P7-S1 Transition

This Wednesday was transition in Mid Yell Junior High School. First we had to get to Mid Yell, Once we were there and in the school then we had to sign in. After we signed in then we went into the P6-P7 classroom, all of the P6’s had to go into a different class for the day so that we could do our transition stuff.

The first task was to plan an opening ceremony for Sports Day in 5 minutes and 14 seconds all of our groups came up with very different ideas. We all voted for different ideas and then jumbled them all up so we had a mixture of the ideas which we voted for. Then we had to make big flags in our different groups ( the groups are all different contrys). Me, Peter and Bryden’s group are called The Kyrgyz because our group is based on Kyrgyzstan. We had to make our flag out of a red sheet and yellow fabric, we attached our flag to bamboo sticks with cable-ties.

After we had finished our flags then we had to record an audio claip to put on our groups blogs.  We had to find information which we then had to record so that we could add it into our blog. Then we had to go for dinner I had a baked tottie with cheese on top and grated carrot. We got a bit longer on our blogs then we got to do different activities.

One of the activities were seeing how many different places you could think of with one of the coloures of the olympic rings in their name e.g. one of the olympic rings are green so I could say Greenland. there were other things that we had to think of like different names if animals e.c.t.

One of the other activities to do were French places and medals and the last activitie was jenga with forfits on every block so once you had removed a block then you had to do whatever it said you had to do. Once we had done all of the activities then the winners of the olympic rings sheet were announced  then we went to the Linxhouse shop. We got to get ice creams there but Brydon got a sweetie. Then we went home.

Golf

In May 2012 a lady called Linda came to our school on Tuesdays to do golf with P4 and up. Sometimes we did it outside when to was ok weather but we only went outside twice. I learned a lot about  golf. I learned how to hold the club, what one you use for putting and that one to use if you want to hit the ball far and high. We used the Driver and the Putter. There is left hand Drivers and right hand ones. I used a right handed one because I am right  handed.

Dunrossness School, Jarlshof and Shetland Croft House Museum

  

On the 4th of May Burravoe School went to Dunrossness School, Jarlshof and The Shetland Croft House Museum. First We went to Dunrossness Primary School for Sustainable Development Education Day we got to Dunrossness School we parked up the bus and got out of the bus, and went inside and met Ms Simpson who took us to her room and let us put are jackets in there. Next we went in to the hall. Where lots of people ready for a big announcement. We sat down too and watched 3 children explaining about why we had came to Dunrossness. Once they had finished Ms Simpson told the audience who is here and that she thought that our school wouldn’t be able to come because of the snow but we surprised her by being able to come. Next we were allowed to move are and look at the displays one of the displays was ours. After we had a look around we had to go in groups for workshops. When we were on the ferry to Toft we were told what groups we were we in. I was with Lucy in my group, First Lucy and I had to wait until a Lady called Mrs Hay had rounded up 6 other children. So we had to wait for about 2 minutes. After we saw Mrs Hay with 6 other children we went to our workshop. We made pots out of news paper, It was fun and easy! We got to chose what plants we wanted in our pots. After we had finished our workshop we went in to the hall to get something to drink from the tuck shop, I got a carton of juice. Next we had to go to our next workshop which was where we had to work in groups and work out questions.  It made us think as some of the questions where quite hard. We finished that after 12:00. Lucy and I rushed off to the hall to meet the others. Then we had to grab our coats and go to the bus.  

Jarlshof  

When we got to Jarlshof it was snowing so we had to wrap up warm. We went into the little shop/museum ,where the man let us eat our packed lunch that our cook Elsie had  made for us. I had a tuna sandwich.  We had to chose from cheese, ham, jam or tuna. Which sandwich would you like? After we finished our sandwiches we got to look around the museum. While the others were eating we had a go at grinding wheat to make flour. Next we went outside and explored the houses that the Vikings lived in.

Shetland Croft House Museum  

We went there to also learn about crofters and what their houses used to look like.  Some of us had been there before like me. We saw a peat fire which had peat in it, we saw beds with wooden doors covering them. They also had 2 barns where they kept the animals like horses and pigs. Outside they had a boat shed where they would have kept things.

Jarlshof & Crofthouse Museum

Jarlshof 

On the 4th of May 2012 we went to Jarlshof on a school trip. We had our packed lunch there in the exhibition room inside, the man in the gift shop said we could eat inside because it was wet outside and cold and our sandwiches would get wet and taste horrible . Once we finished then we went outside first we went to the wheel houses then we went to the Viking houses and then the Lairds house and I climbed the stairs to the top it was windy up there and it was very high up. My favourite place was the wheelhouses because it was sheltered in there.

We went to the gift shop at the end and I bought a little lamb.

Crofthouse Museum 

After Jarlshof we went to the Crofthouse Museum. The Crofthouse Museum had a tiny door I didn’t need to duck at all to get in the door. It had box beds   I sat next to the fire in a big chair it was big to me. Then we went in to the bedroom I lied on one of the beds it was comfy it wasn’t a box bed. Then we went outside and looked at the big stack of peats it was big then we went back and looked at the barn it was very dark inside. It was very fun but it was dark. We looked in the garden and then we went back to the bus and took of our boots.
