On the 24th of April all 17 P7s from Yell went to Cullivoe, for first week of transition. We got to do lots of fun activities to get to know each other better than before. It was really fun and we’re all looking forward to next transition day.

Pecky, our Vorwerk cockerel, had got a bit too big for us to keep and was a bit noisy for our neighbours! Claire, who keeps lots of chickens, has 4 Vorwerk hens so she was really happy to give Pecky a new home. So that Chirpy, who is a Colombian Blacktail, won’t be lonely Jennifer gave us one of her Welsummer hens to keep her company. We have called the new hen Barbara.

Today we had a video conference with Leverhulme School. In January we had told them all about Cullivoe Up Helly Aa and today they told us about living on Harris. The pictures of their island are very beautiful. We were able to share about our wildlife; we have lots that are the same but they have deer which we don’t. We all agreed that we have lots of sheep!

We are very proud of our bowls team who came third in the annual bowls competition. They were only knocked out of their semi-final by 1 point!
Thank you to everyone in the Shetland Bowls community who organised the lessons and the competition.

On World Book Day we had to dress up as a character from a book using the clothes that is in our dressing up box at school. I was a witch. After you’ve gotten your clothes done then you need to start making an accessory, my accessory was a wand that was made from a card tube, glitter and masking tape. We also did a 55 word challenge to write a story only using 55 words.

On 15/3/19 it is Red Nose Day and we are going to be dressing up in as many dressing up clothes in one minute we are going to do it one after the other. We are going to do it at 11:30. We are hoping to raise a few pounds we don’t expect hundreds of pounds as there are only 11 of us in our school. We raised £27.34 we were really pleased with that amount.

On Wednesday 13th of March Iain Clark from Scottish Parliament came for the afternoon to talk about how the Scottish Parliament works and where it is. After we got Clickapads to answer questions for quizzes. After we chose a party to represent; they were the Music Party and The Animal Welfare Party. After we had to come up with two reasons why we need to be elected. After we chose a Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer had a wooden hammer called a gaveland he will bang it when a new law has passed/fallen. We did a debate if we should do an hour of PE Everyday. The groups had to think why it is a good thing and why it was a bad thing. Then after everybody voted it is good or not. It was yes. Then after it had to be sent to the Queen to be made into a law. It had to have a royal seal on it to keep it protected. Then it was sent back to the Parliament.

These past couple of terms P4 to P7 have been doing knitting with Mary. We are all doing something different, what we are doing is wrist warmers, lambs, penguins, pin cushions and scarfs. We have learned how to do purl and how to cast on and off and how to do normal knitting. When we first started we did bookmarks then we did chicks. On the wrist warmer we had to do a pattern and use three needles; we are all aiming to do a Fair Isle pattern.

P4-P7 have made land yachts. The cars can ride very fast down the ramp even on the flat floor. Our land yacht is made out of something called corraflute and the axles are made out of something called doweling and the axles have straws on them so they can move with the wheels on them. The sail on our land yachts is made out of corraflute to but it is stuck on to the bottom with masking tape.

This year P4- P7 entered the competition, everyone else did a drawing as well just to hang up on the wall. In the John Byrne Competition there is no theme so everyone just drew what they wanted, but the only rules are you can not use anything other than pencils and colouring pencils, also you can’t draw from a picture you can only get inspiration from them if needed.
