Holywood Hullabaloo

In p4-7 we have been making  experiments.Me and Olivia  make a filter for our experiment. We first had to make a plan and list all the equipment we would need. Some of the things we needed: 3 cups, fabric, stones and muddy water. We had to record what we saw and what happened. So we can show what we were doing.

By Caitlin and Olivia 🙂

On Thursday the 25th of April P5-7 started a science experiment. Miss Dale put us in pairs. I went with Leah. On the white board Miss Dale put up 4 separation experiments for us to choose from. There was: Sieve, filter, dissolve and magnet. Leah and I picked dissolving because we have learned alot about dissolving and it was our favourite.

This is what we dissolved: salt, mud, sand sugar and glue.

First, we got a few cups, spoons and materials. Then we got 250ml of cold water to put with the the materials. We then put them together and stirred them together to see if the material will dissolve in the water. Most of them dissolved like the: glue, sugar and salt but the mud sank to the bottom and the sand hung about in the water. We had to record it on a table, chart or graph; we designed a yes or no table.

What is dissolving?

Dissolving is when something solid breaks down in a liquid.

We have 4 new pupils here at Holywood. They are 3 boys and 1 girl, Josh, Hayden, Reuben and Abigail. Josh and Hayden are in our infant class and are very cool. However, Reuben and Abigail are in the seniors class with us and they are just as cool as Josh and Hayden. Hayden came here first then Reuben and Abigail then Josh.

The Big Pedal is now finished and lots of Holywood pupils took part in scooting and cycling. Lots of schools took part across Great Britain. We were in the small school category with one hundred and eighteen other schools. We came 29th… Not bad for a first attempt!  Well done to Shawhead who came 21st in the Big Pedal.

Rhian Davies was very impressed with the standard of the bike and scooter costumes. Amazing support from family – thank you!

Remember to keep pedalling – there is only three days left in the Big Pedal and we are currently leading the group in Rhian’s I bike schools. We are in the top 50 for small schools across the whole country – check out the Big Pedal website to see how we are getting on.

Thank you to everyone who dressed up funny, bought  a red nose or our weirdly decorated cakes in order to raise money for Comic Relief. We will let you know how much we raised in the next newsletter.

So as you (maybe) know Its Red Nose Day today and here at Holywood, we are enjoying every moment of it, especially the funny dressing up. Everyone with money is buying red noses (at £1 to Comic Relief) and red nose day cupcakes (2 for 50p (100% of it goes to Charity)) and we will have a “Best Costume Of The Year” Award for the costume with the best layout.

Red Nose day is a fun day at Holywood school, we have so many
