Today at the beginning of school we had to come in with our P.E kit, a packed lunch and water bottle, as we were going to a mini-commonwealth games held in the Clickamin. When we got on to the bus, we went to Bixter then met up with Happyhansel. We went on a bigger bus to Lerwick then when we got to the Clickamin we went in, got changed into our P.E kits and went through to the hall, where we got told our teams. I was in team Shetland, with Loui-Bo. The other teams the rest of the class were in were: Scotland, Jersey and Canada. After we were all in our teams, we went to do our first sport.

My first sport was Athletics in the squash court, which was racing against each other, going off the reverse board, then going back. After that we went n some hurdles, and we had to jump over them sometimes twice in a race. Once we had finished Athletics, we went on to Bowls. Bowls is like bowling but you try to get near another small ball, not pins. The people taught us how to lay a mat, how to hold a ball correctly, and how to bowl. I took a few shots and it was funny as one of the women called me a “Natural” at it. I even heard her conversing with another women about it. After bowls, we had lunch, and me and Loui-Bo met up with the rest of Skeld. We were all talking about such nonsense that we barely got our lunches eaten before the 20 minutes of lunch was up.

Then we went on to try to find our next sport, hockey. Me a Loui-Bo got a bit lost but we eventually found the rest of Team Shetland. When we played hockey there were a few girls who showed us how to play, Once we had the hang of how to play, we did the number game, which was when they gave us a number, then called out any random number, if it was yours you had to run and try to get the hockey ball and get it in the others’ goal. After hockey there was Athletics again (a different place, though) with the longjump and some beanbag football game. In the longjump you had to run on to the springboard then jump off on to the mat, and in the beanbag football you had to throw beanbags at a football and try to hit it over the others’ line.

Once we had done all four of those sports, me and Loui-Bo went to try to meet up with the rest of Skeld, but we really didn’t know what we were doing. Once we had found them, we sat down while they announced the winners. The winners were Team Jamaica, which none of us were in, but a few of Happyhansel were in it. The prize was a water bottle. Everyone got a commonwealth wrist band and a sticker, and then we went back on the bus to school. It was a really fun day and I wish we could do it again.

We started off with handwriting and it was letter J. After we finished our handwriting we were finishing off our scripts for the Christmas show. Then we went to drink our milk and water, after that it was time for break.
When we came in from break we started doing our maths. The three Cha Cha llamas were multiplying with large numbers; it was hard but easy at the same time. Once we finished maths we carried on making our roman villa brochures, a brochure is basically a booklet or a leaflet about a villa for sale.
Then we went for our lunch it was sausage casserole with vegetables and for pudding it was apple crumble and custard.
After lunch we got our parts to play in Christmas show and that was so exciting. Last of all we went to music then it was time to go home.

On Monday 4\11\13 we came to school as usual and after break came into class. We were introduced to a new teacher called Miss Leask. Then we told our weekend news. Some of the news was really funny. After that we started doing spelling.
We all got our sheets and started on with our spelling. My group which was me, Nicola, Hermione, and Stephanie had a word search to do. Some of the clues were really hard and we had to use a dictionary to help us find the words we needed. Then we had to write the letters that write the letters that were in the highlighted boxes and had to spell out a word. The word was arachnophobia. After we had spelled out the word we went onto the next bit of the work sheet. The next bit of the worksheet was quite easy all we had to do was choose 2 words from a list and illustrate them. The final bit was a bit boring what you had to do was copy out 16 words twice and then a third time into your spelling jotter. Then we had break
After break we moved our way onto maths. Our group started off with Mr Hewitt telling us what our mini topic in maths was. We learnt about Prime numbers and factors. After we had had some help we started on a really fun maths game what you had to do was somebody in your group gave you a factor and you used squared pieces of paper and you had to times them with the numbers that could go with the other number then try to draw a rectangle with the right multiplications.
After maths we started to make brochures for our roman villas what we had to do was we had to advertise on a brochure why people should come to visit our villas.
Once we had done a bit on our brochures we had lunch then we brushed our teeth then the p6`s went and did JRSO [Junior Road Safety Officer] planning. The others went with Mr Hewitt and made class portraits. Then it was time for gym.
In gym we started with a warm up. The warm up we did was a catchie game Lewis made up it was a game called karate catchie. Once we had warmed up we played piggy in the middle with 4 or 3 people. Then we played bench basketball. After we had played that we got ready for home.

Happy Halloween. This morning every one came dressed up in some great outfits for the party in the afternoon. The outfits we saw were Vampires, Skeletons, Pirates, witches and lots more.
In the morning we started off with handwriting. We were focusing on the letter I. it was good .After we had finished our handwriting we moved to another desk and marked that persons work and we either gave them green, yellow or red. I think it’s a good idea because you know what you have to improve on.
After that we started writing the school play script. I was with Lewis and we wrote a funny sketch.
Just before lunch Mr Hewitt took us up to the staff room and told us horror stories and some of them were quite scary.
After lunch we had a Halloween party in the hall first we started off with ‘musical arm’s’ which is when the bigger class would hold out one of their arms and the little class would run round and when the music stopped the little class would go to the nearest arm and it’s a bit like musical chairs and one arm would go out each time. It was fun then we played the ‘group game’ when you would dance around then Mrs Perry would shout a number and you would need to get into a group of that number. We played pass the parcel and Nicol won. To finish of the day we played musical statues and me, Stephanie and Emmy won.

First thing this morning we sorted out our pots of equipment.
Then we played a game where we had to answer a maths question in Roman numerals within thirty seconds. If you knew the answer you stood up if the first person to stand up got it wrong the next person to stand up would answer and so on until someone got it right. The winner won a new pencil and rubber.
After that we played the alphabet game which is were in our table groups we have to write a different animal for each letter of the animal without talking or making noises so you could act or point to letter sand it is really hard. The winners were the only team who hadn’t made a single noise which was the crazy baboon gorillas go bananas.
Then we all made postcards which we pretended we were going to send to a friend or member of our family to tell them what we had done this holiday .It was a nice change to what we usually do and We all had something interesting to write about.
Then after break the whole school came together to decide what we wanted to do for our school play we all decided to do a talent show. We can’t wait to start writing the script.
After that we went swimming this was our last week of swimming and we were all being assessed. When that was done we got the rest of the time to play with flippers, floats and balls we were also diving into the deep end. It was really fun and we all loved using the flippers.
