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.

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.

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!
