School Trip

Energy Recovery Plant

When the school went to the Energy Recovery Plant they had to wear hard helmets and special glasses they were wearing them because they had to be safe. They went to see a big claw that picked up all the rubbish I learned that they take the rubbish to the furnace. A man was controlling the claw and the man took it right up to the window so that they could all see what was in the rubbish. In the rubbish they saw a big pillow. Then they all went to a place where they saw the furnace behind some doors, the furnace was very hot.

After they went to the Energy Recovery Plant they went to the land fill it was very smelly.  There were a lot of seagulls at the land fill I learned the seagulls were looking for food.

Energy recovery plant

On Tuesday we went on a school trip to the Energy Recovery Plant. First we went in the meeting room where we saw a power point about how the plant works. Wee Burnie, a character in the power point, helped us understand what happens in the Energy Recovery Plant. Then all of the school put on hard helmets and glasses, then they went up to the control room and saw the claw they thought it was fun looking in the pit at pillows and Oreo packets that people thrown away. Then we went down stairs and saw an enormous blue tank, we all lined up to see the furnace. When you duck down you can really see the colours in the fire. We all went back on the bus up a hill and we all saw the land fill it was full of rubbish. Then we went down a bit, to the recycling centre, one of the children put a bag in the clothes place and a man helped. Then all of the school went to the District Heating Station we all got torches.

I learned that pipes go around Lerwick and heat up buildings.

I learned that the Plant has a bratz clock.

Baking for Children in Need 2013

On Thursday 14th of November Phoebe and Kerry made blueberry and cranberry muffins using a packet mix. First they washed their hands and then tied their aprons so that if they put their hands in the mix or touched the ingredients then they would have to clean their hands so they wouldn’t get germs in the cakes. Then they measured the butter which was 135 g on the scales and then an adult helped them  melt the butter in a pan and it smelled like popcorn. After they had melted the butter they cracked the eggs and whisked them. Then Phoebe and Kerry mashed the banana in a bowl until the banana turned mushy. Then they mixed the banana, melted butter and the whisked eggs and added the packet mix. They mixed it with a wooden spoon. They got baking trays and put the cake mixture in the oven at 180 C. When they took them out the smelt very yummy. Then they made notes for friends and family. They made stickers to put on the bag of cakes.  On Friday people gave a donation and took a bag of their muffins.

Children in Need Baking

On Thursday the 14th all the pupils of Burravoe School did some baking for Children in Need. Everyone made cookies apart from Phoebe and Kerry and they did gluten and dairy free blueberry and cranberry muffins. Abby and Mia did double chocolate treat cookies. The first step was to wash their hands and put their aprons on because they didn’t want to get their clothes messy. The next step was to weigh out 250g margarine and 140g of sugar.  Then they had to grease 3 trays. Then they had to chop up 160g of chocolate. They had to use scissors. They had to separate 1 egg white and the yolk in cups. Then they had to substitute 50g of cocoa powder for 50g of flour. They had to measure out 250g into the mix. Then add the egg yolk and 2 tsp of vanilla essence in the mix. Then they had to roll it in to little balls with their hands and they made 15 biscuits. Then they had to bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. When they were waiting for the biscuits to cook they made lables for the bags. The labels had Pudsy drawn on them and they wrote “Thank You for your donation, take me!” When they came out then they had to use a spatula to take the biscuits off the tray. Then they had to wait for them to cool. Then they put the biscuits in a box over night.

The next morning they had to take them out of the box and put them in bags and put the labels on the bags. When it was time for peace the chocolate biscuits that they made were all sold out.

Active Small School Sports 2013

P5, 6 and 7 went to Clickamen and got a bus to Lerwick for a sports day. We went with Mid Yell and Cullivoe primary 5, 6 and 7 on the bus we took. There were lots of 1 and 2 teacher schools there.

We were split into different groups and all of the groups are countries in the commonwealth for the commonwealth games in Glasgow in 2014. There were 6. Kerry was in team Scotland, Charlotte and Mia were in team Brunei and Melissa and Leah were in team Jamaica. Team Jamaica won. They won water bottles with Glasgow 2014 on them. Kerry thought it was medals in the box with the water bottles. The rest of the people that didn’t win got to choose for different coloured band with Glasgow 2014 on them.

The sports that was there was 2 athletics, netball, rugby, hockey and bowls.

With the athletics they were athletics were you ran and bounced of a bounce board. Team Scotland and Team Jamaica did the running athletics and Team  Brunei and Team Scotland  did  the long jump and the hurdles and doing football with no feet and throwing beanbags to get on the others side.

In netball we talked about the different types of throws in netball they were chest pass, shoulder pass and bounce pass. After we had practiced our passes we had games of netball and Kerry was a yellow vest and Mia was a blue vest.

In rugby we played with tag belts and you put a belt on and you had two tags and if you got your tags pulled of you had to be a catcher.

In hockey we played a game when you had to hit people’s hockey balls when they were dribbling them and try and get the ball to hit the wall and if it did then the owner that owned the ball was out and the last person in was the queen or king of hockey.

We did bowls as well.

At  the end of the whole sports day they told us the winning team which was Jamaica  and the winning points which was 113 points which was for effort, team work and respect then we went home.

We waited for the ferry to come because arrived early; Charlotte and Melissa sat next to each other, Kerry and Leah sat next to each other and Mia sat at the back. The ferry took 20 minutes over the other side (Toft).  It took 40 minutes to get to Lerwick ( where Active School was being held); It is being held in the leisure centre called The Clickamin.

When we got to Clickamin we found out which group we were in, Charlotte and Mia (were in Brunei), Leah and Melissa (were in Jamaica) and Kerry (was in Scotland). There were 6 teams; Jamaica, Canada, Scotland, Jersey, Brunei and Shetland. We went to get changed quickly!

Team Brunei

First we played Balls; Charlotte and Mia went down the Balls court. Mia and Charlotte picked up 2 brown heavy balls. We had about 6 goes, It was really good fun!

Next we played hockey, we did little warm ups like moving the ball around and keeping it away from people who would knock your ball into the wall. We also played a real game of hockey, but the instructor shouted a number and then we could go and play.

Team Jamaica

We played Rugby first; We played Bulldog which is kinda like catchy game, were you take of the tags which was wrapped around our waist.

Next it was Athletics; first we ran to the bounce board and bounced off the board. Next they put the plastic  hurdles in, we had to jamp over the hurdles while running.
