Ma Grunny’s Cat

Ma Grunny’s cat his a muckle cat, twa metres lang, at least,

It’s  crabbit is the day is lang, a contermashios beast,

Its een are black, its lugs half-chawn, it spits and glowers aa day,

It’s nae the kinda beastie, yon, wi fit ye’d wint t’play.

It’s coorse, a cyard, it’s clivver tee, mair sleekit than the lave.

It’s jist the beast tae sort me oot fin I shid misbehave.

I’ve nivver seen ma grunny’s cat, an at’s an afa shame

Cause every time I visit her, the cat’s awa fae hame.

This year we all performed in a whole school Nativity, Christmas around the World. Here are a few photos  from the church today.

On Friday we had our Christmas party. We danced the Virginia Reel, Boston Two Step and Gay Gordons, and played party games, followed by jelly and ice cream and a visit from a VIP! Thank you to Katrena for taking the photos 🙂

A very difficult choice this week, but I have picked 6 pieces of writing to enter into the challenge. Well done to all of you.Scroll down the page to read them.

Grandparents are important because they’re family. They can help you with your problems. They love you. If it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t be here! Here’s what my grandparents are like: they are very good to me. My granddad died recently but I really liked him. He talked to me about his company- that’s why I like diving, boats and oilrigs. I did gardening with him and it was a lot of fun. He took me out shooting- he was very good. At the summer he died and he was only 66. I loved him a lot. That’s why grandparents are important.

I remember the time my grandparents and me were at Wrae Lake, a beautiful lake. Me and granda were skimming stones. Grandparents are important because they help you when you stumble or trip. They babysit you when your mum is at work. They take you places and play with you. They make you happy when you are sad, make you a sandwich when you are hungry, they love you and give you hugs when you are upset. They give you nice Christmas presents. My granny pinches my cheeks.

On Friday went to my Granny’s for a sleepover.It was lashing rain. I stomped up the stairs, annoyed. I switched  the TV to BBC news. It said that there was going to be a flood in Turriff. I got my snooker stick to reach my notebook and it slipped from the shelf. I caught it, opened it and wrote a title: ‘Granny.’ I remembered my Granny and I feeding the ducks. I wrote down grandparents are important because they give you treats and take you to the park and let you go on the Wii and most of all they spend time with you.
