich. We heard a helicopter noise flying ahead of us we thought that it was going to Sumburgh airport but insted it flew into Sumburgh hotel which was right next to Jarlshof. At Jarlshof  there is a little gift shop and a museum they is also very old houses with round houses, wheel houses, Laird’s house.
