The snow has fallen at Holywood school!!!! Everyone has been raging to get out of the doors at break times, we have been rampaging down the hills. So now there is a green patch on the hills because we have been speeding down the hill so many times.
I’ am sure everyone has enjoyed going down the hills, but I’m sure people were sad that they had to come to school today.

Today we were in a winter wonderland when it snowed over night. My mum said that we were the only school open. anyway we went sledge down the big hill me and Mark went speeding down half way through Mark jumped of and went rolling. Me Greg and Mark built a snowman called Olaf named after the snowman Frozen by Disney. Me and Mark throw millions of snowballs at people and made a giant snowball to roll down the hill, It nearly squashed Mark. then we had to go in. 🙁
On Jan 2015 p1~7 had an amazing snowball fight morning. I am pretty sure p5 won!
Kye hit 20 people, Hayden hit 40 people and I hit 56 people. It was World War 2 before school and Axel came and joined in because his school was shut.
Holywood school was the only school that was open. The snow was one foot deep before we came to school this morning.
This is the best school ever!!!

Holywood has got snow This morning I came to school and it was coverd with snow. Then at breack we all had a sot of the slegdes .
At lunch time we saw people building snow men. The play ground was coverd with tunes of snow.
This morning miss Niving was teaching us maths. We played maths jenga We really enjoyed it we also played around the world with miss Queen. We played maths bingo in our maths groups. My favourite was maths Jenga I think everybody enjoyed it. In maths jenga you had to pull out a block with a sum on it be careful not to knock it down. The block had a sum on it and we had to answer the question on it. In around the world you have to sit in a circle and one person had to see if they could get around the world without being taken over. Maths bingo is were you have to write six numbers in a grid and the bingo caller will shout out sums if you do get all your numbers crossed out you win. After all that we went sledging we timed everyone.
At Holywood we are having a 2015 reading challenge. we have to read 10 books . In June we will have a water slide afternoon and an ice cream cone will be included . If the you have not done it you will have to stay inside and watch people having fun. GOOD LUCK AT THE READING CHALLENGE !!!
Lewis and I has got through to the Nithsdale quarter final. this is my first time in the competition but Lewis has done it before and got to the final so I hope we can do that this year as well, but Lewis is a bit better than me so wish us good luck anyways

At last we have got some snow. We have had sledges for a long time waiting for snow to come. Today everybody is wrapped up. Now we have the sledges out and everybody skidding down the hill rapidly. But it has to be freezing. People throwing snow balls and making snow it is BEST day ever !
On the 28th of January I did a assembly on badminton because it was for my school targets and because I went to the Scottish nationals!
We set up a net and we played a game called around the world which someone hits it to you and you have to run around the net if you miss it you go on the other side and try to catch the shuttlecock and if you catch the shuttlecock you will swap with the player in the other side.
I explained why the small racket is smaller than the bigger racket it is because of its easier to hit the shuttlecock for beginners and younger people. I said all the shots like overhand, underhand, drop shot and backhand.
