Ready to post!

The parcel is ready to post and we are ready to email our ePals at Ridgeview Elementary School.

We are so excited!

Packing the box

We have put together a box of interesting things from Orkney to send to Colorado. We hope the children at our link school enjoy opening the box and discovering what is inside.

The Sanday lighthouse

This is the lighthouse on the island of Sanday which is in Orkney. There are so many lighthouses in Orkney because there are lots of dangerous waters.

St Magnus Cathedral

Here is a picture of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall.
It was built by the Vikings in 1137.

Orkney is a mainly flat group of islands apart from Hoy. We have very few trees and a lot of green farmland.

Old Man of Hoy

This is the Old Man of Hoy. It is a 450ft high sea stack of red sandstone.
