Confident, Creative Learners with Big Ambitions. Kind to each other. Kind to the Planet.
On the 22nd of march 20017p4-7 of Holywood primary went to king George for there most terrible day of their life… p4-5 boys ran first for 800 metres then p4-5 girls also for 800 meters.
Isla was the only one to run for p6-7 girls for 1200m then p6-7 lined up I finished 4th place Dylan came 24th and Zak came 31st
it was excruciatingly terrible I hated every bit it was ballistic as well as rainy and freezing it was so cold you could get frostbite
Today the p4-7 took part in the annual cross country at King George V sport centre in Dumfries. It was raining heavily but we had to sadly still do it. I came 26th and last year I was 45th so that is a massive improvement. when it began raining really heavily we decided to go back to school. The bus could only take 16 so we went in two lots. One of the parents were our bus driver and we are all very grateful for the time took.

Today on Newsround:
Tourists and a camera crew on Mount Etna made a lucky escape when the volcano let out an almighty explosion! Mount Etna is located in Italy and the people living there must have been in shock. Mount Etna is one of the worlds most active volcanos and it is quite normal for it to lose its temper. Rebecca Morrel who experienced this occurrence said: “it was a very lucky escape for all on Mount Etna yesterday (16th March 2017) and it was one of the scariest encounters I have ever had. When we were running for our lives a huge rock sizzled right through my sleeping bag and now I have a huge hole in it!” The explosions on Mount Etna are some of the most unpredictable on Earth and scientists are still trying to figure out how to predict Mount Etnas huge and dangerous eruptions.
Scared of spiders? Well hopefully not anymore! Researchers have found out spiders are helping humans by their diet… BUGS!! They eat an astonishing 8 million tons of insects a year! They are helping us by eating the bugs because ants and fly’s cause disease and we don’t want to catch anything… do we?
Now to a rare happening in Suffolk. two twin baby horses (foals) were born. There mother Rose seems very proud of her children. One is called Tilly the other called Lilly.
Now over in Australia a baby hippo has made his first ever appearance with his mum. She is a pygmy hippo and there are less than 3000 left in the wild. She has not yet got a name but a competition is being held to help decide a name for her.
That’s all from this weeks Newsround

Today we have been learning to use Publisher to make posters in P.1-3, editing colour/font and adding clip art. We have made Fire Safety posters in pairs, using what we have been discussing in our Be Safe topic.
Here are some of the finished posters.
This term pupils in P.1-3 have been learning about different types of weather, and they have carried out some research in groups into different types of severe weather like tornados, droughts and floods. They have also been learning to make Power Points so they presented their facts as a slideshow.
These are some of their Power Point Presentations.
