1.first you unravel the tent bag and lay everything out.

2.second you count the pegs and make sure you have all 12

3.you get the poles and attach them together and lay them on the floor

4.you get the poles and put them in the little pockets at the corners

5.you hook the little clips on to the poles making your bedroom

6.you take  the water proof layer and place it on top and hook it in

7.So you can sleep in it all night

HELLO! I have TWO good things to tell you… I’ll leave best for last. So the first thing is TOWN TRIP IS TOMORROW! We are going to be doing different tasks so we can get to know Dumfries better. The OTHER good thing is…. (I’ll give it a whole paragraph because I’m so excited…..)

RESEDENTIAL IS COMING UP! 😀 😀 C: C: Today we were practising putting up the tents because we are meant to put them up ourselves when we are on residential, Miss Dale said that so if they fly away in the night than it’s our fault…. oops.

By the one and only RHONAAAAAAA.

Hello everybody. How are you all doing today?

Today we were learning how to put up tents so we knew how do it when we went on residential. We were in groups of three when we put up the tents. First we set up the tent poles and put them aside. We then laid out the ground sheet and put the tent poles into the pockets and clip the inside sheet to the tent poles. After we had done that we covered the tent in the waterproof cover and clipped the waterproof cover to the tent poles and there we had it! The tent was compete! We then dismantled the tent and packed it all away!

 

That is all that I have t!me for today! BYE!!!!!!!!!! O § ¶ ß

Hi everyone

I have chicken pox and it is not nice. I have lots and lots of spots but I do not have a hot fever now. I have been really bored staying in so I don’t give it to any one. My family took me for a long quiet walk in a bluebell wood because I wanted fresh air now I feel better. We saw mena and said hello but not closely. Mama took pictures for me so I could show you. I saw the first douglas fir to be grown in Britain. I saw lots of pictures in the bark and it felt so good. I found a fairy dell and lots of animal hotels in the trees. Ferns are amazing. I haven’t had a new spot today so I think I can come back on Monday. I am having lots of treats for being very poorly.

Bye I hope I see you on Monday soon good bye love Tanith 🐯🌴🪲🐄🐷🐖🐹🦊🐵

Hello Contijn here today i’m talking about my old school in the Netherlands and my current school (holywood primary). There are lots of different things in between the schools but if i’m going to tell you guys all of them this blog should be to long so here are 10 differences between the 2 schools.

1. Population of a school is one of the biggest things i had to get used to in my old school there we’re 350 kids that is next to Holywood so much.
2.  Outside was a lot different as well on holywood we have a lot more free time, On Friday we have big break and you can choose for how long you lunch an for how long you play. (we have 40 minutes lunchtime)
3. Classrooms/devices On my old school we worked the last years for 90% on laptops it was nice, but i don’t care what we’re doing writing and books or laptops ( we are doing a part on the computers on holywood as well)
4. Lunches, In the Netherlands you don’t have the choice to have school lunches everyone is taking there lunch and in lunchtime we have 30 minutes eating 30 minutes outside you don’t have the choice to eat for example 40 minutes and play 20 minutes outside.
5. Outside learning, In the Netherlands we never had real outside learning.
6. Art, Here in holywood we don’t have that much art lessons On my old school we had every week 3 times Some lessons.
7. Own work, On holywood you can work on your own and get a choice to do your own thing in The Netherlands it was you are doing this you are doing that and you have to work alone!!!!!!
8. Time, On my old school school started at 8:30.

Music, Here on Holywood we just started with Music and in the Netherlands we had in the first 5 tears music every week 2 times and after that you stop with music (strange)

10. Playground, On holywood we got hills and a big field, In the Netherlands we had stone with wood chips and a wooden shed.

A long blog today but it was fun
