Last weeks learning

Last week we went to Ellisland farm to learn all about Robert burns times living there. We went on Friday with the whole school we got put into groups of 6 I was in Mrs Queens group.I learned that Robert burns got helped to pay for the farm. We also went to Ellisland farm because we have been going back in time and finding facts that we don’t know.

Last week we also  started math’s for the first time this year, we are currently working on our assessments and we are practicing times tables everyday.

On Thursday we done all about me which was very informative

Holywood report!

This is the last week of term.  The school is so excited.

Dear Holywood,

This year has been extraordinary! We have been learning a bundle of learning! A lot has happened this year for example: In math’s we have been learning fractions, times tables and co-ordinates.

Our favourite time of the year was: Week in the woods, KiVa, French and Gala day because all of the subjects was very fun and exciting but it also was challenging!

Our least  favourite subjects was: Scots language, Music and Outdoor learning we think scots language got very boring and we felt like we weren’t doing second level work and I didn’t like outdoor learning from the start  of this year because we are doing the same work over and over again  and I didn’t like music because we had to keep doing it over and over again and it gat a bit boring.

Sports day!

Today was sports day and I got 3 1st, 2 2nds and 1 3rd. I was very nervous the day before we done sports day but it was very fun.

My first race was the sprint race with the p6 girls I came in 1st place! My second race was egg on the spoon and this race was with the p6-7 boys and girls and I luckily came in 2nd place! The 3rd race was the sack race AND I WASNT EXCITED! I done the sack race with p6-7 and I came in 2nd place! After I done the sack race I wasn’t as nervous as I was before. After I done the sack race we done coach and horses I was with Orla and sadly we came in 3rd place, but it was fun! One of the last race was the skipping race which is my favorite race!!! and I came in 1st place. Last we all done the big whole school race! what you had to do was go over the hills, under the tunnel, in the willow tunnel and under the tarpaulin. I came in 2nd place because some people didn’t know that we had to go under the tarpaulin.

 

I had a really fun time doing sports day!

environment day !

Environment day was soooo fun but it also had loads of plastic pollution fun facts! The class I was in ( Merissa ) was group 5 and the class that my classmate was in ( Daisy )  was in was group 3.

( Merissa’s perspective ) My first class was with miss dale was called waste of time, In this class we learned how long it takes for plastic waste to break down !!! let me tell you how long a can takes to break down, it takes up to 80-200 years !

( Daisy’s perspective ) In my first class I went to go with miss McIntyre. We did rubbish re-use,  In there we learned that you can re-use single plastics and turn them into something useful for example a plastic bag turned into a bracelet and miss McIntyre’s class was interesting and fun !

( Merissa’s perspective )  My second class was pizza miles with miss Jardine I enjoyed it but there was only a couple of people doing the food miles, and all the measuring on the internet while other people were making pizza I think there weren’t enough jobs but it was FUN !

( Daisy’s perspective ) My second class was beach box  beach box it was like a questionnaire about, if the plastic shouldn’t be there or if the plastic does. We done this class with miss Stapleton. It was interesting and full of facts but it still had its own sense of fun !

( Merissa’s perspective ) This class was called rubbish sort ! we had to sort out all the rubbish like ( single use plastic , paper tissues , food , plastic , metal ) We done this with miss Brocki Donald. We think that her class was fun but near the end  it started getting boring

we have done all of the classes and I think environment day was very fun mums and dads were coming to help at the end of the day which was cool !!!

learning at Holywood !!!

Lately we have been doing legal drug work , I am doing work about calpol so I am going to find the positives and the negatives. (  here is a fact , you can get addicted  to calpol and calpol is also very dangerous if you use it too much ! ) for our work we have to create a bigger box of calpol (  or the medicine that you are doing  ) and write all the instructions on the back and copy the front on to yours.

At math’s we have been learning percentages like 10% , 20% , 25% and 50% ( also there is others ) but with those percentages we have been doing money work that is like 50% off of a chocolate bar !!!

We have been practicing for cross country since last month and tomorrow is the big day because it will be cross country tomorrow !!! 🙂 we have been doing 5-8min runs around the field.
