Janis Mackay

We watched Janis Mackay authors meet. She spoke to us about her inspiration for the Magnus Finn books. She lived in a cottage near a beach in John O’Groats in Scotland there was something in the sea that looked like a hand it disappeared at the different tides. So one day she asked somebody what it was and it was a mast of a sunken ship from the war. Then Janis wrote Magnus Finn a boy who could breath on land and under the sea and ended up writing three books. Janis Mackay also read from her books The Accidental Time Traveler. We had to think what we thought could happen next if a stranger grabbed your ankles. I would like to read some of her books especially Magnus Finn.

Small School Sports

Yesterday I went to Small School Sports at the Clickimin it was loads of fun but I learned some things I learned how to play a bit of squash and the ball felt different. The ball was hallow and didn’t feel right.

I also did dance We did the songs shake it off, hey hey with the monkeys and Jungle Book song.

I did bowls, its hard but I knew how to do it so it wasn’t as tricky when you know how to curve the bowl.

I did rugby but you couldn’t tackle and we played a mini game called end ball you weren’t allowed to move with the ball so you had to pass the rugby ball to your team.

The Bad Morning Performance

On Saturday night at the Burravoe Hall we took part in the premier of The Bad Morning which is based on The Gloup Disaster. Pete Sharkey wrote the music and put the performance together. Mr Sharkey sent the music to us and we wrote the lyrics to fit the tune. We decided that the tune was a lullaby and we collaborated to write My Peerie Baby. Cullivoe School also sang a song they had written about the disaster and the resilience that Yell showed afterwards. The Shanty Yellmen sang Da Sang O Da Papa Men and The Unst Boat Song in the production. Pete read stories about The Gloup Disaster which he had found in the Shetland Archives. There were Musicians and they played some music while there was a slideshow of photos of Gloup playing. We liked it.

My October Holidays

In the October holidays I went to Wales in Wales there is a place called Haven. When we got there we went to book everything that we were going to do In the week. I did lots of activities in the swimming pool, Me and Phoebe did water walkerz it is just these big balls filled with air, the ball wasn’t filled with air when I went inside the air was still blowing inside, the air was cold and the man he was pushing the ball with me inside into the pool, the ball that I was in was a bit wet but we both had our swimming costumes on so it was ok. I did the climbing wall I had never ever done it before I did lots of other activities. I wish we could go there next year.

My Holiday in Bannockburn

We were going on holiday to Bannockburn. We had to go on the Northlink (which is an overnight boat). In the morning we drove off the boat and went to Starbucks. Then we drove to Stirling. Once we arrived in Bannockburn we drove to our holiday house. When we got to our holiday house we met the lady who owned it. She gave us the tour of the house. It was a lovely! I slept in a room upstairs it had a double bed. Outside we had a hammock and a swing chair! My highlights of the holiday were when we went to the Stirling castle, going shopping in Thistles, staying in the hotel (it was my first time in a hotel) and watching Pan!

Pan Review

I loved Pan it was a very adventurous story. It was a prequel of Peter Pan. It was World War II Peter and his best friend nibs stayed in a boys home.

My October Holidays

In the October holidays I went to England, Wales and then England again. first we drove through England and that took us 7 hours but including a 3 hour stop at asda. The next day we got to haven in Prestatyn so it was called Presthaven. When we got to haven we had to go the reception but first we needed to find it which took us about 10 minutes, and then we had to take and other 10 minutes, and then another 10 minutes fin the cabin. When we got to the cabinwe all said “woow!” We went swimming every day in haven. My favourite part of haven was either target shooting I will tell you later or the water walkerz. I liked the water walkerz because I felt like a hamster and I liked the target shooting because it was fun and won a prize that nobody else out of 12 people, including the adults.  After we left haven we stayed in my home town.

My Summer Holidays

My trip to Lerwick 

Me, Anne, Abby and my Mum drove to the Mareel and watched Hotel Transylvania 2 it was amazing. I loved it and was funny and a good follow up to the first. Dennis’s journey to becoming a vampire was really funny. After we went to Mr  T’s for lunch then we headed home. I like Mr T’s better than Flames because it has more different types of food like curries.

My Sleepover

We had my cousin Chrissie for a sleepover. We played the Wii and we also played games. Me and Chrissie played with a bungee rope and swang on the beam and jamp over mattresses. The next day we went to Lerwick to drop of Chrissie and then Lucy, Mum and me had a day out in Lerwick and I had lots of fun with Chrissie and hope she can come for another sleepover soon.

Guising Night 1 

We went guising on Tuesday and I was dressed as Harry Potter. The people that went were: Honor, Mia, Abby, Melissa, Neil, Mara, Bradley, Sofia, Hannah and Bradley’s cousins. We started at the old shop and then it started raining so we had to shelter in the shop. We did all the houses up to the cross roads and went up the Brough road and then we headed home it was fun.

Guising Night 2

We went guising for a second night and started at the hall. I was a vampire with tons of make-up. That night its was me, Abby, Neil, Mara, Hannah, Lucy and Alice. We went in cars and did up the road to Mid Yell. It was really dark and really fun
