Hello,

Today I am going talk about Residential!! Residential is on Wednesday the 22nd of May 2024 till the 24th of May 2024 and the bus leaves at 11 O’clock  in the morning and the bus ride is about one hour and a half long I think and we are doing lots of fun activities such as- abseiling, Zipline, open canoeing, high ropes and lots  more. I went to residential last year and it was really fun!! I hope it is really fun again this time even though it is supposed to rain the whole time!

“Hello today Nia\me and Anneliese are going to writ our blog about us learning the songs and choreography to the Viking opera .

Last month our class we got told that we have been chosen to be in the Scottish opera Vikings. We where very exited so two weeks ago we started to learn our parts for the opera. The class split in half one half was the Villagers and the other half was the Sorcerers. We have learned songs in the opera what are called Vikings for ever, Prepare Vikings prepare, Defenders of the earth  and We have the power . The two songs  are called Defenders of the earth which is the Villagers song and We have the power is the Sorceress song . One of the other schools are being the Queens Vikings so that means we do not need to learn their part. We have moved on to learning the dances to the songs we have learned so far.

       This is one of the song and dances to Vikings it is called Pepper.

Thank you for reading bye

I am in a Gala Group with Mena and Nancy.  We are making jewellery and origami animals.  We will be selling them on Gala Day, Friday 7th June. 

Last Friday, I went to St Jo’s for a tour around the main parts of the school.  The house teacher put me into the same house as my brother.  Her name is Mrs Reid; sometimes I’ll be working with her.  We visited the bottom floor classrooms; design and manufacturing classes; all other classes on upper floors and the lunch hall. Outside there is a football pitch and a rugby field.  They use the rugby pitch for playing on at break and lunch.

I went back again, the next Friday – I made a keyring in woodwork and design and manufacturing. I made friends with some boys who will be in my class. One even had the same name as me! Grannie and Granpa picked me up and brought me back to Holywood…

I am going again this afternoon. I am looking forward to seeing my new friends.  I am going to do another subject but I don’t know what yet.

Hello im going to talk about residential

Im going to residential this year and i didn’t go last year and im excited but also nervous because i hate sleeping in a room with a bunch of people but i also would feel bored on my own. This year we are doing abseiling stream walk raft building going on a zipwire and more .we leave at 11:00 tomorrow and go on the bus and its a 1 hour and something minute long drive. Im excited for the stream walk because i have heard some absolutely horrifying stories about it. I am also excited to do making rafts because it involves water.. well  im excited for everything to do with water! (i like swimming to)

Now we are going tomorrow and this how I feel

First is the bus well its the bus I am not exited for the songs that some on will sing on the bus through.

• Abseiling  Well we didn’t do it last time so no one has done it but i think it will be really fun I was actually the one that suggested it and we are doing it instead of geo chasing. Now I am not afraid of heights so I think I will really enjoy it.
• High ropes. Well we did it last time and i really enjoyed it because there are different activity’s you do in that section like how high can you stack the blocks and yo get to jump from a high pole and try to caught it.
• Canoe Well i have always liked paddling and you get to follow the instructor doing it and it is really fun to do I have planned to go with my friend Niamh and i promised not to tip her in which will be fun.
• Stream walk  Well last time i wore the wrong shoes and got completely drained and could not where them any more but this time i am going to have a good time and not worry because i have wore the right shoes.
• Night walk really exited to cool down after a busy day.
• Raft building well i hope we tie it properly this time and then it will not break and i wont fall in because i got a big shock last time.
• And that is the first day
