In school we have been learning sports leadership with Mrs Ramsey for P.E.

Every mondayfor the past 5 weeks p6/7 have been doing sport’s leadership with Mrs Ramsay. Some of the weeks they were talking and other weeks they were teaching p1/2’s games they made in there groups. One of the group’s games was an obstacle course and another group’s game was dodge-ball with a twist so every time you got hit by the ball you would lose an arm or a leg.

They were doing this so that we would gain new skills that we didn’t have.They  learnt a few good things like don’t make it too complicated, don’t be scared to shout and don’t think there amazing at everything.Mrs Ramsay gave us feedback every week they finished our games with the p1/2’s.

They have enjoyed the  past 5 weeks with Mrs Ramsay and we hope to do more tasks with her.

I think my grand parents are ninjas because they watch ninja turtels that means they can do back flips and the splits if you se my grandparents get ready to run because they got a mopility scooter and there  cool rinkills and there scabby toe nails they are awsome. who wouldnt want to have my grandparents and they have a pistiol in there nickers like the Roald Dahl verison of Red Riding hood and they were fat in there day they were fater than Andre The Giant and  they had to house because they coudint fit in the house and thats the story of my Grand parents.

Grandparents are important because they spoil me with sweets and cakes unlike my parents. My parents ALWAYS EMBARRASS ME no matter where I am, I could be siting in the park with ice cream and my mum would come along and say something like “Oh dear, you better take your medicine for your bad breath accident.” I would get bullied at school for my mum saying things like that. Although one day at school I was in science when there was a  bang, in among the smoke was my grandma, she was collecting me to go to the dentist.

Grand parents are important because they are super ninjas. They can also get you off school very easily they are awesome. But mine can fly not many can fly mine is special. I sometimes tell them to blow up things and they do it with their super powers. They live in a floating house over Islay that is why they need to be able to fly so they can get home to their house in the sky.

Grandparents are important because they can ride on tiny scooters and eat ice cream they are the best. I always thought that grandparents were un cool a lot of people think there grandparent are cool but i think they are important i really do. sometimes i go to the park and hey follow me they always take their bikes and helmets. i quite enjoy the company and i enjoy my peace and quiet, everything i do they come in an say what you doing sweetie and i say nothing granny but i like them they are my grandparents,

My grandparent’s are ninjas only because my mum said grand parent’s are important because they are ninjas. This Sunday I’m going to see granddad and grandma because it is my 11th birthday.  I walked in side there was about 1 or 2 cakes sitting on a few plates. I walked into the living room and they were in their ninja suits doing exercises like stretches and balancing on their head.   When they found out I was there they jumped  up and shouted “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”.  They gave me the fright of my life and I fell over or maybe it was an explosion.

Grandparents are important because they have supernatural powers and can easily blow up anything they want, including you .  So watch out.  They can shoot lasers through you; throw you all the way to space  and brain wash you.  They even brained washed Timmy Addison to eat brussel sprouts!!!  They also sent Graham Berlin hurtling to space.  They shoot lasers  through the Library.  And don’t think you’re safe.  Grandparents are evil creatures. Don’t think this is fake! My granny sent me on a  trip to space.  Grandpa  on  the other hand shot lasers through me and I had to get surgery.

Grandparents are important because they are old and a family member! Everyone loves grans because they give you sweets and give you a hug. BUT…. my granny is the BEST! She gives me a ride to school on her skateboard and gives me £40 to spend on sweets! Everyone at school is jealous of me! So i went home and built a Super-granny potion! In it was: a bottle of butterflies, can of super fizz and a cat. I got on my grans skateboard and sprinkled the potion over town. Now everyone can have a granny as cool as mine!

On Monday it is bonfire night and I hope everyone is safe so you have to wear gloves when you have a sparkler and stay back from fire works before they go off and hope there is no midgies so you won’t get bitten and get lots of spots on your legs or face! Who is scared of fireworks? Because if you are scared you just have to face your fears. By Eleanor 🙂

On the 23th of October Port Ellen Pimary School had a beach clean the whole school was there. There was a pick up truck and there was a man from Rejig called Dave Protherough. We cleaned the whole beach. I had a great time and I think the other boys and girls had a good time too.

The Scot-a-land play was on 23rd of October nearly all of our school went, it was really good there was a man and a lady and it was all about Scota’s crown and how it broke. It took about and 1 hour and 30 minutes. I really enjoyed it,  they pretended to be other people like there was a police officer and wee Johnny. People enjoyed it as well.

On Sunday 14th October the Port Ellen Primary Gaelic Choir were at the pier at 9:15 am getting ready to go on the ferry. Then we got on the ferry and had our lunch.
After that we got on the bus. I was having so much fun. I was sitting next to Abbie and we were playing games and listening to music. Time was flying by.
When we got to Hunters Quay it was nearly time to go swimming , so we went to our lodges and came back to the swimming pool and had lots of fun.
We had dinner and it was delicious. Then we went to practise for the next day because the competition was on. We finished and it was getting late so we had to go to Lorna’s lodge and get our packed lunches.
We took 30mins to find our lodge. I was tired. So I had some juice and went to bed.
The next day I was excited when we were having breakfast.
Before we went to the competitions we went to the soft play. The other people that were doing a solo or poem went to their competition.
Then in the afternoon the choir went to our competitions and we won. We were on TV and we were great. After that we got some chips and went on the bus.
The next day we all went to the soft play and we had so much fun. Then we went shopping and I bought lots of stuff. We had lunch and went back to the shops. Then we got back on the bus and went to the ferry. This time we got a trolley to put our luggage on.
On the ferry we had dinner and we had lots of fun. We sang with Bowmore Choir and we got piped of the ferry by Abbie’s dad. I was glad to be home.
The mod was fantastic. I am going to stay in the choir and go to Paisley next year.

