Killer Whales spotted in Cullivoe

2 Comments

Today just after break we got a surprise phone call to tell us there was killer whales at the Cullivoe pier so we got a bus to take us to where we could see them. They were on the move so we went to Kellister where we got lots of pictures and videos of them. For most of us this was the first time we have seen killer whales and it was very exciting!! There were some females, a bull and baby whales.  There were circling the rocks trying to get seals that were around there. We think they got ones.

Here is a video that Ben took of the Killer Whales today. See if you can count them all. We counted 9 but there were apparently 14 altogether.

P7 Transition

Today the primary 7s from Burravoe and Mid Yell came up to Cullivoe for our first transition day. First we got put into groups and we had the chance to get to know each other. We had to think of a group name and a chant. After break we had to complete a ‘who’s who’ activity and match up pictures of all the Mid Yell staff with their name and job title. We then learned more about Yammer and how we can use this to communicae throughout this project. The main reason for today was to start off our project which is organising a trip for our class. In our groups we have to work out where we want to go, how much it will cost, what we are doing, where we will stay, food and how we will get there. We have all come up with a rough idea and are really excited to discuss this more and plan it. We all had a fantastic day and worked really well together. We are looking forward to our next transition day in Mid Yell in the few weeks.

This term we have started the daily mile again. Primary 1-3 complete half a mile and primary 4-7 complete a full mile. We can walk, run, cycle, skooter or roller blade. We have signed up to an online virtual walk on a website called World Walking, this is where you add in the number of miles you all complete and virtually walk around various parts of the world. We have chosen to walk the length of Canada. You can see our progress through the link below.
