P5-7 Braemar School

Our project this year was to open our own business and we were selling Santa pom-poms,wreaths, waffle lolly, marshmallow snowmen, reindeer poo, face pant and tattoos, gift tags, wrapping paper, dog treats also eco bags and stars. It was on Tuesday 10th of December 2019. It was so fun and we will love to do it again and also we made a big profit of over £500.

Primary 1-3 have been learning about  old and new toys including pull back cars and wind up toys work  

they have also been making a present for there families (it’s a secret) and have been learning how a solid 

turns into a liquid and then gas. They have enjoyed learning about it so far. 

This week Rm 3 received their first message from our Book Penpal, Lexi Rees, author of Eternal Seas. She told us that she’s currently reading  The Accidental Time Traveller by Janis Mackay, and she gave us a challenge. She asked us to write about a time travelling mechanism- how might someone travel through time? For our ‘Connect 4’ comprehension task we talked about all the time-travelling  ideas we’ve read  about or seen in films- Dr Who’s Tardis, Back to the Future’s DeLorean car, Biff, Chip and Kipper’s Magic Key and lots more.

Then we set to work. A few people managed to get their ideas onto the blog this afternoon, but the rest will follow early next term. Hopefully Lexi will find time to read a few of the ideas- they might even give her ideas for her next book!

As John walked deeper into the maze of rusty and demolished cars he came to a corner. There was a 1970 chevy nova a little rust on the arches, but the rims they were so big it looked like there was a jet engine behind it! When John paid for the car it was only £150 bargain! He got onto the motorway as he was driving 200 miles back to Glasgow. As he was rummaging through the glove box he found a CD that was called top 50 greatest club anthems. He thought this will pass the time.He put the CD in the stereo. It was so loud who ever had this car must have been a raver. He turned it down from 100 volume to 30 but he turned up the bass.It was only 50 miles to Glasgow suddenly one song came on and the car started sounding like a jet engine. The wheel folded. John was in an internal vortex!!! Ahhh whats happening?

Chapter 2  This is not 1997

John time travelled from 1997 to 1902 everyone was looking at his car. A little girl said that car looks so modern!

I was in my house watching youtube on my phone and I saw a video about looking in your  house to find secret rooms. I watched more and it showed me some places the hidden rooms could be, like  behind a painting or in a loft or in an old closet  . So I put all the information together and went looking . I went to sleep thinking where should I look now. I  LOOKED Everywhere! Wait I did not look in the garage. I thought I should stay in bed but Na Lets go! I called my friend to come to my house . He asked my mom if it was OK to come over. We went to the garage and we looked and looked . We found some old boxes and guess what I made? I made a robot suit  for me and my friend so we went inside, and we played for a while . We played and played and then suddenly a cool scanner came up at my face like a laptop screen.In the middle there was one big button and it said teleport and it was flashing red . I tried to take the helmet off but it was too late.It sent me through loads of portals and I landed and it felt like bubblegum.

I was playing a game called apex legends and there is a girl called wraith.She has a machine on her arm. It makes her vision goes purple and where she ends a purple portal appears.  If she started but she can go back in it.It is really good when she sees an enemy she can use the portal and her squad can help her but she has another power that she can go really fast.

When I woke up one day I went downstairs.There was this weird object  on the table. It looked like a time machine but I was not sure. Then it started beeping beep beep beep. Then red lights started making popping noises pop pop.  

Then I went  to check it. I looked around the object and  finally I found the button I was looking for.I pressed it and a voice said you can choose to go to the future or the past. I was right- it is a time machine. Then I said to the time machine I would like to go to the future. 

What is  the reason for your choice? Mm I didnt think about that. Then I said I would like to go to the future to get the newest console. The voice said press the future button so you can travel to the future. 

The ground started shaking around me  then a portal appears out of  nowhere.

There was a cupboard that nobody dared to use ever since Morag Toerag went missing. But one day a new person opened it and vanished. She found herself in a box that was as shiny as the sun smiling down on you.

It was full of dials that went buzz buzz buzz as you pressed them. The dazzling buttons danced around she thought “you have been in this  situation 1 million times before .” So she pressed the buttons. There was a bang bang bang however there was a ding ding ding.

She got the box and she heard a roar. She knew what was above her but nevertheless she looked up and there was a huge dinosaur above her. Rapidly she ran back to the box but it was under the enormous foot of  the dinosaur. ” Please pleasant charming delightful good-natured  dinosaur can you get off my box?” she enquired politely. “Roar,” bellowed the dinosaur. It groaned and stepped off.

She got in and travelled back to the present day and she never went near the cupboard again.

On Thursday 3rd October 9:15 -10:15 we had an open morning at Braemar primary school. We shared our work with parents and our community.

First I showed my dad the classroom. Then I showed him my jotters and he liked all the work I did. After that I showed him all the wall displays in the corridor.

Meanwhile others were showing there parents around. Some other people showed Simon and Geva Blackett around.

Before that my dad had tea and our apple pie muffins and he said they were delicious.

We had 2 tally charts 1 was about how many people crossed the main road to get to school. The other was about which bag you thought was a better size.

Then we had feedback forms. One said “The children drawings was my favourite part.