Here are some more of our stories for the 100 Word Challenge, which this week had to include the sentence ‘the temperature dropped suddenly and…’

One sunny day in Iceland a man was taking his dog for a walk. When with out warning THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED SUDDENLY AND the man gave out a weak squeal. The sky went black, lights glinted in the darkness. Lights flashed on and windows illumined with light. The man sat in a corner shivering beneath a lamppost. A torch light appeared in gloom. The shadow came into view. Then a voice spoke, “Why are you out here without a torch and warm clothes, didn’t you know this is the day it goes dark for six mouths? Now lets get you inside.”

One  day I was playing at the beach with my cousin and my brother because it was very sunny.  Then I felt the tips of my fingers starting to freeze and suddenly the temperature dropped and everything went dark and cold.  So I went up to my tent and I was looking out the door trying to find the the sun. It was nowhere to be seen and I started to get worried and then it went all bright again and then I realised it was just the clouds covering the sun so I went back out to play.

There was a hobo called Jacob who only had only a cardboard box to sleep in and a fire to keep him warm.  He searches in bins looking for food and has an empty tin of beans looking for money from passing pedestrians.  Then one night he was lying in his cardboard box with his fire blazing away but then the temperature dropped suddenly and then he looks over to see a fire engine putting it out.  Jacob went over to the fireman and asked him why he put the fire out but he didn’t reply.  And that was the death of the hobo’s fire.

Bob was  walking home from catching some fish in the south seas,he was about a mile away from home and   then the temperature dropped suddenly and before he knew it there was a blizzard following him. The temperature dropped a hole 21 degrees which was far to cold for Bob,he kept on plowing through the snow until he was standing on the coldest bit of ice he had ever stood on he broke through the ice and he found lots and lots of freezers and that is how he saved the day.

It was a normal Monday winters day and i went out to call on my friend Albert. But it wasn’t a normal winters day. It was really hot. When i reached his house he was at his door.”I was just coming for you” said Albert.”Now you don’t need to” replied Jim. Then we went to play football. At that point it was still really hot. It was half an hour later and they were still playing football. Just at that point the temperature dropped suddenly and it started to pour down with snow. Then we went and played the Xbox all day.

Once was a little girl who went down to the beach it was a scorching hot day! She was making a sand castle when the temperature dropped suddenly and she looked up in devestaion to find that a giant cloud was covering the sun. Rosie was so cold that she ran in to the water to warm up but the water was even more cold that she screamed! She was swimming out when suddenly something bit her but it was only a crab so she went to get a plaster when the sun came out so she went to finish her sand castle.

It was a general, quite mid-week day at the Ardbeg distillery some workers were checking on warehouse number 3, as they closed the door they forgot about the self locking mechanism to stop robbers, so when the went in the were locked in but they were lucky that they did check on the warehouse because in the left corner the was a huge raging inferno. They banged at the door but there was no answer then the sprinklers came on blasting water onto them the temperature dropped suddenly and they all were chilled to the bone.

It was a hot sunny day when I was at the beach playing with my friends.  We made a sand castle and went out in the water the water was cold and my toes were turning up under the cold water. We went back to make the the sand castle it was getting bigger every second I went for a lye on the beach and …  the temperature dropped suddenly and I shot up of the beach. My friends had poured buckets of water all over me.  I dived into the warm sand under the sun then In shouted at my friends and shot of home.

On the 29th of September Port Ellen Primary School had a car wash and table top sale to raise funds for the new shed.  There were also some stalls inside where people sold things. As well as all this there was some baking that was homemade and very tasty. At another stall the teenagers that were going to Venezuela were there raising money.  We washed lots of cars and some of us got very wet.  We made £266, so thanks to all who came.

Primary 6&7 have been taking part in the 100 word challenge, a blog which provides an idea for a story each week that must be written in 100 words or less.  This week the story had to contain the words GREEN TINY PIANO EXPLODED SORRY.  Read our stories and see what you think.

One day in school our math teacher exploded and we were delighted that our teacher exloded because we can play the green drums and the tiny flute.  We were sorry that we never brought in the tiny giraffe and we got a new maths teacher who was a rabbit and he can play the piano and nobody likes him because he has been bully.  Every day of maths is a nightmare just knowing you are  in the same room as the new bully. Why did our teacher explode why!!!!!!!!!

It was night when I was thinking about my new green piano. I was so excited about
getting it so I went to bed because it was going to arrive in the morning. It
is day now so I bolted down the stairs and there it was, my new piano! The box was tiny but as long as it was a piano.
I ripped the box open and took it out it was so exiting I’ve always wanted a
piano. I exploded in happiness as I  started playing the piano. Then my mum woke up and started shouting at me so I said sorry…
