We are excited to announce we have successfully completed a 2 day peer mediation course! 14 pupils have attended and are ready to deliver a new peer mediation service. Peer mediation will help to solve problems and make this school even more friendly and a great school to learn and grow.
Bus wanted
Holywood would like an old double decker bus – for the play ground and reading and playing we do not want to drive it around
the shed
The shed is so colourful it makes my eyes explode what would you do to make the shed assume and cool.
The colour of the shed is blue and pupil yellow it’s so pretty.
We are going to ask some of the staff what they think of the new shed.
Mrs McCutcheon said “There are no distractions! It is a nice little private area. I love working in it and the children work really hard.”
Mrs Queen said “The children love it and it is a nice little airy space to work in”
Mr Payne said ” A nice, quiet area where children can get on with their work”
Miss Dale said” It is a peaceful place to work, you can get some reading done! The only problem is the shed can be full of other learners and you can’t always get in it!”
We also asked some of the pupils:
Dylan: said it’s a nice area to get on with work.
Gavin: it’s small to work in.
Ella: it’s nice and colourful to work in.
Writing – this week at Holywood!
In writing we have been narrating the Insect Race with Miss Dale. We have been editors and have read and corrected our writing – checking spelling, sentences and the quality of our work! Now we are publishing and we hope to show them to our parents!
Meanwhile p3 and p4 have been writing poetry with Miss Tweedie. P1 and p2 have been doing Wee Books with Miss Stapleton.

Playground
In the playground we are getting new stuff like a slide and a climb in frame. It will be lots of fun but well be getting it in summer when it is sunny and hot we hope and if not we will be sad. We hope it will be before the Easter holidays. Maybe earlier, we hope. and I think every body will play on it I will be playing on it so will Gavin, Ryan, Dylan, Hayden and Greg.

litter
there is to much litter in the school. We have been trying to get rid of it but it have not worked. People left rubbish in the den I am refuting to clash of dens it’s a blog. it would be great if you see someone littering tell them to put it in the bin.
Kenyan Round House
The Kenyan round house is damaged a lot most of the mud has came off. The roof is falling a part from all that wind the willow sticks have came off. It will need repaired a lot.
So if any parents could help with it that would be great!
Thank you.

The Playground
At Holywood school our playground is a little different from others (I think.) Because we have two epic hills that are good to sit on in the summer and have your lunch on the top. We have bolders next to our sand pit that we jump from bolder to bolder on. We also have 2 willow dens one snake like shape. We really want to get a tank or an old routmaster London bus.

NEW SOAP
At Holywood the girls and boys have new soap which is –jellybean , original soap! They both smell really nice. We have to wash our hands when we either get dirty or before lunch, also after art – when we get messy with paint.
We enjoy having new soap and new smells.
It is very important to wash your hands because you could spread germs to other people
