today we are doing the ration challenge I don’t know if we are but I hope we do but if we don’t I will be sad because we won’t have the cooking skills we need for high school and more but last Sunday there was a lots of snow I the love snow and hitting john and dad in the head with snowballs is really fun but I hate when cars go over the snow and make it slush and it mean less snow good for them bad for us and I was chating to friends in robolx and playing games.

We are doing ww2 at Holywood. We have dun ww1 and ww2 my favrot is ww2 it a lot different than ww1. In ww1 it was all in the Trenches but in ww2 it was moor plans and city and contras I like to call ww1 the poor war

for the past few days it has been snowing ! on Sunday there was a huge pile of snow until five o clock it stopped . it was snowing last weak and me and Dakota have been having snow fights. today the there is some snow left but most of it is ice.

I love snow so so much I think that snow is great because there is so many things you can do with it ! some times we had to stay in because it was so cold outside. Dakota said she thinks snow is fun , Euan said that he loves snow so much! . there are people who don’t like snow and some people don’t like get hit by the snow balls. in the snow you can throw snow balls and build a snow man also you can build random things.

On Monday p5 to 7 are doing there ration challenge. The ration challenge is when you prepare a meal what was rationed during the war. We are cooking sausage, bacon, pastry and egg all inside the pie. The cooking will begin this after noon and after every thing is prepared the teachers judge your choice of meal. We were meant to be doing it before the charismas but nobody was ready so lets hope every one is ready this time. There is a possibility we will do it today. Ryans group it making toad in the hole. Islas group is making corn beef burgers.

In Primary 5-7 we have been learning about WW2. We made model planes to represent the Messerschmitt (German fighter plane) and the Spitfire. We also made backgrounds for them by getting some A3 paper and using oil pastels to recreate the view of the ground from the planes and we have hung the planes above the oil pastel drawings. We are also hopefully going to be doing the ration challenge. My group will be making toad in the hole.

We have started a new thing that we do on Monday mornings. It is called a reading and writing carousel (I think). There are 4 groups; Blogging, Reading, Newspapers and reading box card. On the reading box card you have to complete the whole card in 15 minutes and it is the same with everything else. On the newspaper you have to read the newspaper and then write 5 questions for someone. On blogging you blog and on reading there are 4 books called Blitz, The boy in the striped pyjamas, The last kids on earth and Adolphus Tips. I am reading the boy in the striped pyjamas and I am on page 101.

On big Thursday last week we went up the woods with Miss Stapleton and took pictures, then we came back and wrote poems about the woods and what we could touch, hear and smell. We then got hot chocolate and marshmallows! With Mr Walker we did cricket in P.E. With Mrs McIntyre we did pop art in art and with Ann we did music. Ann is our new music teacher and she is very good.

In the new year we were learning about WWII. We could make a choice on what subject of the war

that lasted 6 years. I did Defending Scotland so I could also do a bit about home guard.

We were learning about pop-art in the art lessons on big Thursday. And taken into the woods by

Mrs Stapltone to take pictures and see what we could hear and record it on paper. Then we used them to write a poem on lined paper and were given a marshmallow if the poem was good enough and after the woods we got a hot chocolate to warm up.
