Ms Carruthers and Mrs Jardine are doing a fantastic job supporting learners at Maths Homework Club. But parent helpers needed to make sure everyone attending has all the help they need.

Miss Dale and Miss Stapleton have plans for a change to maths homework club next term – to bring it back to skills and involving parents…

More about that next term!

Please give a call if you can help.

 

 

Pupils in P1-3 have been painting Cherry Blossom Trees.

They are up in a display in the corridor. Please come in and see them.

I will try to get a photo on the blog ASAP.

Lovely work everyone!!

Miss Dale

A huge thank you to all our friends at Obugi School.

 

They are being very good at getting on with the link project and at keeping in touch with us.

We are not such good communicators at the moment BUT we have plans to get better!

 

Hope everyone is well – warmest wishes from Team Holywood

Julie and Cindy from SACRO are coming in tomorrow to train up senior pupils to be Peer Mediators.

Look out for follow up blogs from the pupils telling you all about it!

Well done to our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for their excellent posters.

We are sure you will have fun spending your vouchers at the Dalscone Farm Toy Shop!

Happy New Year from everyone at Holywood!

We are learning about AREA in maths. We used squares as carpet tiles and we had to lay carpets with an area of 10 or 12 squares.

Look at our fabulous carpets… We also took our own pictures!!

Naila Akram from Balfour Beatty came in on Monday to discuss construction safety with the pupils and to launch an art competition. Look out for pupil posts on the visit and what they learned. We are excited about the art competition and hope to have some worthy winners!

There was a lot of discussion about my shoes last night at Let’s Dance at Holywood School.

Please see pictures taken by Elliot to show you all the excellent and comfortable shoes I was wearing to dance.

We have learned some line dances – including the Cowboy Boogie and Electric Slide. We are working on a Samba and a Salsa.

Did the shoes help?  Although it was easier to dance in a heel and my feet did not hurt, unfortunately the shoes were unable to improve the quality of my dance skills!!  🙁 Please come along to dance class and join us… it is great fun!!

Miss Stapleton and I are on a course about Tig Tag. We are learning about new features of the resource.

You can access it at home by logging into GLOW and finding it on your share page.

Get learning!!
