transition
I am P7 and I will be going to be in the secondary at Mid Yell JHS in the summer so we have started to do a project with other schools with P7 pupils who are going in the summer. We are doing Mario Cart, there is a wiki on glow to see how we are getting on. There are going to be two teams who are going to be set tasks and have to do them at their school and put it on the wiki and they can phone each other up and glow meet.

The Questions of a 11 year old kid, Bedroom cleaning
The Questions of a 11 year old kid.
Bedroom Cleaning
“I’ll do it later mam!” I said.
“No, clean your bedroom now! That’s an order young missy!”
Yes that’s right; my mam says I have to clean my room when she has a room that looks likes an ant hill! Except hers is made with all her clothes not mud or sand. My room has a few magazines sprawled around the floor and a few socks and that is nothing compared to what she has lying on her bedroom floor.
I argued back (but now down stairs in the kitchen where she looked like she was Frying a sheep’s ear) “How come parents always say to do this and do that when you don’t even do what you are telling us to do. By the way what are you cooking? It looks like a sheep’s ear!”
She replied “It is a small fried piltock, I think, and you know I am not a good cook.
“Mam, The answer to the question?”
“We do, do what we tell you to do, we just do it differently.” Answered my mam.
“Well How? I never see you tiding your room like a normal mam or keeping it clean so you don’t have to spend a WHOLE day tidying it up like a kid so what do you do!”
“What is up with all this questions you keep asking me? First of all, why we are only allowed to wear pants and socks for one day and a T – shirt for two! I told you and you went and wrote a story about it! You are turning Nuts!” Mam said getting a higher tone in her voice.
“Mam, What about your room it is as messy as the skip at the Burravoe Pier!”
“Well what we do, is to do it whenever we have time. In the morning it is out of bed at seven, get dressed and have breakfast before I go to work and in the afternoon I have work till five before I come home. After that I have to make the tea for six and do the washing up and stuff like that. I also want a rest at times. When you’re a woman you’ll understand that life is always on the go, you can never hang about.
I moaned “I don’t want to be a woman when I am older.”
I replied again except sounding happier “So you do it if you have time? AAAAHHHHH but you don’t get a lot of time to do it, so your bedroom stays a heap.”
“Yes that right Hunny” Mam said looking up at me from frying her piltocks.
“Thanks Mam” I said while I ran up to my bedroom to type up our conversation to help my followers on my website about the question that you can sometimes never get answers too.

Going for a walk
Today we went on a long walk to video some of Burravoe. It was really windy so we got all our hats and things on and decided what to video and speak about them. We first walked to the Kirk to film some facts about it. James and Charlotte spoke and Brydon filmed the bit about the kirk. It is a Scottish Episcopalian Kirk. We walked up the Neepaback road and we stopped and filmed Ryan’s kye, its not too far from the school. You can usually smell them in the summer! Mia and Kerry spoke and Kay filmed. We walked a bit further and filmed some hens. All of them were camera shy. They were in a park at the bottom of a hill, above them were some old croft houses and planticrubs. Lucy and Honor spoke and James filmed. We battled the wind to half way down the road and filmed a quick bit about the crofts and continued to battle our way to the Marina. We stopped and filmed the NEW public toilets. Brydon and Bradley spoke and Kay filmed. The toilets are important to Burravoe so tourists and fishermen can use toilets and showers and the caravans and camper vans can have electricity. We stomped along a track to a white gate that wouldn’t open! We took ages to open it but we sent 3 big ones over and as Kay was coming over Jennifer opened it. We took a video of the old pier and the noost and James spoke. Then Miss Breyley took a video of the cannon and some of the horrible weather! We went up the stairs and videoed our cook’s house. We carried on up the road and took a video of Davie’s chickens and lobster creels. We got to the top of the hill and took a panorama of most of Burravoe then we went to the school for piece.

At The Post Office
- This is Me and my friends putting the stamps on the postcards.
This morning Leah,Melissa and I posted postcards at the post office. Mrs Breyley took us in her car because it was pouring with rain. We posted post cards to USA, Australia and Hawes Primary School in England. I posted mine to Mrs Yollis’ class in USA. 6 of us sent to Australia and 4 of us sent to USA and 1 of us sent to England. We got to put our stamps in a pot of watery sponge. The reason why we were posting our postcards is because we joined in the Postcard Project. We have sent 23 cards altogether. .

Postcard Project
We are taking part in a Postcard project with Schools around the world where we exchange postcards and tell them what it is like living in Shetland. Last Monday we wrote some postcards to send to other schools. On the postcard I sent there were Orcas and Puffins on it. We also got our first postcard from Class B4, Reefton School in New Zealand!
Here is the postcard from them!
900 people live in their town!
They have gold mines and coal mines.
Nathan wrote the postcard, Thank You for the information Nathan!

Posting the Postcards
On Friday James, Kay, Lucy and me went to the post office. The post office is actualy someones house with a post office on one side. We drove there because it was raining but we could of walked. We arrived and had our picture taken.
We went inside into the hallway and there is a hole on the left where you post and receive things. We showed Gilda the postcards and we had to put stamps that need to be licked. We took turns to lick and stick then we had to put on air mail stickers and we didn’t have to lick them.
At the end we had to work out how much it would cost to post so we did 67p x 10 and the anser is £6.70.
