On Saturday we went to the Yell Show. First I looked at the things inside the shed. My digestives said well done but Filips digestives won the 2nd price. Mum’s fruit pizza won 2nd price too but it did not look as good as the day before. My loom band sun won the 3rd price.My dragon tail loom band said well done. Filips picture of a red tractor or racing car won 3rd prize. My picture was about a farm but the farmer was shouting because Pinkie Pie was on the farm but it only said well done.We looked at the ponies and had some fish and chips.  Then we looked at the animals Rosie showed her ponies Blue Bell and Clover. We saw some of our school vegetables and then went to see the cows we went to the ball pool I sunk 3 times and one time fell on the floor but I laghed. We got some Ice  cream and went home.

On Saturday I went to Lerwick with my family.  We  went to Tesco to  buy lots  of food. We went to the Co-op to do a quick shop. We went to the fish and chip shop for lunch. The fish and chip tasted good.I saw a barge it was a zebra I saw a security man . We went to the ferry lane they were no ferry yet we wait for the ferry. I saw the ferry I saw cars we went on the ferry.It was in Ulsta we got home.

Before we went to the Yell Show we had to pick up my sister at the ferry.She lives in Mossbank Chloe and Luke came too. When we got there we met mum. First we went into the big hall with all of the paintings and cakes and lots of other entry’s I got a first 3 seconds and a third. We met Kerry, Phoebe and Rosie there. Next we went to like a fun and games shed with lucky dips and balloons I got a Disney Frozen balloon whacking stick and I also had a go at the lucky dip I got glitter pens and and a play-do roller. At the pet shed I saw kittens, puppies, bunnies, ducks and hens and inside they where selling baby bunnies for £5 but I didn’t buy one because I have a cat. I went on the bouncy castle with Rosie, Emer and Kerry it was a panda bouncy castle and it had a big panda right over the top of it. At the end of the day I took all of my entry’s home and I had a grate day at the Yell Show.

On Saturday we went to the Yell Show and I got Well Done for my Hamma beads. My  school put  vegetables in the Show and got 3 1st prizes. I went on the bouncy castle it was a  panda.

I enjoyed the museum. I saw the boats. There was a Sixareen, Fourareen, Shetland Maid and a model ship.  I saw a model P&O ferry it had eight small lifeboats on it.  The P&O was an old boat which sailed between Lerwick and Aberdeen.

We went to the lifeboat the man fell overboard 2 men helped  to rescue him with a winch from the lifeboat. John works on the lifeboat  he  took us in the lifeboat station he showed the lifeboat mens suits, up stairs john show us were they  meet. On the walls we saw all rescues that the lifeboat

had done.

We went to the ferry and then we went to the Museum in Lerwick.  At the museum we saw boats and an old fashioned car and a gig.We saw oars in the  boat the people used to row.called a sixtreen theycarried sheep and fish. We went on the lifeboat there was a man who jumped in the sea  they got in the boat  to rescue him and took him in to the boat. the big ones went to Mareel to watch a film in Spanish What had clowns Honor didn’t like the clowns.

In the morning I got run to the ferry by my dad. when I got on the bus it was nearly time for us to go on to the ferry so we had to sit in our seats. It was a long drive to Lerwick I thought it  an hour. But when we got to Lerwick we dropped off  the little ones at the museum and we walked to the Mareel and watched Anina. Anina is a little girl who thinks she is in a mess. it was in Spanish so there was English subtitles. It was a really good film. After the film we had our pack lunch. Then we went to the pier to see the tall ship and to go on the life boat. The Tall Ship had lots of sails. On the Life boat I learned that 2,000  – 3,000 people get saved a year. We got to go inside of the Life Boat but not down stairs because the steps where to steep in side  there was a room that only the crew could go in and a bench that could split in to  two when we went out side the Life boat one of the crew members jumped in the water and his life jacket inflated but if it didn’t he would have to pull a string and it would inflate. The other crew members had to save him in the y boat. after that we went to the station there was a room that the crew could make them selves at home after that it was time to go on the bus.

First we saw a giant ship it was a huge model oil boat then we went to another room.  Emer and Rosie went to play in a pirate ship meanwhile me, Hannah, Sofia, and Neil played a game. We had to read the questions then press a boat then it said what the boats do. Then we looked at the sixareen and other boats that were hanging on the roof.  Then we played another interactive game. You had to get through two balls in the water with a boat then we went up stairs and sketched the boats on the roof.  Then we saw a gig which was pulled by a horse before people had cars. After we ate lunch.  Then we went to the port and went to the lifeboat we went to the cabin and had sweets we came out and saw one of the men jumping into the sea. We had to call help! The other two men came with a mini life boat to rescue him then they showed us how their suits kept them afloat and had a light and whistle.  Then we went back to the lifeboat station.  John showed us around the station there were two women who work at the station but lots of men. We got some colouring pages and then when you colour them you give them back and maybe win a prize. Then we went back to the bus.
