Bowls
We went to Small School Sports. We did bowls. We did practices before we did a competition. We learned how to hold a bowl. We let go of the bowls. I learned to roll the bowls properly.We threw the jack and place it anywhere. We went both sides in the rink. We did boys and girls to see who is the best at bowls. I threw the jack to its place. We had the black and brown bowls. The bowls were big. I learned how to use the bowls. We laid down the starting point. We lay down the starting point. I learned how to hold the bowl. I learned that to make sure that the bowls go by the jack to score a point. I learned to always not to throw it hard. The boys had 4 bowls and the girls had 6 bowls. We had to aim for the jack. I got better at how to play bowls.

Taekwondo In Small School Sports
Taekwondo was the first activity at Small School Sports it was so exciting, because I have never been before! The Taekwondo teacher was called Pio, he comes from Barcelona. At Taekwondo we started with a warm up, after the warm up we tried out some Taekwondo moves. When we knew some of the Taekwondo moves, Pio took out two clappy things and told us to kick them, after kicking our feet hurt a bit. Then he gave all of us a cushion to kick on it we took it in turns for kicking the cushion. Then Pio said that it was the end of this activity so we moved on another activity. I really enjoyed doing this activity, my favorite thing in this activity was kicking the clappy boards.

Swimming on Tuesdays
On Tuesdays I go swimming with Lily. At swimming the first thing we do is the beans game. It is when Nala says do a string bean then you have to stretch as tall as you can. After that we walk in a line at the wall and we walk to the deep bit and we do normal swimming with one or two boards and I swim with one board.We also do swimming on our back and I do that with two boards. We do push and glides too and then we do jumping in and then we go back in the shallow end and pick up hoops. Then we have playtime and Nala gets a watering can and fills it up with water and pours it on our head! Then we get out out of the pool and have a shower get changed and go home.

Small School Sports Athletics Orange group
On Thursday we went to school sports in Lerwick and it was REALLY fun. When we got there we had to be put into groups. Each group had a different team colour to tell us apart. Neil, Sonia, Rosie and I were on the orange team and Phoebe, Bradley and Honor were in the blue team. There were 5 sports in small school sports that you could do. But each team only did 4 sports. My team didn’t do Boccaio and Honor’s team didn’t do taekwondo. The 5 sports were taekwondo, rugby, boccia, bowls and athletics. Athletics was my favourite. There was 3 things in athletics that you could do Running, Jumping and Throwing. We got split into groups within our orange group. First the group that I was in did Throwing. You had to throw the ball behind your back as far as you could. There was cones set out to measure how far you got I got 8/12 next my group did Running and I LOVED that part of it you had to run as fast as you could over hurdles it was AMAZING Then we did Jumping it was basically like Running only with more hurdles and the hurdles were closer together. Overall it was SO FUN.

The rugby was really fun we did octopus but everyone was seaweed if we got caught then you had to through the ball in the air three times, in the next game then we had to pass around our waste three times. We played a game of rugby it was really fun then we had to kick it over the post and I completely failed because it couldn’t go over the post it was really bad but it is was fun. At the end they gave out a prize for the best group and it was the orange team so we got a packet of Haribo and I’m exited for next year all ready

The Norwegian Ship
On Friday we went on a Norwegian ship before the panto. They had to climb a ladder to put the sails and the other people would do things with the ropes on the deck of the ship to get the sails up. Then we went on the ship then we look around where we came on the ship. Then we went up the ladder on to the front of the ship it look like we where going to fall of the front of the ship. Then the last bit was the back of the ship. On the back of the ship there was two big stewheels.

The Swimming Gala
On Saturday I went to the Swimming Gala. It was for P6-7. I went last year and this year. I signed up for all the races and relays but I didn’t do all the relays. I didn’t do all of them because Mid Yell already had 4 people in their team so I went with Unst. They didn’t sign up for the back crawl so I couldn’t do it. First I did 1 length back crawl and I got 3rd for that. Next we did 1 length of breast stroke but I didn’t get anything for that. I also did the relay for breast stroke but I didn’t get anything for that. Next it was lunch and medal giving. Next it was 1 length of front crawl and I got a fifth ribbon. After that it was the relay for front crawl and I got a 6th ribbon for that. Over all I did quite good.

Our School Trip at the Shetland Museum
On Tuesday we went to the gallery, after the gallery we went round the whole museum. First we looked at a (not real) house (you can’t go inside the house though) which showed an example of a real house, in the olden times in the 1700. Then we went to the boat place (where the hanging boats are) I played the interactive quiz game about boats while Bradley and Honor dressed up as vikings and scared me. When I finished the quiz game Honor and Bradley undressed their selves and we went up stairs. Phoebe looked into a magnifier at a shell, then I looked and turned the huge round turning circle, it had animals and plants on it and the nature was in the colours of the rainbow, then we went round and looked at other things like the old black car and the light house. Then we went down stairs there we met the younger ones and our teachers.

Trip To The Library
We went to the Library because the Bonhoga Gallery was closed. We looked at non-fiction books. I looked at Roald Dahl. I was about him in his life. We went upstairs to read our books. We looked at the 3d printer. The 3d printer was printing a Turtle out. We went to the check out to make sure that we checked our books out. We looked at the desktop magnifier. We looked at the turtle printing out again and it had got more layers. We put books on the Magnifier to zoom in to information and pictures. We were looking at more books. I got a Lego book from the non-fiction shelf.

Shoo Rayner Workshop
Yesterday we went on a school trip to the Museum in Lerwick, originally we were going to go to the Gadderie and then go to the cafe and the little ones were going to go to the Shoo Rayner workshop. but then there was a really nice lady that would let us go to the workshop if we wanted to. Honor, Bradley, Phoebe and Sonia still went to the Gadderie but Rosie, Neil and I went to the workshop. The workshop was really fun we got to hear a story about Viking Vik and his brother and sister, the story was kind of disgusting but it was really funny. After we got told the story we had a break and a biscuit, after the break we actually got to draw Viking Vik and I thought my Vik looked quite like the real one.
When I went to the workshop I felt like a little one when I went to the workshop.

Howard Towll Exhibition 2016
Yesterday Phoebe, Bradley, Sonia and I went to the exhibition in the museum while the other ones went to Shoo Rayner. The exhibition was by and artist called Howard Towll. All the pictures were based on animals and birds. We brought clipboards so we could recreate some of the pictures. My favourite picture was of an otter hiding in the water.
I drew a dog looking into the sky. I think that was my best drawing of an animal.
