We were doing wild life projects for outdoor learning. people were making hedgehog houses and dens so people could help wild life come back to our school. I cleaned and fixed the grass mat in the woods now nobody will trip and wild life wont get stuck and trapped. I loved out door learning we should do it more well i hope you liked this short bit of out door learning bye!

At first we had to set up our tents and eat our lunch then at 1:00 we split into groups and did Archery and Lazer tag The group I was in did Lazer tag first and then Archery. After that we went back to the camp site until our Dinner! For dinner we had Chicken nuggets and chips then berry cake for dessert. The second day we went for breakfast and then we split into groups again I did the big swing and then rock climbing  after that we had to split our group into 2 groups and then half of us went to do slipping slide then paddle boarding. after that we had dinner then played a massive game of hide and seek!

last Friday we had a gala here at Holywood school my group was running a snack stall at the stall we were selling crisps , red cola , popcorn and candy floss. the money earned from all of the stalls was round about £800 [still counting]

last Friday was gala day. Gala day  is a day where all the kids sell things such as: toys, food .plants and much more exciting things it was very amusing and affordable  to do. We do also try to be sustainable. We all get our own stall with a group of 3-5 people. There wore a bunch of stalls and things to do during gala day because . i believe school favourite was  the baking stall . We also got to throw sponges at people who volunteered (Miss dale got some thrown at her). We also raised a hole load of money for the school !  . 

After gala day had finished we did infact clean up after ourselves and made sure no tables wore left out . Thank you to all the people who came to gala day!.

On Friday we had something called gala day. Gala day is a day where everybody is in a group and they make up a stall such as Ice cream, Toy stall, Tombola, slushies and more! I was with Kaitlyn Hannah and Contijn we did a slush stall and a through the sponge stall. For the trough the sponge stall we had a list of people that wanted to do it such as Ramani, Payton, Miller, Bailey, Liam and more. The big deal was when Miss Dale had a turn we had at least 20-30 people lined up to through sponges at her it was really funny! Also Kaitlyn paid £10 to dump a bucket of water on her head and Miss Dale got soaked! Also the slush stall got loads of money too. You could get the flavour Blue raspberry or Strawberry but most people went for Blue raspberry!

last week on Friday we had gala day there was a lot of different stoles to buy stuff from there was food stoles  like the slushy stole. On one of the stoles we got to thorough water at each other and the head teacher it was so fun.
