My Yell Show Day and Enteries 2016

I entered 4 things in to the Yell Show this year. I entered my novelty chocolate cake, my Hamabead lion and 2 of my portraits. On the day I we went to the main hall to see how I did with my baking and crafts. I was really happy to see that my cake had gotten 3rd prize! Thats the highest I’ve received in my baking so I was really pleased with that. On my Hamabeads I got 2nd! Again I was really happy with that. On my pictures I got well dones. Then I went into the photography and vegetables shed to see how the school vegetables had done. I saw Phoebe and sneaked up behind her and scared her. With Phoebe we went to see how the school vegetables did. Then we went to get slushies, we both got blue ones. We went for a walk to see the sheep and met Ms Breyley. An hour later we went to get more slushies with Abby, Rosie and Emer. Once we had drunk them we all went on the bouncy castle. 10 minutes later and Phoebe and Rosie had to go home so Abby, Emer and I went into the ball pool for ages. It was such a fun day and I was really happy with my cake and crafts and I can’t wait until next year!

Old Scatness

We went to Sumburgh on 31/08/16 it was really fun that day we also went to Jarlshof but that is a different post. When we went, we parked outside and we had our piece. We walked up the road into the visitor center. Inside the visitor center we passed costumes and post cards. Then we spoke to the archaeologist and we exchanged names, his name was Chris after that he asked us if we’re good at puzzles. We were, we did the puzzle quite quick, it was a puzzle of a time line from Stone Age to now. Then we went outside into what was a reconstruction of an Iron age house it had skins of animals that were really comfy there was a small lit fire in the middle of the room but the fire was smoking, there was an Iron Age style pot above the fire. We talked about if we would be able to live in there for a week if so what would we do, we said we could draw on the stone walls with charcoal or get leaves wood and sticks for the fire and some other things. We went back out side and looked at the real houses but they are really old and they didn’t have roofs.  After that we played a Viking game with logs and sticks the logs you had to hit down,  they were five logs for both teams and one middle log, you had to hit the middle log when the rest were knocked down. Then we got dressed in helmets and shields and took photos.

Trip to Old Scatness and Jarlshof

We went to Old Scatness because we are learning about Early Man. We built a timeline jigsaw. We went to where they lived in prehistoric times. We played games that they used to play. Their were a fire in the house that the people cooked with the fire and light up the house. We tried the costumes they wore at the time. We looked at their stones that they used and the people’s art. They used stones to make the pictures. We went to Jarlshof to see more houses they lived in. We went inside the houses. We went on a balcony to look at other houses. We saw what they do in their homes in the museum. They had flour and they grind the flour. We looked at the information about how they lived and what they did at home and what they did. They had holes with bones and stones. They were holes with a door on top. We saw half of the broch. There was stones outside the lairds house because it was for the people that were lost at sea.

The Yell Show 2016

This Saturday it was the Yell Show and it was really fun. I entered things in baking, crafts and flowers. In baking I entered my Victoria sponge, an iced chocolate sponge, iced cupcakes, non iced cupcakes and chocolate biscuits. I got 3rd for my Victoria sponge, I got 2nd for my iced sponge and for the rest I got well dones. I only entered 1 thing for the craft section and I only got a well done for my picture but that was okay because I enjoyed making it anyway. I entered a lot of flowers and most of my flowers were just well dones so I won’t list what prizes I got for them. The Yell Show wasn’t all competition there was a lot of others things to do apart from looking at entries. You could have an ice cream or a slushi, you could have food from the BBQ and you could have fish and chips. One of the most fun parts of the Yell Show was when I met up with Rosie, Honor, Emer and Phoebe and we had lots fun going in the ball pool, the bouncy castle and we ate slushies and they were really good.

My Gymnastics Classes

In the summer I went to some gymnastics classes that http://www.shetlandgymnasticsclub.org/ had run. They had a high beam, a low beam, an air track, a bouncier thinner air track, a block that we used as a vault and loads of mats. Upon the high beam we would do squat turns, jumps, round-off dismounts and straddle mounts. On to of the low beam we would do arabesques and more jumps. At the air track I would do round-off back handsprings and front handsprings. On the vault we would stand it up and do front handsprings over it. At the mats we would do back walkovers and cartwheels. After it ended the head coach of Shetland Gymnastics Club e-mailed my Mum to say that they would like me to train with them. I am so happy and now every Monday I go to gymnastics. So far I have done everything but my favourite is the air track. On the vault I am doing handsprings off of it, on air track  I am doing bouncing back tucks with help, on floor I am doing back walkovers and on beam I am working on my cartwheels.
