On Saturday

On Saturday it was the carnival and we were on the alien float and we won for the best themed float. But that day, before the carnival, we did the last finishing touches, for the last week we have been working really hard (because if we were still working we would be working as we speak). When we were on the float we threw out Milky Ways and Mars Bars. But on the float we ate flying saucers sweeties (coloured sherbets). When we got to the weaving shed we got out and they announced the winner and it was……………..US!

My Busy Weekend

On Friday, I went down to the weaving shed. They were getting prepared for the carnival. Merrie Dancers were performing on stage and when they left, Brian Nicolson and Maggie Adamson entered the room. Maggie was in Burravoe for sailing, Brian had brought his guitar and Maggie brought her fiddle. Maggie is one of the best fiddlers in Scotland. They played away and then my dad went up to them and because I had my fiddle with me (I bet you know where this is going) he asked them if I could play with them. I played my main 5 tunes with them.

On Saturday, I had two events. In the morning I had to get up early and get dressed up because I was doing a Disney themed sponsored walk/run. It was towards Yorkhill Childrens Hospital. I was being Tinkerbell, Bradley was being Yoda, Mam was being Tigerlily and Sofia was being Perrywinkle. Sofia was doing 1km, Bradley was doing 5km and mam and I were doing 10km. I was very spagie the next day.

The SAME day I had the carnival. I was wearing a green dress so it was easy to turn into the float theme. The Burravoe bairns float was aliens and we came 1st, the Christmas float came 2nd and the Pirates of Yell Sound came 3rd. We got a prize of £100 for charity. We haven’t decided yet what we will put it towards. Ms Breyley and other helpers cooked a BBQ for everyone. There were Beef Burgers, Chicken Nuggets, Cheese burgers and hotdogs. We had a late night.

When we got there I saw all the other aliens. Auntie Anne brought her radio which was battery powered and mum brought her CD which had lots of songs that sounded spacey.

The Carnival

Most people at our school went to the carnival.

First we had to decide on what theme we would do we picked aliens.  Then make the control panels and bits to stick on the float. Some of the equipment we used included tin foil, sliver pot bits, lights, Milky Ways, Mars bars and Flying saucer sweeties.

When we had finished we had to get costumes.

I got a plane green all-in-one suit  it came with a aliens mask I did not wear the mask because the eye holes were squint. I wore green lighting up hair tubes on a hair band. I painted my face green and I put eye make-up on over my eyes.

Then we were ready for the carnival!

So we put on our costumes and went down the hall to pick up the rest of the alien people and to get told what order we had to go down the road in. When we saw people we threw Milky Ways, Mars bars and flying saucers. Then we went down to find out if we came 1st 2nd or 3rd and UNBALEVALY WE CAME FIRST!

Making The Float

The carnival was on Saturday, before Saturday we had to make a float for the carnival for us to go in. We had a meeting at Honor’s granddad’s shed because the float was at Honor’s granddad’s shed. It was a trailer to start with but then the adults made it have sides and a roof on the float. John, Honor’s dad, put a triangle on the side of the float. Some of the adults put a star sheet on the sides and the roof. The kids were allowed to make some alien things to go in the float the adults did some too. Honor’s mum got some little lights from the nursery so we used them in our alien things. Then it was ready for the carnival.

Yell P7 Came to our School

At 9:45 the p7 came to our school. P6 and down went in to the main class room. The p7 worked really hard they worked for three weeks and some more in between. They were making a presentation in the hall in the middle room. A lot of kids choose monkeys or  apes like the spider monkey and orang-utan.   At play time it was crowded, the zip line and the swings was crowded but it was really fun. At lunch time we had burgers, they were yummy. I think the p7 liked the dinner. After play time they showed the presentation to us. After they showed their presentation, they went to the Old Haa for about 20 minutes. When they came back we had to say bye. Charlotte and Mia went to the door. They got to say bye, the other ones waved in the main class room.

Gardening

Yesterday we did gardening. We planted cereals. Kerry and I planted traditional bere. We counted the seeds in tens. We had 116 seeds but we had to plant 100 seeds in 1 square meter.  We had a 20 seeds in each row. We used the hoe to get a line in the soil. We spaced the seeds to get room. I pushed the seeds gently.

Rainbow Carrots

Bradley, Honor and I used the hoe to get a straight line. We have to it careful because the rainbow carrots seeds are small. We put it next to the pea sticks. I did the top and Mia did the bottom.  I patted the soil to the seeds.
