We have been practicing for the Music Festival; The song we have been practicing is called Minnie o’ Shirva’s Cradle Song, it is a traditional Shetland dialect song. We have been practicing for weeks with our music teacher every Friday. The Music Festival was held in the Mareel on the 18th of March; there were primary schools from all over Shetland coming to participate.
On Tuesday, we had to get up really early because we had to get to school by 8.15 to load up our instruments. We went on the ferry at 8.45, we had to go so early because the ferry terminal double booked themselves so we were put on a earlier ferry. On the ferry we saw Cullivoe Primary; Cullivoe is in the north of Yell.
When we got off the ferry, we did warm ups to help with our voices, we also had thumb wars. By the time we got to Lerwick it was 10.00, we parked up by the Anderson High School, we had some fruit, water and bread sticks. After that we went for a walk around the Knab which is a walking path which goes straight through a golf course. We walked for half an hour, it was really fun!
Next we went to the Mareel; the Mareel is a cinema/cafe/music stadium. We carried our instruments into the entrance were we told to go up stairs into the Café Bar. We saw Cullivoe Primary there; they were about to go on stage so we carefully laid our instruments and went into Screen 1 where we watched Cullivoe and Mid Yell preform. We were in the next category, after a couple more schools we were showed down stairs into the green room were we could tune the bass guitar and the fiddle.
After the next school band came off we were shown towards the waiting room where our music teacher made sure everything was okay and tuned. Everyone was nervous, as we made it on stage the nerves went away. We waited until everyone was ready and launched into our song, all our adrenaline was high, as we finished our song. We were all grinning from ear to ear as we walked of the stage.

Introduction
We are doing a project called Food For Thought; For the Food For Thought we are doing about fish since we live on a island. We are doing our project with Cullivoe Primary School (which is on the south side of Yell!) We have started the project at the start of term.
We created a website on glow. We created the website because we share links, pictures, videos and documents we have either created or found with the pupil at Cullivoe School. We will also be going on trip over to C and A Thomason (which is a mussel farm), we are also going on a trip to see the Norholm which two of the pupils parents own. The Norholm is a well boat, the Norholm moves fish into different cages.
What we have been doing?
In Art we have been making salt dough sea animals, there is seahorses, eels, fishes, jelly fish, ragworms, seals, stingrays. First of all we started using play dough to get used to shaping dough into sea animals. We couldn’t take the play dough apart and then added it again so we had to use our pushing and pulling techniques. We had about an hour to do that, we made starfish, dolphins, stingrays and seals. We had great fun! The day after P1 and P2 made the salt dough, and then we all got to use the salt dough to make our sea animals; it was very sticky but great fun, we painted the salt dough animals with acrylic paint, acrylic paint can stain your clothes so we had to be care full.
P3 to P7 have fun shaping play dough to make sea animals!
P1 and P2 having great time playing with play dough

Primary 3 to 7 read a book called The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket. It was written by John Boyne and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers. It’s about about a boy who disobeys the laws of gravity and he go’s on outstanding adventures. He goes on amazing adventures to Toronto New York and a lot of other places too. I enjoyed reading the book. At the end we did a competition called The UKLA Competition. In the competition you could choose whether you did a drama or a collage or anything else that was possible. We picked a collage and what we did on the collage was scissors to represent when his mother Elanor cut a hole in a rucksack which held him to the ground, then the pictures of who he met on his journeys what he had in common with them and where he went.

We’re taking part in an Education Scotland Learn Cat project called All the Seas. On Wednesday the 19th of February it nice day so went to the Marina. Why did we…. because we went to collected sea samples. We put on our boots on and plastic gloves because the water could be polluted and we took water bottles because to put the sea samples in. When we’re finished doing the samples then were collecting shells and rocks. We were making a competition who ever thew rock the farthest wins. Charlotte and Me won. Jennifer found seaweed from the sea. I found mussel shells and broken shell. Everybody threw rocks in the sea at the same time and it make a big splash. Then we have to write about it.

We were drawing posters for the Commonwealth games. We had to do athletes posters for athletes rooms it will go into athletes rooms. We had to do it in our sketch books first. We had to draw our people and put colour in the people so we know what colours to colour them in. We had to draw any sport of the Commonwealth games. We had to do it in colouring penciles, as we could not use filet tip pens because you will it in the other side of the paper. we had to do our drawings big so the athletes can see when their in there room. When we all finished our posters we had to vote for the best poster we had to pick eight of them so they can go to the Commonwealth games. We put different things on our posters like the different sports like swimming,running, meddles, trophies, basketball tennis and the year. We also had to write post cards with our address and our name and our school address so the athletes know who did the poster and the school.

Mia, Abby and Kerry made a drama about what they learned from the visit from Nicola Balfour. Most of the lines they said were from cards that Nicola kindly lent to them so they could remember what fish was good . For they also mentioned a tiny bit about having a balanced diet but they really focused in on fish. They also talked about how the fish ends up on your plate. How it starts of being caught, then being harvested, then transported, then at the fish market were factory’s by it, then processing , then to the fish mongers and then you by it and cook it for you tea and that’s how the fish gets your plate. They also discussed what fish go under the categories white fish, oily fish and shell fish.

On Thursday we do P.E. We are doing Badminton. We need to go on a bus to Mid Yell which takes 15 minuets because we do P.E in the leisure centre. Some of us were playing games of badminton in my class. I played Charlotte, Melissa, Kirsty and Lana. I won all of them 🙂 Mr Williamson is the one who teaches the lesson but he leaves some of us to just keep playing games. I enjoy doing badminton. I go to Badminton club every Monday. When we started doing in it P.E then I wanted to join the club. I learned how to do some different serves in the club. We play singles and doubles. Doubles is when you play with a partner. In the club there are about 15 people and in Burravoe Primary School there are Bradley, Charlotte and I.
