On Monday morning we had P.E in the muga. Mrs Allan showed us a game called scatterball. We kicked or threw multiple balls and other things and a receiving team tried to catch them and put them back in a hoop at the start before the thrower could get round the muga. We also played a tennis game with a partner. You start with two legs and two arms and when you miss the ball and it bounces off the ground twice you lose a limb.

On Tuesday we took a quiz to find out what animal we are. In the quiz you answered 20 questions and once we finished it showed us an animal and its personality, jobs we could have and our mottos. The personality and mottos lined up to us but not many thought the jobs did.

On Wednesday we practised our school show songs with p7A. The girls and boys who wanted to sing more went through to our class to sing some songs by themselves. We practised our main song without vocals and it turned out really well.

On Thursday we made cards for Eid. A lot of people made a decorated moon and had Eid Mubarak on them. They looked really pretty. With Mrs Hutchison we did some drama, we did a mirroring game. There was a mirror and a leader. The mirror has to follow the leader and the audience has to find out who’s who. We also played a game where we mimed we were in an invisible box that started shrinking and we had to try and break out, some were very funny.

On friday we had some BIG news. We went into P7A and the parts for the show were announced. Everyone was so excited.
