Month: June 2015

Big thank you to Kaylan and Aidan’s dad for the genius roof lifters for the tree house. Miss Dale now needs to get out her sewing machine and modify the canvas roofs over the summer.

Thank you!!

We had our graduation assembly today at Holywood.

Congratulations to all the award winners!

Miss Stapleton and I found it very hard to make decisions as we have excellent, hard working pupils to choose from.

We also had some blast from the past pictures of our P7 pupils although it was difficult to see with the big screen (plans to improve next session) and we want to put some on the blog for you to aahh and chuckle over.

We will of course ask the P7 pupils to choose!!

Miss Dale

A belated well done to Lewis, Blair, Braiden and Scott (that is the order they ran the relay race in!!) who got through to the final of the small schools sprint relay competition.

We learned that the pressure is different when you are competing against strangers.

We learned that we need to keep practising to get faster and faster.

Thank you to Keira who attended the event and did not run!

Keira will be running next year and hopes that others will join her!

Thank you to the sprint team – we were all very proud of your efforts!

Miss Dale

Three Roller Coasters at Alton Towers have been closed because they were unsafe. There was a crash on the Smiler two carts crash together and 16 people were injured 4 were vey serious a 17 year old girl hurt in the accident lost her leg. At Alton Towers they have decided to close rides similar to the Smiler did you know 388 small injures happen in theme parks.

I was reading first news and found that the water we drink is wee’d out of dinosaurs the water we have has been here for over 4.5 billion years . there is a video that shows you about all this watch the video at firstnews.co.uk  so the next time you have a drink think about the t rex that drunk it first.

The egg shaped pod is 2.5 by 4.5 metres and comes with electricity and hot water.  It comes with solar cells, a wind turbine and a rainwater collector. Also there is a toilet, shower, mini-kitchen, bed, table and storage space.

They are only one in existence right now. The pod can be taken anywhere in the world.

Alton Towers reopened this week after it was closed following a crash on the Smiler roller coaster.

 Merlin Entertainments, who own the park, had also closed three other roller coasters at their theme parks for safety reasons – Saw at Thorpe Park, as well as Dragons Fury and Rattlesnake at Chessington World of Adventures. The safety of roller coasters is being questions following the crash, which injured 16 people, four seriously. On Monday it was announced that a 17-year-old girl hurt in the accident had lost her leg. Now the Health and Safety Executive, who work to reduce injuries, are carrying out an investigation into the crash. It gave First News figures which show that there were 388 small injuries across all of Britain’s amusement parks and theme parks in 2013/14 – with no injuries at all.

Opinions

Logan: “Can’t Believe it! How could that have happened? They should have tested the ride first!”

Kye: “I think they should make their rides safer.”

New research shows that the brighter the ladybird the more poisonous it is to it’s predators. Also the more colourful it is the less likely it is to be attacked by predators.
