this weeks learning at holywood  was fun because we where doing friction , force , push and pull . we have been doing this topic for a week now and today me and Dakota got put in the same group because its called twist and we can do gymnastic twists !! we are really excited !

math : me and Dakota really enjoy doing maths because we are in the same group and we are also doing maths sheet which Dakota said that’s her favourite my favourite is the new maths games , in the game there is a board for each player then you pick up the card and there should be units , tens , hundred and thousands on the cards so you have to read it and that’s the game !!!

business groups : Dakota was off on the day that we got put in business groups but I am in kiva group and I hope Dakotas in our group . my group has Lewis and molly in our group. kiva group is for to help unhappy people and to help learning increase.

Big Thursday is back on the timetable at Holywood and it is one of our favourite days of the week.

On a Big Thursday our four teachers each teach one curricular area to all the pupils in school.

This term Miss Stapleton is teaching Computer Science – this is new on the Big Thursday subject list. Think of the coding and digital literacy skills pupils will have by the end of the year!

Miss Brockie- Donald is teaching P.E. this term and has gymnastics plans for everyone!

Mrs Jardine is teaching Art and Design – one of her favourite subjects.

Miss McIntyre is heading out for Outdoor Skills sessions  – pupils will be using their senses and their knot tying skills this term.

Next term Art switches for Music and Outdoor skills switch to STEM lessons – exciting times.

Pupils need to wear their old clothes and bring their P.E. kit with them.

Have fun learning on Big Thursday Team Holywood!

Everyone in P5-7 was thrilled by the arrival of their SPELLING WORKOUT jotters.

Miss Dale and Miss McIntyre have organised the spelling to get pupils more swiftly this session.

Pupils have a terms words in their books and can get them learned as soon as they can.

They will be quizzed on a Friday.

Miss Dale has put a letter in the front of the jotter to explain the method to parents.

WORK OUT Daily to get your spelling in shape!

On Lelands summer holiday he went to Burger King he would go again because the food there was very very good.

Sadly, his car broke down and it took a long time to get to where he needed to go !

He went to Mirage that is a hotel- it was nice there. He got breakfast there when he was going to see his aunt.

It sounds like he had a fab summer holiday.
