This week the children of Fair Isle Primary went on a trip to Lerwick for two nights, staying at the Anderson High School Halls.\u00a0 \u00a0The plane was delayed on Monday so unfortunately we missed our first swimming lesson but we made it in time for dinner then went to Clickimin Pool for an evening swim.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The following morning, we went back to the pool for an hour\u2019s swimming lesson. After a well-deserved snack then an early lunch, we headed into town to visit Harry\u2019s toy shop to spend our pocket money and have a play at the park.<\/p>\n

After that, we visited Lerwick Police Station and met Sergeant Alan and Constable Anya.\u00a0 We had a tour of the police station.\u00a0 We learned about the equipment they carry and were able to try on Alan\u2019s vest \u2013 it was very heavy! Next we met Bravo the dog who works for the police.\u00a0 We learned about his job to sniff out illegal substances. \u00a0He was very friendly and enjoyed some belly rubs.\u00a0 One of the most exciting parts of the visit was exploring the prison cells!\u00a0 There was only a toilet and a mattress on the floor! We could see our friends on the cameras.\u00a0 We had our custody booking photos taken and some of us had our finger prints done too.\u00a0 Anya showed us the police van that had a cell in the back.\u00a0 She switched on the lights and sirens!\u00a0 Lerwick police station was definitely a highlight of the trip!<\/p>\n

Shortly after that, we made our way down to Aa\u2019 Fired Up for a pottery session.\u00a0 Freyja designed a coaster, Harris a trinket pot thing, Heidi a unicorn, Luca a sign and Ander a racing car.\u00a0 They will go into the kiln in the next week so we will get them another day.\u00a0 We enjoyed some fudge and a drink too.<\/p>\n

After dinner, we went to Fjara for ice-cream and met Luca and Ander\u2019s dad, Guillermo, who was in Lerwick training to be a retained firefighter for the isle.\u00a0 After that we went back to Halls to watch a movie then bed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The following morning, we were up early and packed as we had to be in Aith for 0930 for our climbing wall session. We met Kevin who showed us the equipment and some techniques then it was time to climb up to the top.\u00a0 Everyone, except Heidi and Gillian, had a turn (we were very proud of Hollie too) or two.<\/p>\n

It was a lovely day so we explored Michael\u2019s Wood which is a fabulous place with trees and fun trails to follow!\u00a0 We loved it so much we stayed there for a picnic lunch and another play before heading to Tingwall Primary School for an afternoon visit.<\/p>\n

A very friendly welcome party was there to greet us for a play at lunchbreak then it was time to go to class for a lesson.\u00a0 Freyja met other Primary 7s who were also transitioning to AHS after the summer which was very exciting for her!\u00a0 It was brilliant fun to experience a bigger school and to make new friends.\u00a0 Shortly after, it was time to head to the airstrip and make our way back to Fair Isle. We had an amazing trip!<\/p>\n
