Burravoe Primary School

Today was a really sunny day. Miss Breyley let us have an extra long playtime since It was a nice day. The little ones and Charlotte and Lucy played dodgeball, while Me, Brydon and James talked and played with Brydons bouncyball. After that we went and dug up some carrots for Elsie and some to enter into the Yell Show. The playgroup came and the little ones played outside while the big ones dug up their tatties that they growed for a competition against each other. Brydon won with a weight of 1kg! We don’t now what the prize is yet. We had FISH for dinner which was really tastey. We found some Pictures and Artwork to enter into the Yell show. We had rewards, I got a sticky Scorpion. You could choose what to get you could get Money, Reward or Roll Over. Us big ones then went and did our Volcanoes work to do with our topic. We wrote a bit about that then went a picked  2 lettuces to enter into the  Yell Show as well. We washed them and then put them on a plate. Miss Breyley read us a story then it was time to go home.

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.

We splited in to groups and had a look at some dead insects.We went to the museum to look at all the rocks that were there some were old rock that had been crushed the little ones went with Jennifer  went to see the gallery. We saw a big wheel that told us what happened a long time ago. Miss  Breyley told us to walk around and find out about the old Shetland times. Then we went back to the bus and went to the co -op we broght  some fruit that people  chose what fruit they wanted. We went to the playpark on Kings Howard Street.We had our 5 a day and some people played on the swings and on the monkey bars. Then we went to the clickimin.We found the Cooking bus and went in we standed on the blue mat and  a lady called Sue told use what we had to do. They were another lady called Jem. They told use what we were making, for the first  time I chopped a tomato and a pepper and I really enjoyed it. At the end Jen made us some strawberry smoothie.

Yesterday we went to Lerwick. first we went to the shetland Amenity trust because we were going to do a work shop with Robina about rocks, two men called Paul and Howard that shoed us bugs under the microscopes. we got split up into two groups the little ones went with Robina first witch mean that we would be going with the two men then we got split up into two groups agein I went with Kay we didn’t like some of the bugs because they were very spotty and patchy.  some of them were very beautiful. then we went with the other man  he shoed us the bumble bee  it looked a bit like  a small cuddly teddy  then we looked at a hover fly it had a long nose next we looked at the lace wing it was my favourite one. we went with Robina we remembered about the lava rock and we saw a rock that had a fosil of a piece of seaweed in it Robina shoed us a type of rock called felsite.

we went to the museum with Robena she shoed us  all the rocks and some of the felsite knives that they made for decoration.Magnetite was used for making steel. felsite is a very beautiful rock when it is polished. it was used 5,000 years ago. it was made into display knives. Schist could be carved into things as big as mill stones.Chromite could be ised for making steel. Soteamatite could be used to make dust. Aggreyate was used for making road chips. copperour was used for its copper, it was heated to get the copper out. then we went to the cooking bus it was a big lorry that folds out into a kitchen it was very fun we got shown what to do then we worked in pairs and used flower shakers, pastry, tomatoes, cheese, basil, olives and basil pesto.  we made it into basil and tomato tartlets. We made sunset pasta salad at the end we got some strawberry smothies.

Today we went on The Cooking Bus, but before we went there we went and saw Robina at the Amenity Trust becasue that is where her workshop is. When we were in her workshop there was Rocks around her office but we got split in two groups. One group went and looked at insects with the Howard and Paul (Theyshared the office with  Robina.) I went with lucy to look at the insects. It was scary looking at the moths in the case because i am terrified of them. It was also scary looking through the Microscope at them. The favourite bug I looked at was the Lace Wing . We learned about one of the bees that ate the crops, They lay their eggs and eat the crops to make them grow. The groups swapped and us big ones went to look at the rocks (which I am glad we did last so I had time to chill after looking at the insects.) She showed us all the rocks she got from a lady who was really intrested in rocks but she gave them to Robina to look at. She showed us her fossel rocks, One of the fossels had a fish scale pattern on it and the other had a plant trunk scraping on it.

We went to the muesuem with Robina. Us big ones looked at all the rocks and had to find out how oil is made. Oil is made by layers of rocks pressing down on the oil wich makes it rise up to the surface. Oil tank collecter pick it up off the sea and use it.  Robina showed us a nice crystal rock in the muesuem it loked abit like iceicle up side down. 

Robina went back to her work while we went to the Co-op to choose our own fruit and vegtables. We all liked Pink Lady apples so we took some of them. Brydon wanted to try a lime and I wanted to have Corn on the cob, but we had way more fruit and veg than that. The peerie ones went back on the bus but us big ones stayed and helped to pack up the fruit and veg in bags.

We went to the King Harold Street playpark to have our lunch. We had Flapjacks or Homemade biscuits for pudding. When we finished we went and played in the playpark. I liked playing on the bridge you walked across in the air.

We went to the Clickimin to go to the toilet before we went on the Cooking Bus. The Cooking bus was parked right outside the Clickimin. We got to the cooking bus and had to stand on a blue mat which they called the holding mat, Because they didn’t want people running about on the bus when they first came in (even though we would never do that because it is rude.) We gave Jem and Sue some of our Shetland black tattie we grew and they really appreciated it. We went and washed our hands at the sink which you use to wash our hands in. Sue showed us how to make Basil and tomato tartlets. Us big ones went and shared a table toghether (Me ,Brydon ,Lucy and James) and made them. We used Pastry, Tomatos, Basil , olives and more. We cleaned up our own mess so Sue and Jem didn’t need too. I really learn ed how to coook healthy becasue whenehter I cook I make un healthy things like cakes but I think I shall cook more hellthy now.

Magnie had sprayed the kale with catapillar spray so that all the catapilars wouldent take over them. Mary showed and told us about her hony sucle she had some honey sucle from the himolairs the honeysuckle smelt good. When we had looked at them we got to see baby puppies. Mary and Magnie gave us some jam and lemon curd.
