Confident, Creative Learners with Big Ambitions. Kind to each other. Kind to the Planet.
The book I am reading is called Bitter Chocolate. It’s a good book for older children if your interested in finding out more about the world and all the bad things that go on. I like this book and I would recommend this book to other children. So far am on chapter 31 and still interested.

The book I am reading is called The Secret of the Black Moon Moth by john Fardell. Its really confusing but I like it. Every page is a new story. It has loads of character. My favourite character is sam a 12 year old boy. In my group there is me Lewis M, Axel and Jennifer.

The challenge was to read five books by different authors. We did the challenge to see how fast we could read. I read Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, Friend or Foe, The fox at the Roundabout, Angles story and Dewey. My favourite book that I read for the reading challenge is Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, I think Harry is one of the best imaginative characters ever; if you like wizards then you will really like this book. The skill I gained by reading these books was to read a little faster. What I shall do next is to continue reading books to try and get even faster.

We sang Away in a Manger,12 Days of Christmas, Jingle Bells and many more… After that we went to get some drinks and some biscuits. Later on we went to talk to the elderly people and enjoyed all of it and we can’t wait untill we go to Dalawoodie next year.

Pupils at Holywood School performed Scrooge at School or Mr Humbug Sees the Light to a packed hall last Tuesday (11th December).
In just three weeks all pupils learned the song words, their script lines and designed and made their costumes.
Katie Jackson (P7) took the lead role as the grumpy Mr Humbug a head teacher who bans Christmas at his school. It is a reworking of the classic Dicken’s tale a Christmas Carol where the three ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future drop in to make Mr Humbug change his ways. Jennifer Clark was delighted to take on the role of the ghost of Christmas Present as she wanted to play a headless ghost – she used Mod-Roc to make her head before painting it.
Every pupil in school had a role to play in the production with primary one pupils playing mini-ghosts, cooks and school children from the past and future.
Head of Lighting, Axel Marshall(P6) and Stage Director, Ryan Templeton (P7) ensured that music, sound effects and lighting were used to full effect to create a spooky atmosphere for the performance night.
An audience of over 100 members of the school and wider community came along for the show and gave pupils very positive feedback. Emma, Callie, Rachael and Rebecca last years P7 pupils (now at secondary school) came along to support Team Holywood and told staff and pupils ‘It was the best show ever. We wanted to get up and sing with the pupils. The costumes looked amazing!’
Miss Dale the Head teacher said, “All of our pupils worked very hard to remember their lines and performed brilliantly on the night– a huge thank you to parents for working so hard at home and to school staff for making, sewing, ironing and pulling the show together!”
