First you get a shinty helmet there is a grill that come down on your face so a the ball doesn’t hit your face. Then you get a shinty stick you have to hold it with two hands, shinty is like football but you have a stick and a wee ball. To score you hit the ball a try and get in the goal.

How to do the Canadian Barn Dance
This is how to do the Canadian Barn Dance! First you have to hold a hand with your partner. Next you have to go forward three times and hop. Then you have to go back three times and hop. After that you have to go out clap and hop at the same time. Then you have to go in the way and hold your partners hands. After that you go forward to three then back to three. Finally go round once in a circle.

Rangers Charity Foundaction
Me and my Auntie Fiona completed the walk with Walter Smith who is the Glasgow Rangers manger. Well me and my Auntie Fiona got this letter through the post and it said you were invited to this evenings ceremony and we got there on Monday night and there was loads of people there, after that the ladies would tell us where to sit and we each got to stand in a queue and wait for our names to be called out and a Rangers player presented our medals to us. On Monday afternoon I got to go and get a picture taken with the Rangers players and get their autographs it was really cool but at the same time I was really shy, but the goalkeeper gave my a signed t-shirt that said best wishes Allan.

T Rex
We went onto the internet to find out about T Rex. We found out that he was 6000kg and 12m tall.
We worked out that if 9 and a half of our class stood on each others heads we would be the same height as T Rex.
We also worked out that if T Rex stood on scales we would need to use 12000 500g weights to balance the scales – cool eh!
Learning about dinosaurs
P1/2 visited the school library to get books about dinosaurs. We are going to look at them to find information. We found out that a book which has information in it about lots of different things is called an encyclopedia.
