Holywood Hullabaloo

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.

This year in Week In The Woods we did lots of things. On day 1 we made new dens practically all day. We came for lunch though. After lunch the seniors stayed and did a salt water challenge. That is were you have to try and drain the salt out of the water but manage to collect the water. You have to try and make the water fresh instead of salt water.

Day 2 was also fun. We had made chocolate oranges. Literally. We made chocolate cake mix and put it inside the orange once the inside had been cleaned out. Then we cooked it and ate it. Don’t worry the inside of the orange was eaten. We also made more of our dens.

Day 3 we had to make nettle soup. We picked the nettles with gloves on but some didn’t.

Day 4 a lady from the Scottish SPCA came to the school and talked about animal welfare. Then we ate our nettle soup and it was nice. Then we went back to the woods Mr Law came and we played sardines and manhunt. Mr Law was very good at hiding and only Charlie K found him.

Day 5 we made marshmallows!

On the 14th of June 2017 it was Sports Day. On sports day we did about 13 different races. The first was sprints. Merissa came first for the p4-p5 sprints. I came second. The second race was the egg and spoon race. For p4-p5 girls I came first and Ebony came second. Rhona came first in all the p1 races and Skye always came second. Other races included coach and horses, obstacle race and the sack race. We also had potted sports which included horse jumps, beat the goalie, wellie throw and lots more. After the tidy up we all had rocket ice lollies and played man hunt.

On Newsround today

• Dolphins!!!!!
• Pelicans!!!!!!
• Black Holes!
• Niagra Falls Trick!

1. A pod of Dolphins were filmed jumping around in the sea catching fish. These Dolphins were filmed from above for more than 2 hours!
2. Lots of Pelicans are becoming ill because of a type of algae that grows under the sea. Small amounts of the algae are not that bad for these sea birds but Pelicans have large diets so they scoop up lots of the algae. When the birds are ill they are taken to a wildlife reserve and given a swimming pool to chill out in. When better, the birds are released and they fly out to sea.
3. Scientists in China have constructed a machine to help astronomers/themselves to find out the behaviour of black holes. The machine s launched into space and there the stars when they are sucked in, give of an x-ray and then the machine will show it to the scientists/astronomers.
4. A lady got a certificate from the Guinness Book Of World Records for dangling higher than anyone has ever been before. She performed tricks without even a harness! She was then lowered down to the ground from the bottom of a Helicopter and released from the rope that held her hoop up.

birds are in danger of a type algae that is making them sick and they might die because of it. And people are helping them and taking them home and feeding them and letting them swim in there pool. and then they release them back in to the wild.
