In the October holiday we decided to go to Turkey because we couldn’t go to America in the summer holiday. We stayed there for two weeks in a lovely hotel, it’s called The Hilton Dalaman.

 

The Pier                                                                                                                                                We got to the beach and went to the pier, we got in the sea and it wasn’t cold. I climbed back up the ladder to jump off however there was a queue to jump in. It was my first time jumping in so I just pencilled in. When I got out I decided to do a front flip in, I did it easily. I kept doing them in the holiday and then I decided to try to do a back flip in. After a long time convincing myself I went for it and…..                                                        I done the biggest back flop ever, my back just went smack onto the sea! It hurt a lot! After that Just before we needed to go to the room to pack and then leave the next day morning I seen some boys do dives, I thought it looked cool. I had an hour to learn it. My first one was a bit sketchy but they got better until I got the perfect one and when I landed I glided throw the water. It felt lovely. I kept doing them again and again.

We have been learning about conjunctions in literacy. A conjunction is a word that brings two little sentences together. For a demonstration this is one ” I was going on a long walk however it started raining ” The conjunction in that sentence was however. These are some other words that could be conjunctions, because, nether the less, after, after that and so, that is just some of them. In my class we try to avoid and and then however we sometimes can sneak in a little one.

We made a Lego build to replace a building at the gardens, we made a mountain bike trail.

At playtime today, me and my friends made an army called the Lorax to defeat the girls behind the hill. We tried, but they just kept chucking stuff at us! Then Noah made a big interesting; brain move, he gathered every P1 and P2 into are army. They all charged towards the hill, Claudia got piled on by half of the entire army. And the stuff they were chucking at us got returned by a chuck at them. Then the whistle went, we had won. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

 Our Class Charter                                                                                                                             Be respectful to everyone                                                                                                           Use kind words                                                                                                                                      Have a positive attitude                                                                                                                    Try your hardest – be ambitious                                                                                                    Sharing is caring                                                                                                                                  Be helpful                                                                                                                                                  Always take part in the lesson                                                                                                          Put all resources away where they belong                                                                            Be kind to the planet

Our class charter means rules that we agree on then sign it. Now we have to follow those rules that we writ down. If we achieve doing all these rules our class should become a lovely positive tidy class with loads of nice people. ( Not like it isn’t already! )

                                            

On Friday, after school my family headed over to Cairn Ryan port for the boat. We went over from Cairn Ryan to Belfast with Stena Line. Then we went for about an hour an fifteen minute car ride down to Strangford were my grandma and grandad live. The only reason we went is to meet most of my family and because there was a big fair there. Although the reason I wanted to go because of the farm.  The next day in the morning I went to the farm and my grandad went digging with me. He has a massive excavator. We hopped in the New Holland and I drove it through a field to get to the digger. My grandad started up the digger and dug for a while. I don’t like the digger. When it was full We headed back to the farm, but this time when I went through the field and then when I was going up the hill and it was so heavy when I was doing a sharp turn and to high a revs I started to wheelie. I was terrified. Then I went home for lunch. After we done crab fishing, I caught a massive crab bigger then my hand and then Liam caught a fish without a fishing rod! After that I then went to the farm with my grandad to do milking and other stuff the main thing though I met a new friend there his name is Marvin. Then the next day I worked at the farm for another 3 1/2 hours. Then the day we were leaving the next day I was chatting to the guy who rents the farm off my grandad, and he paid me £40 pounds for working!!! I was very exited.

Last week it was Week In The Woods, Week In The Woods is when we go into one of the 2 woods behind are school and do a week of outdoor learning. Although on Thursday it was 30 degrees here so it was just to hot to go in the woods. Instead Miss Dale decided to do a massive water gun fight in the morning. I brought in my medium size electric water gun. Sadly my gun broke half way through! At the end when I got changed my mum had packed my little brothers shorts instead of mine so I had to wear them. Thankfully I put my wet shorts in the sun so they dried off so I could wear them in the afternoon.

In the afternoon since it just got hotter we watched an hour and a half of Wallace And Gromet, It was fun watching it but it was too hot. Then after watching it we had half an hour of play outside. Me and my friends just chilled on are den.

My favourite activity was mountain biking, I already loved mountain biking but the trails were 100% better then what I anticipated! We started with some brake tests in a box and some track standing races.Then we went to the skills park. when we got there we done a blue mini trail, this involved some rollers and berms. After we completed the task we moved on to a bigger mini blue trail, then at the end we got to do a massive blue trail! We only got to do mountain biking because there was a free spot, and they wanted to get pictures of people riding there brand new bikes.

My most challenging activity was the stream walk because it was absolutely freezing. At the start it was pretty shallow, maybe about knee height. All we had to do there was to go under some obstacles or through them like we had to go through a tyre. Then as we went further in the river it got a hole lot deeper and colder. Finally just before we were about to go, me, Owen and Thomas all put are heads under the water. It gave you really bad brain freeze.

I would like to try low ropes again in another place. It’s an obstacle course were you have to balance and clime on ropes or wood. My favourite obstacle was called the bog log, it was a log going throw a bog that you had to walk across. Low ropes was challenging and fun at the same time and that’s why want to try it again!

On the 25th of may, some of my classmates in p6 came to North West with me to see what it was like for an option for a high school. 

Are first subject was English. In English we made a cool bookmark that attaches to the side of the page. After that there was another station in English, where we picked a book and write a little bit to, persuade people to read the book. I picked The Hunger Games it was the Catching Fire book. 

Then we went to art. In art we made a school logo, mine had the Aberdeen logo on it, some shading and a downhill bike. The teacher also played some music, it wasn’t my favourite though.

After that we had some other classes but I don’t have time to share them with you. Anyway in the afternoon, after lunch we played a massive game of capture the flag on the astro football pitch, they have there. There was about fifty people on each team. In one of the games I captured both of the flags for my team so we won. Finally after that we went home and I got Vimto and then rested for football training that night. Thats all I have to share, howdie.

🙂 🙁 😀 😮 :s

In this post we are going to tell you some stuff we’ve done in the week at school. Are topic right now is space and did you know you can fit one billion Earths in the Sun also Earth doesn’t spin in a circle. We have also been learning about planets like how Mars is the closest planet to us, although if you were to shrink the planets down to a size of a coin, Mars would still be about 500m away but the moon is like a meter from earth.

In maths ewe have been doing rainbow maths. Rainbow maths is were there is a row of 50 times questions and if you do them in under 3 minutes thirty and got over 45 out of 50 you would move up to the next level. Also we have been doing word problems, Word problems are when there are written down sums.

In Literacy we have been doing persuasive writing. We have been making adverts on paper like I done Caliber Bikes and Thomas done spy finger. Today we done a big debate if school lunch time should be longer. Daniel and me got put in the side what wanted it to stay the same length but really we wanted longer.

On Wednesday we started gala groups Daniel, Brody and I are in the same group we are doing Cozy Campfire Crew we are making a big campfire and we are going to cook smores and hot dogs. Do you want to eat a smore or hot dog?
