Pupils across the school have been looking at plants this week.

Studying the parts of plants and the best way to do that is to get out and look at real plants.

P6/7 have been digging up dandelions to draw, study and then dissect. They have taped down and labelled all the parts of the dandelion plant.

You have to dig deep as the dandelion has got a very long and strong tap root.

Tomorrow we are going to look at different flowers to see if we can spot the female and male parts that are needed for reproducing new plants.

We’ll try and get some pictures up on the blog for you to see.

Tanith and Caspian we need to tell you about the new teachers we have in school…

Mrs Renaud is in on a Thursday and Friday. This term she is working on Storytelling and Drama for Big Thursday. She will be working in the P1-3 on a Friday too.

Mr Sanderson has come to Holywood to learn all about teaching so Miss Stapleton and I are having to be on our very best teacher behaviour. And we are having to look very organised so that Mr Sanderson picks up our very best teaching habits only!!

It is tricky to get to know people when they are behind masks so we have started our Wake Up Shake Up in the playground.

Looking forward to seeing you guys very soon!

Hi. Caspian here.

Today I did some math word problems. I also wrote a review on Charles Dickens’ book The Signalman. Here it is.

The story is about a signalman who is having strange apparitions about a red danger light. He tells someone about this. The next day the stranger came back to find the signalman had been run over by a train. The plot of this story was interesting. I like horror and mystery themed books, as they intrigue me. I like the way they scare you and make you feel suspicious about things.

I also did 10 facts about the Border Reivers.

1. The Border Reivers were Anglo-Scots.
2. They were raiders between the 13th and 17th centuries
3. They raided Scotland and England.
4. Their name means stealers.
5. They came to their height during the 1500’s.
6. There were many clans.
7. It was described as an era of terror.
8. Another name for them was pillagers.
9. They lived on the border, hence their name.
10. Some tribes would wield crossbows, while others, axes.

That’s all, so bye!
