Holywood Hullabaloo

On Monday the 21st of August 2017 every disappointed pupil returned to school. Everybody was displeased because they had been enjoying their 7 weeks so much  they didn’t want to come back(not that anyone wants to go back to school). This year there is 9 new primary ones named Moira, Abigail, Kohdie, Carson, Jack, Kye, Daniel, Gabriella and Niamh. In primary 2 there is Erin and in primary 4 there is Oliver.

Now there is 30 boys and 22 girls in school which means girls are catching up to the boys. Last term there were 36 boys and 12 girls!! There are a lot of new teachers this year here they are: Miss Kalotka, Mr Walker and Miss Mcintyre.

We made a story map for Red Riding Hood.

It had a hill and paths in the forest. We made cottages for all the characters.

We used the map to tell the story with our puppets.

Today we had the Police in school (not really!) This Policeman made lots of arrests and made sure P1/2 were behaving.

Thanks to Paul and Hannah for sharing their holiday highlights – it would be great to hear from others.

Thank you to everyone who wrote a holiday diary – we are reading them at the moment.

Hello!

Welcome back to Holywood.

We hope you all had a great summer.

I chased the sunshine in my camper van…

And found it in Wales and on the East coast of England.

I look forward to catching up with everyone very soon.

Look out for our first social – a wee meet and greet so that you can grill / I mean have a chat with our newest staff members.

Thank you for getting organised for BIG THURSDAY at short notice.

Have a good day,

Miss Dale

When we visited Luxor, in Egypt, we went onto the River Nile. It is the longest river in the world. We all got to drive the boat – we went across and down the river!

Here are our photos. It was amazing!

I have learned to swim on my holidays. I kept practising in the pool when I was in Egypt for a month. You can watch my video.
