Happy New Year from everyone at Holywood!
Super Carpet Fitters
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!!
Balfour Beatty – visit to Holywood
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!
Shoe Envy!!
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!!

Twig and Tig Tag
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!!

P1 Photograph
Here is a great picture of the 11 primary one pupils – it was hard work getting them to sit still long enough to take a photo!! 🙂 
Obugi Growing Calendar
Read all about growing at Obugi School.
We asked the pupils to put together a calendar of what could be grown in Kenya in each month. The Greenhouse business group are sorting out our calendar for Scotland.
They are sure to look very different.
We intend to get growing after Christmas holidays.
Our exchange of learning continues!!
Thank you Obugi pupils and staff!!

Obugi went fishing too!!
Click on the link above to see photographs from the pupils at Obugi School. The teachers and pupils went on a fishing trip and wrote in about the fish they caught.
We will put together a slide show of our Fishing for the Future project to let our friends at Obugi know all about it.
It is great that the school now has the computers and the camera being used for learning. We look forward to finding out more from our friends in Kenya.
