Burravoe Primary School

In the holidays every one was working so I went to the hatchery a lot. Sometimes I help but most of the time I go on an adventure. One time I was helping and I got to go in a tank with a brush and clean off all the brown stuff. It was fun because there was water in the bottom. One day I went against the currant on low tide but near the road it went really deep and I was stuck in the middle of the burn and it was really fast and deep. Lisa had to come and help because Chip dog was no use.

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.
