Here I am with 5b and their teacher Mrs. Gardner before I set off to Straslund in Germany. Stralsund looks like a lovely town on the Baltic Sea with a beach like Dundee.

Teddybarns1 has arrived in Shetland. It is very cold, rainy and snowy but the boys and girls of Olnafirth School have made me very welcome. They have given me a jersey and hat to keep me warm when we went outside to play in the snow.

Up-Helly-Aa

Up-Helly-Aa is a viking festival which is celebrated in Shetland every January. The people buiild viking ships and dress up as Vikings for an evening parade and then burn the ships. I had such fun at this festival.

Here I am with P4b and their teacher Mrs. McCorgray before I set off to the Shetland Islands to stay with the boys and girls at Olnafirth Primary. I am hoping to take part in the Up-Helly-Aa Viking Festival.
