Look at the beautiful canvas Kara painted 😍

She used acrylic paint and a sponge to create the effect.  Very impressive!

Under pressure today, in five minutes the gun shot fires and the race begins

So popular with the crowd, shouting my name, “Go Usain Bolt Go!”

Advantages matter in this race, against some incredibly talented athletes,

Insanely bad start, got to go as fast as a cheetah to win,

Noisy crowd, got to push myself further I’ve got to find power and passion deep in my heart…

Beijing title NEEDS to be regained…

Olympic gold is mine, my reputation is still a WORLD RECORD BREAKER

Lightning Bolt lives on, doing my pose in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0  

Tense race, tens of thousands of people in the stadium and millions more watching from home saw me win gold at the London 2012 Olympics!

Unbelievable crowd, the noise is motivating, “Come on Usain!”

Silver is not enough for me, I am hungry for the gold.

Adrenaline is pumping in my body; I hope I can make my family, friends and fans proud.

Imagining myself as a cheetah going at lightning speed!

Numbers on the big screen got to beat my amazing record from Beijing.

Believe I can do it, I WILL win the race!

Olympics spirit pounding in my heart!

Let’s go the race begins in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, gunshot…

Terrific race, thousands of people watch me win the 2012 London Olympics 100m!

Planning our writing is a much more enjoyable task when outside in the Garden basking in the sunshine…! 🌡📓📝🔆

On Monday the 9th of May Louise Sales from SSPCA came to visit Tingwall Primary (Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) She told us about what she does for the SSPCA and showed us videos of animas that they have saved and rehomed. She also told us about what happens if you are cruel to animals and what animals the SSPCA care for.

If you’re cruel to your animals you can either get fined, sent to jail or get banned from owning animals for a year or for the rest  ofyour life.

The SSPCA is the only animal charity that cares for every type of animal in Scotland even wild animals like swans, ferrets, wild cats and pets etc.

On Thursday the 2nd of June the P7s are going to Aberdeen on a school trip.  We are going to do a lot of cool things like skiing, snowboarding, tubing, Codonas, bmxing, climbing, shopping and lots more. We are eating at Frankie and Benny’s, TGI Fridays and a Dominos takeaway. We are so excited! Less than 2 weeks to go!!!

On the 20th of May 2016 P4/7 got a visit from Michael Coutts who came in to speak to us about what the dogs do to prevent drugs and drug use. He also showed us his two dogs, Nico who is about to retire and Thor who is about to complete his training.  Michael also showed P4-7 a video of Nico in training as well as the other dog Blade.  It was very interesting! We loved meeting Thor and Nico.  Thor was very excited!! 🐶🐕🐩🐾

Graeme Patterson came in to talk about Eric Liddell who was a famous Scottish Olympian! Graeme came in on the 18th of May . It was a cross between our topic and RME! Eric was a 100m runner but he won gold in Paris 1924 for the 400m race.  He was a missionary and went to China to tell people about God. Unfortunately he died in a concentration camp in 1942 when he was only 43 years old.  Graeme also showed us some cool magic tricks!
