Burravoe Primary School

I made a kite by sticking 4 sticks together, 2 long and 2 short and made a basic diamond shape. I stuck on some string and covered it in blue see through paper. I made two green eyes and a tail. I made it for art but it could fly a little bit. I decorated the string by putting on some green paper.

On Wednesday we had a glow meet with John Fardell. We got to ask questions, He was speaking about his book called The 7 Professors of the Far North we are reading it at school it is about a boy that is going to his aunts house and on the way he saw a motorbike that was yellow and he went with them instead. This was part of the Fife Book Festival

We learned that you can use lots of little notes and ideas to make a book. After we’d had the glow meet we did some more school work then we went home when I got home I made a book that was called Bob the Plane Driver, It is about a man called Bob and when he goes to the supermarket he meets a man called Richard. I was influenced by John Fardell helping kids make up their one stroy. I enjoyed writing it Dad, Mam and Kerry liked it.

On Wednesday we made Lemon curd so we washed our hands and put on our aprons. Next we got all the ingredients and equipment out. First we put lots of sugar in a mixing bowl and we squeezed the juice from some lemons, pured it in and grated a small bit of lemon peel and put it in. Then we cooked it on full for five minutes. We took it out and added some butter and stirred until it melted. Next we got a smaller bowl and whisked eggs then we poured the eggs into the mixture. We beated the egg into the mixture. Next we put it in the microwave one minute at a time for nine minutes. Last we put some in eleven cups and put it in the fridge.

Everybody had to record their finds by writing it down on a piece of paper so I could choose a winner.

Today we had to harvest our bere so that it didn’t turn old so we got our jackets on and the big ones got a pair of scissors then we went outside and we started to cut, the little ones got to hold the crops. We got all off the pieces of bere together and then we tied it up together and then we put it near the bike racks and left it to dry. Shetlands tradition is growing crops. In the olden days the people would grow them to make bread. Bere was used to make bere meal they would use it to make bere meal bread.
