Hello its Harry and we just did our sports day recently and i’m going to tell you about the races.we had our sports day on Wednesday the 17th of June. 

The first race were the sprint races, I came 3rd Brody and Owen came 1st and 2nd this is pretty much the same every year probably because it just requires pure speed and nothing else.

Next it was the skipping races. I sadly didn’t place in this race, Owen won this and Brody came 2nd in the skipping.

After the skipping it was the egg and spoon race. For the first time ever i was doing good in this race until Owen started cheating so we had to restart and i didn’t place.

After that it was the sack race. To start we lye on top of the sack and when the whistle peeps we get up and into our sacks. I was in the lead at the start but then Owen over took me and i tripped because the sack was too low near the end.

Then the next race was the monkey crawl race and i was one of the last people and i fell at least 10 times doing that race Liam won the monkey crawl and Owen came second most of the school did this one because all classes do it at the same time.

Then there was the horse and carriage and since i don’t have a sibling in the school i couldn’t take part but Daniel and Liam won and Owen and Beth came 2nd.

Then there was a long distance run and i was around 6th so i didn’t place, this was around the whole field through a tunnel and to the finish line.

 

After all of the races we were rewarded with an ice lolly and got to go home.

Hello Harry here and we went on a residential recently at Rock Uk.

My favourite activity was kayaking. This involved keeping the kayak balanced and using the paddle right by stroking the water at the correct side to stay straight. I developed my kayaking skills when getting a lot of speed while playing games and going down a slide on the kayak required some bravery but it was very fun. This made me happy because I liked that we could play around.

The most challenging activity was rock climbing. This included different holds and grips we got clipped into a harness with our friends and an instructor hold our safety rope so if we slip or if we go down they can give it some hard pulls so we can safely lower our self by sort of abseiling down. I improved my rock climbing skills by including hard holds in my routes. I felt proud because each run I got further than the last.

The activity I’d do again is mountain biking. It involved balance and speed control while going round berms and rollers. We tried a blue taster trail and there was 1 tabletop, a few berms and a couple rollers. There was a red trail which was more technical it had some drops it looked fun but we weren’t allowed to do it sadly.  I used patience skills while waiting for my turn and correct technique for properly pumping the rollers and riding berms. I was happy because I enjoying doing mountain biking on my own bike as well.

On Monday in the morning we got put into groups of 4 and then got a partner in them groups. Once we got into our groups we were given an argument in each group of 4 each partner group would get given the same argument and 2 partners got the yes side and 2 got the no side. For example my group got asked should students get to pick their teacher? Me and my partner got yes all 4 of the people in the group had to make an argument and an evidence back up / proof. My argument and evidence for yes was,  I believe that students should be able to choose their teacher because they can choose a teacher they like. This could improve their focus and scores on tests and just make school more fun. In maths we played all ten, we did word problems and we played a game called mafia. Today in literacy we were learning about migration emigration and immigrants. In maths we did rainbow maths, we got our assessments and figured out the questions we got wrong any why we did and we ended with doing some questions about mixed fraction adding.

Made by yours truly Harry.

Today we did a bike breakfast which is when we go round a loop on roads near the school once or twice. We set off from the school at 8:15 am after we did the safety check to check everyone’s bike were safe to ride. It is optional whether we go one or 2 laps or any at all. Most people done 2 laps but some people did 1 and some people walked 1 lap. Tom and I went round 2 laps! Each lap is 2.5 miles and the most laps your allowed to cycle is 2 laps, we cant do more than 2 unfortunately.

Over the last few weeks 7 people including me as a group have been doing activities outdoor on Fridays.  Last Friday we climbed up Criffel, but before we climbed the boys went in Mrs Mcnay’s car to get there and the girls went in Miss Madan’s car, the drive took a while. once we got there we started walking was a long climb but after around an hour and a half we finally made it to the top. On the way up we seen some mini water falls, a lot of stone bags, mini rock pools, a bridge and fellow climbers.

On my weekend, I played Minecraft and among us happily in the morning, I had fun during most of the time. Me and my family stayed at home for a while.
Then we went to my ponies, they were good as most of the time, but sometimes they can be a bit naughty. We gave one of my smelly ponies a bath because we have a show this weekend. We stayed down the field for a while, we mucked the ponies out and gave them water, my 2 ponies were play fighting and being silly. It was funny to watch.  I fed our pigs and we had an arena hire at 4 pm, the arena hire is in walking distance, the arena hire was 1 hour long.

 My weekend was relatively similar for Saturday and Sunday, but on Sunday I went to an indoor car boot sale in the town. After that I went home and happily played Minecraft and among us just like I did in the morning.

 

In maths we have been learning about fractions, percentages and decimal. We have been playing different games and activities to help us learn easier.

 

Hi Olly are you doing alright? It’s me harry I want to tell you about our outdoors group on Friday.

First we had to get our equipment from Mrs Mcnay. We had to put a water bottle a cup, a snack, a mat and some wood in our bags provided by the legendary Mrs Mcnay, some of us brought other things like ropes, tents, and a Kelly kettle.  Once we got to the beach woods we found a good place to place our bags and to make a tent. we weren’t great at putting up the first tent, we had a boys tent and a girls tent. In the boys tent we had Me, Owen, Miller and Noah and in the girls tent we had Talia, Libby and Mrs Mcnay.  After we put up the tents we stayed in them for 10 minutes and the boys were singing barbie girl songs and California girls. We played  a game of manhunt after chilling in the tents. Then we attempted to make fires nut me and miller couldn’t get a very good fire, we got to have a lot of quesadillas, we made s’mores and a cup of hot chocolate (warm chocolate). We went back to school for lunch, but once we got back to the beach woods we did blindfold trails and we got to make our own trails as well. 

Bye Olly Hope you get well soon.

Over the past couple weeks we have been working on making a presentation with props posters and power points  about our groups choice of world religion. Each group could choose a religion but we didn’t have multiple groups on the same religions. My group chose Sikhism and we spoke about festivals, religious buildings, food, Sikhs, praying, beliefs and leaders. We had to perform our wonderful speeches to the P234 class.

Hello fellow humans today I will be talking about my favourite things I did in the holidays. When I woke up on Christmas me and my sister woke my parents up so we could open out presents. We got a lot of presents! We took a while to open all of them but once we did we chilled at home for a bit. After that we went to the Indian for Christmas dinner. On the 27th we went to  an escape room at a castle. At new years I went to my cousins house with my dad and my sister near Dundee. We counted down for new years and we stayed up till about 2 am and we also seen a family standing on top of their roof with sparklers. A few days later we went bowling and my uncle won. Then the day after that we went go-karting in electric karts which aren’t as good as the petrol ones.
