Month: March 2019

Last week on Friday it was Red Nose Day! For Red Nose Day me and Rory dressed up as rock stars. We had to  finish of work then we had ice-cream before snack, we done math‘s then we done pie face basically if you had a joke you would go to the front and say the joke and then get pied in the face. After lunch we did more pie face then we watched funny movies and they were quit funny. Then it was home time!

 

You read the title! You now know that our school is diseased! This sickness disease is taking over the entire school! You never know who’s next…. one minute you will be frolicking through the football pitch, and the next there will be sick all down your jumper and all over your shoes.

We had over 21 people off one week and 3 members of the Holywood Staff Team. Please keep your sickness to yourself! *laughs but it turns into a cry*

I’m lucky enough to not have had the sick bug. *coughs* yet…. (touch wood!!!)

Apart from having this bug making its rounds, we have continued classes like normal (apart from a couple of days when we were running low on staff) and we all had a fun red nose day.

On red nose day, we watched 2 movies. We watched some Road Runner episodes and we also watched the animated Grinch. The new one! And we also did pie face, pin the red nose on the clown and had ice-cream and a buffet lunch!! 🙂

Also…. never mind what my best friend Georgia said in her last blog. Those dances and songs are amazing! There is nothing wrong with them, I really liked them…. *laughs evily*

For the Holywood Reading Challenge 2019, I read a book called The Making of May.

The book is about a girl called Mary (but everyone calls her May) and her sister Louise and her brother Ben. Ben and Louise haven taken care of her nearly all of her life because her mother died when she was a baby and she never got to meet her real dad. Here is an important part to the story: May absolutely loves the secret garden movie.

May’s sister Louise has a boyfriend named Greg, and they both decide to go travelling from place to place for a year. May is very upset, so Ben decided that they would both make a fresh start as well.

Ben finds an advertisement for a gardening job in a newspaper, even though he doesn’t know anything about gardening, he applied anyway. The job came with the offer of a cottage where they could live. To get the job though, Ben has to have a reference (and Louise is their blind neighbours care-taker) so Louise has their neighbour, Miss Johnson, write a letter. Miss Johnson writes letters about Ben sometimes anyway, so Louise only had to change painter and decorator to gardener.

Ben gets the job and they settle into the cottage. May finds out there is a walled garden, and there was going to be a small garden competition, so she and the house owners (Mr Rutherford) son (Alex) work together in the garden. They end up winning in second place! Alex and May become really good friends while working in the garden. Alex has an older brother called Charlie who is an artist and working in Italy for the summer, but Alex also loves Art, so they take all of Charlies art supplies down to the garden and store them in the shed. May wanted to make the garden as much like the secret garden as possible, so the house keeper (Mrs Danielle’s) gets a lock smith to make a key for it so only May and Alex can access it.

May is curious as to why they are not allowed into the tower room. It is said that it is because of rotten floors, but why did she see a light in there, and Miss Danielle’s bringing down trays of food? May thinks she is keeping a mad relative up there. One night May and Alex go into the tower room to discover Mrs Danielle’s watching the television. May then falls through the floor, because of the rotten floors.

Louise and Greg were offered a job with a magazine company in Australia, so they stay with Greg’s uncle and aunty. Lou invites May and Ben to live there, and in the end, May goes to live in Australia for a year and Ben stays in England doing a History course in university and doing gardening in Thornton Hall sometimes at the weekends and in the holidays.

So there you have it! A (long) summery of the entire book! I loved this book and on a scale of 1-10, I would rate it a 7. I would recommend it to my friends. It was very hard to put down once you started reading it. I had to let my cat in this morning and couldn’t put it down to let him in XD

Continue reading “The police”

this is a warning for teachers and children alike please read this until the end thank you

WARNING there is a video that has become increasingly popular in our school… we have done everything in our power to stop this disgusting thing but we fail every time. we cant get those monsters to stop playing them. some children are all ready hypnotized by it I lost my best friend to this video… I watched them I watched  as children began to copy the “instructor” but I will never give up my sanity to it..

im not sure weather to tell you the name of this abomination or not I don’t want someone to think they can handle it and watch it…. all I will tell you is it is a wake up shake up video but please don’t watch it …and teachers don’t let your students watch it

you must understand how I have tried to knock some sense in to them I worry that soon I will be the only one left I am going to find them find people in my school that have not gone insane and make a army currently I am trying to blend in as best as I can but I know there leaders  can see right through me though so for your safety and others stay away from the video and if your school gets this disease I only have 3 tips blend in, keep safe, and never…NEVER copy the video and do as they say under any circumstance…  I believe in you

Today we have been doing a tour of the playground leaflet because when the new Primary 1s come we can give them one well not me because im in Primary 7 and going to high school.

I think we have finished our smoking and alcohol topic with miss dale and I think we have also finished our skeleton topic with miss Mackentyre.

So that’s what’s going on at Holywood primary.

Earlier today this pupil was handcuffed in front of the whole school!

But don’t worry they are not under arrest. This pupil is helping PC Smith to demonstrate how the Police use their handcuffs.

 

We have had to change the look of the blog for a short time as it was publishing children’s full names and this is in breach of data protection.

GLOW and Education Scotland are now aware of the issue and are trying to sort it out. Until then we have a new look…

 

Thanks P.Dale
