Guides

For about a year I have been going to Guides. I’m the only one who goes to guides, but soon my Unit leader is going to start Brownies at the same time, so maybe some other people can go to that. I have done 2 or 3 Go For Its and working on another one at the moment. The next one we are doing is outdoor cooking. The Go For Its that I have done are Take Your Toothbrush (which is just a sleepover for the whole Unit) and Breaking Barriers. Go For Its are badges you do with patrol but we don’t have patrols at the moment so we do it with our whole Unit. I have done 2 badges and I’m working on my 3rd. I’m working on my cooking badge and I’ve done my craft badge and my agility badge. I’ve done my promise so when you do that you get a promise badge. I also have another badge that my Unit leaders got for everyone and it says I love Guides on it. Every badge you get (apart from the promise badge) you have to sew on to either your T-shirt, jumper or club blanket. I really love Guides and I want to keep going for as long as I can.

Edinburgh Trip 2017

Me and Phoebe went to Edinburgh with the rest of the P6/P7 from Mid Yell, Cullivoe and Baltasound. We left on Sunday nights boat and arrived on Monday morning.

Monday

When we woke up we got on the bus and drove to Stirling, first thing we did there was we climbed the Wallace Monument there was 246 steps! Next we went to the Battle of Bannockburn center it was really cool you had to put on 3D glasses and the battle happend around you. Then we went into a separate room and re-fought the battle the Scots won! Then we drove to the Toby’s Carvery and then the hostel I was sharing a room with Jessica, Sabienne, Emma, Phoebe and Malin.

Tuesday

I was really exited for Tuesday because it was our first full day in Edinburgh! We went to the castle but we couldn’t go that day so we ended up walking the royal mile. Next we went to Camera Obscura it was really fun! After that we went to dynamic earth and touched a real iceberg! Then for tea we went to Cosmo’s and after we went to watch a film Me and Malin went to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean film, it was AMAZING!

Wednesday

This was my favourite day!When we woke up we were all super exited for Butterfly World! But before that we went to the Museum of Scotland. Then we went to Butterfly World it was so hot in the greenhouse it was so warm we saw Turtles! Then we went through to a much colder room and held a millipede, snakes and the one I was most worried about the Tarantula. Me and Malin agreed we would both hold the tarantula my heart stopped as it started crawling up my arm but the man took him off. Then we got ice lolly’s and ate them outside in the play park then we drove to Pizza Hut and then went bowling. I won second place!

Thursday

We woke up and went to M and D’s it was so much fun! My top 3 rides were the Pirate Ship swing, the mine roller-coaster and the drop water slide was SOOO FUN! M and D’s was good fun!

Burravoe Carnival 2017

On Saturday the 10/06/17, it was the Burravoe carnival. our theme was a, tv programme called I’m a Celebrity get me out of Here, all we had to do was dress up as a celebrity, or a animal. I dressed up as Adele, this time my brother, went on our float as well, my brother was dressed up as Tavish Scott. Whenever there were lots of people, we had to throw gummy worms, and shout I’m a Celebrity get me out of Here. We also got to, eat some of the sweets, but we also needed to pretend that the, gummy worms were real worms, so we needed to make a disgusted face, when we ate them. We won second prize. We decided to give the £50 to the charities that Elsie chose.

Gardening

This morning we planted onions. we work out how many is in each row there was six in each row. There was about 100 in the packet of onions. We also did earthing up the tatties. It means putting the soil over the tattie leafs from showing out of the soil. One way to do it is to to cover it up with the soil around the tattie or you can get some more soil and put it on the tattie.

Hatching Chicks

We have had 6 hen eggs in our incubator for nearly 21 one days; we thought we had timed it so they would hatch after our long weekend but 2 have decided to come early!

 

This is the second chick starting to pip.

 

This is the second chick hatching – he gets tired very quickly.  It’s hard to get good pictures because of the reflection from the incubator!

Even though it’s a holiday not everyone has missed the first chicks!

The Beach and The Old Haa

Yesterday we went to the beach and the old Haa, first we went to the beach and we found some sea Snails. I found some shiny Rocks. In the sea I saw a seal and it was quite far away. There was also Three Rock pools, and in one there was a thing that looked like a worm but we didn’t know what it was.  After that we went to the old Haa and there was really good paintings and I thought that they used water colours. My favourite picture looked really nice and  she used bits of china from the beach for the clothes on the washing line.

Chicken Eggs

Yesterday we got 6 fertile chicken eggs. We put the eggs in a tray 3 on each side on one side we put water on the tray and the other side we didn’t. Before we did anything we had to wait for the incubator to heat up to around 34-35 degrees. Then we put the eggs in the incubator now we have to wait 3 weeks for them to hatch.

The Swan

We went on the the Swan and thing we had to do first is go under and speak about safety. The thing I liked the most was putting the sail up and my other favourite was the hot chocolate! We also learned to tie knots, I learned the reef knot. We also had to put on our life jackets.

The Swan

Today we went to the Burravoe Marina to go on the Swan and my favourite part was when Maggie  taught us how to tie some useful knots on big boats and little boats.We got hot chocolate and we pulled up a sail and before we started  we went below decks to learn the safety things and we got our lifejacket on, saw the toilet and the emergency exit and got on decks again.

The Swan Trip

Today we went on the Swan. First we went below decks to go and see the toilets why the other three got there live jackets on. Then we went sailing .We learned how to tie knots with Maggie. We started at the Burravoe Marina and went all the way until we could see Mossbank. We had to pull the rope to get the sail up. We also got hot chocolate on the way back to the pier. My favourite thing was probably make the knots because they were really useful if you wanted to become a sailor. Thank you for having us on the Swan we really enjoyed it.
