Everyone was excited about going on the bus. Our first stop was in the centre of Lerwick to see the jarl squad.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was so well behaved and patient waiting for the Vikings to arrive. Then we saw them marching down the street right past where we were standing. We couldn&#8217;t believe how loud the bagpipes were!<\/p>\n<p>We got a good spot on the pier and we could see the big red galley-boat. We heard the Vikings singing and saw their outfits up close. They had axes and sheilds with a dragons head on them.<\/p>\n<p>After that we all got back on the bus and went to Clickimin Centre for snack and soft play. On the way it started hailing and we were lucky to be able to get exercise inside, away from the wild weather. We really enjoyed running around the huge area and climbing over the obstacles and sliding down the slopes. We had big beach balls which we kicked around too. Miss Laurenson got a big speaker and we listened to music while we played.<\/p>\n<p>Soon it was time to go back to nursery and we were all hungry for lunch after our big trip.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much to all the parent helpers who joined us and made the outing possible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4007\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4007\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption
