on Wednesday, thursday and Friday we were getting our induction days at Wallace hall academy . it is really big and busier than Holywood . all the classes are really good and we get a long lunch . My favourite subject so far is science . we used Bunsen burners and boiled water and the we took the temputure over 12 minutes . I did not like history as it was boring and I didn’t really like the teacher . the days are really long and break is quite short . we got to do activities at lunch time and you could watch the world cup in a teachers class room it is very different to holywood.

Hi my name is Lewis and today at sports day I knackered my toe at the final race behind the hill. So I was just running and the shoe literally came off and hit my toe off my

shoe. Ill rein act this Tragic accident even worse than Islas thumb and Greg’s supposedly hand. And that’s the end

On Monday Dylan was headteacher for the day as he had been elected in a vote . His 3 promises were to have pancakes , a pillow fight and a water fight . in the morning  we did pancakes ,watched a movie and played games . every body enjoyed having a pancake and a movie . after break every one got really excited about the pillow fight there was p1-3 on a bench and p4-7 on a bench . There was a lot of really funny fights especially the one with miss dale and Dylan  . after about 45 minutes of fighting we stopped and went to watch the rest of the movie . while miss dawson was making a buffet lunch . we got a massive buffet lunch and dylans party got to sit in the staff room . after lunch we did a water afternoon with 4 different stations dodge ball , cup with water , get the sponge in the bucket and run like ducks . we spent all afternoon getting soaked and then at 1.45 we all came in and got changed .

This week at holywood we are doing the holywood hike which we are walking from Holywood  to johnogroats he top of Scotland  the whole school in total have to walk 349 miles which is 349 ,000,000 steps . at the end of each day we get our steps written down in each class and they get added up . after a week of walking we celebrate on the Friday night in the hall all family is welcome . you bring a dish and celebrate . this is the start of it this morning we have been doing 15 mins round the playground and 10 minutes of copying miss Macintyre

Today we went to king George the v to do the cross country championships . The course this year was awful I was in the race for p6-7s from medium schools . But there was a first for girls and boys not just one for each . I came tenth out of 24 girls . at the end Georgia , kaylan and me got a  silver medal for the p6-7 girls for  the team . It stayed dry for the races so that was good .
