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.

Grandparents are important because they are helpful, because they teach you how to bake cakes and pie. They might knit you a cosy jumper which most of the time you don’t like but you have to wear. A granny would look well nice, with curly  hair, a woolly jumper, nice slippers and an old granny’s bag.

Grandparents are important because they love you and they help you. Everybody loves their granny. Most grannies say, ‘Yoohoo, Sweetie. Come here and give your granny a kiss!’ Granddads might say, ‘Come on, give your granddad a huggy wuggy.’

They might bake with you, sing with you, knit you a spotty jumper or stripy gloves that are yukky. They might expect you to show them how to work the internet. They think that you are helpful and that is right! You should help your grandparents because they’re old and you should respect them. She might bring you sweeties and apples.

Grandparents are important because they are part of the family. They help look after you. They take you places. They give you your favourite foods. They help you when your mum and dad can’t. You get a sweetie every time you go to their house and stay up late… sometimes until 1am. When they are on holiday they let you watch their tv. But most of all they love you and care about you. Sometimes it is scary to be so far away from your mum and dad but you have to remember that your grandparents are there.
