Visit to The Settler

Gib and Marianne invited us to visit The Settler whilst she was at Scottish Sea Farms in Scalloway. We were able to watch Daniel controlling the unloading of the salmon which they had brought from Orkney into the processing plant. Gib gave everyone a tour of the boat; the older ones went down into the engine room with Neil, the engineer. Thank you very much to Gib and Marianne and the crew!

Our Trip on Mainland

First we went inside Mareel and then there was a T- shirt performance some bits were funny but I liked it we sat on benches. There were mostly gymnastics with the T-shirts. After we went to the Met Office and Jenny showed us around and we wrote our names on the weather balloon. Then we watched the weather balloon go up. Then we rode the bus to Scalloway and there in a playground we ate our lunch it was fun in the playground, but we soon had to go to the Scalloway museum. In the museum there were lots of interesting things like different boats and mostly history. And  breathing mask from the war period and old money. After  we went to the Scalloway castle there were steep stairs. Then for tea we went to Cornerstone I liked the food there. Then we went home.DSCF1098DSCF1159

101 Dalmations Float At Burravoe Carnival

We were all puppies but our p7 was Cruela Davil. Probably our float was the loudest when we stared to bark and yell. we threw sweets which were spotty marshmallows we did’nt eat them but the sweets looked tasty. We finished the ride at the old pier. There was a barbecue me and my brother had sasauge rolls and on another stall there were ice creams we had them as well. Our float won second prize it was 50 pounds. After we went on the beach. I enjoyed being on the 101 Dalmations float.

Rocket Seeds

This term we have been growing rocket seed but not just any rocket seeds one packet has been in space! We planted 100 seeds from each packet. The first 2 seeds germinated in 3 days and the rest took 4. We had to calculate the percentage of seeds that have germinated by day 10. Next we had record  how many days it took the first seedling in each replicate to grow it’s first pair of true leaves. Then we calculated the percentage of seedling alive on day 17. On day 21 we had to measure the seedlings in mm. On day 28 we had to calculate the mean that were alive. Finally on day 35 we had to calculate the percentage of seeds alive.

Burravoe Carnival 2016

This year I have done a different float to the school I did my own float with my friend and my sister and more friends we did a Cop ‘n’ Robbers float we had a moped, a moped is a motor bike. I had lots of fun making it when I was on the school float then I didn’t really help but this time I really did help. We got an old ambulance siren for the float to sound like the police we also had music.

Scottish Opera 2016

We took part in Fever this years Scottish opera performance on the 9th of June in the Mid Yell school. All the North Isles schools were there. We have been practising for a few weeks. The real performance went really well because everyone knew the words, on the day we learned the positions and the actions but we were really good on them at the end. Our school P4-P7 worked with Cullivoe P5-P7 and we were the Medics, Baltasound P4-P7 worked together with Fetlars older pupils and they were the Press and Mid Yells P5 – P7 were the Bacterias and the Immune System. Overall it was really fun and I would definitely do it again!

Met Office Visit 25/05/16

We went to the Met Office to see the weather balloon. We went for a tour around the Station because it was early. I liked writing on the balloon. Owen showed us the insturment that measures the weather. We wrote our name on the balloon to tell we launched the balloon. We had a feel of the gases. They were expensive gas. We checked the wind at left and right.

Our School Trip

Yesterday we went on a school trip. First we went to Mareel to see a performance it was really weird but it was really cool. After that we went to the Met Office to see the weather balloon go up, it was really cool but one of the coolest bits at the Met Office was signing the weather balloon. As well as seeing the weather balloon we got to see lots of other things at the Met Office. We also got to do experiments. After that we went for our lunch at the fraser park it was really fun. After we had eaten our lunch we went to the Scalloway museum my favorite part was the play area. When we left the museum we really wanted to go to the castle so we went inside, we went in the kitchen, prison, storage room and the bedrooms. we also went to the Shetland bus memorial. But then we started to get really hungry so we went to the Corner Stone for tea. We finished our tea early so before we went home we got to got to the play park again.
