Dialect festival

On Tuesday the 13th we went to the dialect festival in the Garrison. When we got there we went upstairs and we went to the dressing room. We put down our jackets and water bottle and then we went downstairs for a sound check. When we finished the sound check we went upstairs and waited until we played. We went downstairs because  we were playing  on the stage. We sang our own song called Da Burravoe School Skule Sang and the song that we sang at the Music Festival.  Ratsty the otter presented the  certificate to us for our performance  in the Dialect festival.

Crunch & Magnie Have ARRIVED!

Our long awaited package with our school mascot Magnie, has eventually come from his holiday in Tipperary Cattle Station in Australia with his Aussie friend Crunch the Croc. Magnie is our school pet whale, he has traveled all over the world and comes back with many stories to tell, he has been to Australia many times.

It all started after we sent Magnie away to the land of Australia, Magnie had to fly all the way to the other side of the world, he says “It was the most exciting way to start off his holiday to Tipperary, with puffin poo to keep him well fed!” He arrived on 15th April, he spent 13 glorious days in sunny Australia.

Tipperary Cattle Station School has 6 children, the land around the school is very vast and flat. The head teacher is called Jasmine Shannon, There is wild cows roaming around; to get to school the children go in helicopters! They all have horses (how cool is that!).  Magnie told us how he met Crunch the Crocodile on his first day in Australia, they got on like a house on fire; Magnie did cycling in the barn with the children of Tipperary, he also did gymnastics, he also went to the equestrian centre and met horses for the first time, he went flying over Tipperary. Magnie went home with all of the children and got to know what it was like in different people’s houses. Magnie had such an amazing time! Tipperary blogged about how much fun they had with Magnie. Our mascot with his best mate was sent away on April 28th. Yesterday Magnie arrived jet lagged from his trip and now it is our turn to take Crunch the Croc around Burravoe. Magnie would love to thank Tipperary for having him in Australia.

The first signal was slowing down. The second  signal was left and the last hand signal right. Last bit we did was theory test. We look behind your right shoulder and look at the front then we do the hand signal then looked again.

Mid Yell P7 Transition

On Tuesday 6th of May, Me and Ms  went to Mid Yell Junior High, which is around 19 miles away. Me and Ms Breyley arrived early so I got a longer tour. I am doing my P7 transition at the moment, the last time I blogged about transition I was in Cullivoe. Here is the link to the blog post to know what I am on about. Cullivoe Transition Day Blog Post.

After the tour, Cullivoe Primary P7’s had arrived so we got started. We had a talk about what we would that day; we had to present our power point that we did in Cullivoe. That took up most of the morning because we listened to other people’s presentations. At break time we had fruit inside the classroom as people were in their exams at the moment. We played music and played on the iPad; after lunch we had to make 4 letter words with paper letters we were given, there was a tie at 31. Then we met some of the secondary teachers, and did some of the subjects we would be doing in secondary 1. That was the end of the transition day,The last transition day will be on 28th May in Burravoe. 🙂

Mussels

We all hopped on the bus and drove to Cullivoe. On the way to Cullivoe we saw mussel lines they have big black floats, they are bit like big black plastic eggs. And they are ropes that hook the plastic eggs together. When we got there well first we all put on our boots. We all said hi to Christopher. We went to a big yellow box  full of water and mussels and when you looked closer you could see a sea slater. All of the mussels where stuck on to a rope that was very dirty and sea weed grew on it too. We saw some of the mussels opening up to feed on creatures in the water. We went to a box that has hairy rope that baby mussels grow on. We went over to a fish tank with no lid, there were mussels and sea slaters, brittle stars and an orange fish. Next we went through a door to a room full of mussels and other sea bugs and red sea weed. We looked for sea bugs. Then we went outside and there was a giant WASHING MACHINE that cleans the mussels and then they go on a moving conveyor belt and the people throw the bad ones in a bin. The good ones go in to yellow bag and send them to Billingsgate in London then they get sent to places in England and to Israel and Dubai.

Cullivoe P7 Transition

On Tuesday, It was P7 transition and as I am P7 I went to Cullivoe. (Transition is where we go to the 3 different schools on Yell, which are Cullivoe Primary, Mid Yell JuniorHigh and Burravoe Primary so that we get to know each other before we go into S1. Mid Yell is where we go when we go into secondary). As I was saying, we went to Cullivoe, Cullivoe School is  around 19 miles away. When we got there we were met by one of the P7s called Kirsty from Cullivoe. We all know the Cullivoes because we all go to P.E together in Mid Yell on Thursday.

Kirsty gave  Freya, Margo and I a tour of the school; Next we went into the classroom where we would be working all day. We sat down on the empty seats. Then we had a welcome intro, next we got given A4 triangles that had a country with a flag or writing. I got an Indian flag, then we had to find our group.  My group was Lizzie, Alfie and Ben; Then we sat down at a table and then we had to number ourselves 1,2,3,4. The reason we numbered ourselves is because we would be doing tasks for our teams; the roles were the mediator, encourager, the resources manager and the time keeper. Next we were given 12 minutes to draw around our hands, and write 5 things about ourselves. Then we had to share about ourselves.

Next we went to the canteen where we had break, I had an apple. After break, we went back into the classroom, We next got given pictures of the Mid Yell Junior High School staff and had to make a poster, with all their names stuck on.

Ms Breyley did a little presentation about our Digital Commonwealth 2014 group. Then we had to chose a country to do either a film, power point or word document. My group chose Fiji (which is in the Pacific Ocean). Then we got given a piece of paper with a list of what our project would need to have in it. We then divided the list of tasks into 4 so we all got 2 tasks to do. After planning how we I had chicken curry and jam sponge. were going to contact each other. Then it was time for lunch,

After lunch, we were told to make up a team name and a team flag, the flag had to include something that we had written on our paper hands. We called our team Clab, it has all of our first initials in it. Then we drew our first letters of our names on white paper, then we stuck them on. We also put our paper hands on too. By then it was the end of the day, Me and Miss Breyley helped tidy up.

Shetland Primary Schools’ Hockey Tournament 2014

On Tuesday the 22nd P5-6 went to a hockey tournament in Brae. Every school in Shetland went to it.  We got split into two groups, YEll 1 and Yell 2. I was put into Yell two with  Kerry, Dean, Callum, Kimberly, Connie, Catlin, Jake and Georgia. I was normally the defender because I am the best defender in my team. We first  did a practice/warm up. We played a mini game with everyone on the same team. Then they made up the teams. Yell 2 played lots of different teams.
