Shetland Dairies

When we got there, there was a big truck with a tank on the back. Milk was in the large tank we went inside the building we were all quite exited. When we got in the building and a man called Davey told us about the machinery to make cheese, butter and yogurts it was very interesting. Next we went into the experiment room Flora was the assistant she had to hold the top of a spinning thing and Flora helped feed the bugs that was from the milk because when they clean the milk they take the bugs out the milk. Then it was time to go we all really enjoyed it we got to bring back some empty milk bottles and some foods to try.

Water Works

When we got to the water works we parked in the wrong place so we had to walk around the corner to the building. When we got there he showed us the dam and the man said it was 8 metres deep then we went back inside. He showed us the place were all the dirty water was collected. Then he went out the room to switch something on that made all the dirty water go. the water kind of looked like hot chocolate bubbling because all chemicals had mixed together and made all the dirt float to the top then he showed us a place were there were loads of green tanks and that’s were all the chemicals are mixed up then we went to the office where all the control panels are when the red light is on its switched off when the green light is on its on then we went to the experiment room the man had samples of really dirty water kind of dirty water and clean water then he did some samples and showed us some things on how to do it. It was very interesting then we went back to have our snack we had it on the pavement then the bus came to pick us up.

Croft house

When we got to the croft house a nice man called Matt spoke to us about the croft house. We got into groups with one teacher, we had Mrs Fraser in our group. First we got clipboards and a pencil. The first room we went in was the bedroom they had 2 box beds and in each bed there had to be 3 children in each, also in the room there was 1 cot and 1 normal bed it also had one dressing table. It must have been cold for them. The second room we went in was the living room there was also 1 bed in there to, it was really good. The third room we went in was the stable its where the keep all the animals. The forth room we went in was the storage room were the keep things. When we had looked in all the rooms matt told us all to meet in the living room then we went around all the rooms with him then asked him some questions. Next we asked if we could have our lunch outside. Louise our cook mace the school a big pack lunch for all the school with sandwiches, frubes, biscuits, fruit and muffins.

The bus

On the way home the throttle of the bus got stuck so we had to wait until our bus driver David could fix it. But he couldn’t so we just had to get home as well as we could and we were 15 minutes late for getting home.
