Burravoe Hallowe’en Party

On Friday it was the Hallowe’en party. We played musical bumps. we played it but nobody could get out so we played musical statues. Some more people got out but still so many were in.So we stopped playing musical statues and danced. Then we did the prize for the costumes. I won a prize for my costume I was a skeleton for the party. For the pumpkin competition I also won a prize. We played corners. Thats the game when you dance and when the music stopped we had to go to a corner with a picture on the wall. A person would  show everybody and the person at that corner and that person would be out. We had tea at nearly at the end. At the end we did the raffle. I enjoyed it.

Peter and the Wolf

Every week for last term in our music lessons, we were going through a story which was called Peter and the Wolf, after we mostly memorized it we planned a performance, that was going to be filmed. First we decided who is going to be which character. Next week we thought what costumes we would need, and were could we get them from. Then we played our parts in the story, but unluckily when we had a look at our film, we realized, that our music teacher,Mrs Leslie, had filmed it in fast motion by accident, so we had to do it all over again, although we didn’t really mind anyway. Now we did it the second time and this time, it worked!

The Lamb Sale 2017

On 22/9/17 we went on a school trip to the Marts in Lerwick, It was a lamb sale so they only sold lambs. The reason why we went to the marts was because we are doing a project called food for thought and we thought it would be a good idea to go there on a school trip. When we arrived at the marts we went straight into the place where they were selling the lambs so that we could get a seat. We all had share a sheet which showed us what lambs were coming in and who their owners where. It was meant to start at 10 but it only started at half 10. It started of with the sheep coming into the ring through one gate and there was a man called Morgan chasing the sheep so that the bidders could see them from different angles, at the same time the auctioneer was trying to sell the sheep and you couldn’t really keep track of what he was saying because he was saying it so fast, When the sheep had been sold then the auctioneer banged a stick onto a piece of wood so that everyone knew that the sheep were sold, Then the sheep were chased out of another gate ready to go to their new home.

Sheep Sale

Last Friday we went to the sheep sale and we saw lots of sheep. Some of the sheep were black and white and some of the sheep were white and there were rams and the rams were brown.  All the sheep and rams came through a gate and in to a ring. When the sheep came in they came lots at a time and sometimes they came one at a time and sometimes there were two and some times there were three.  The rams came in all together and the white sheep came in with some of the black and white sheep. The auctioneer was counting the sheep numbers every time they came in he said the numbers very fast.

Harbros

In Harbors we saw sheep shampoo and cow shampoo sheep and cow food and we saw sheep paint and other sheep and cleaning things.

As part of our Education Scotland Food for Thought project we joined a cook along with John Quigley who is the Chef/Patron of the Red Onion in Glasgow.

We made vegetable spring rolls – it was quite hard to keep up as our internet kept dropping but we got there and the food was delicious!

Shetland Wool Week 2017 at the Old Haa

There is an exhibition at the Old Haa to coincide with Shetland Wool Week 2017. We were invited to put a picture in the exhibition and decided we would all make a sheep to add to a flock.

We took our picture down to the Old Haa and looked at all the other exhibits. We took our sketchbooks so we could collect ideas. We looked at the patterns in all the knitwear and talked about their link to maths. #MathsWeek Scotland

This is our finished picture.

The Yell Show 2017

This year preparing for the yell show I have worked SO HARD to get it all done, The thing that took the longest time was my cake shaped like a dog, In the Yell Show I entered a Plain Cupcakes, Decorated Cupcakes, A Victoria Sponge and a Novelty Cake. In the flowers I entered Wild flowers, a Single Stem, a flower arrangement and an unusual container. I also entered a collage of a snail made with leaves and flower petals but it had the wrong name on it. For all of my entries I got first prize for apart from my picture, I think it was because I put more work into my cakes and flowers and not so much into my drawing.
