Ok, let’s see who is on the blog this weekend. A prize on Monday for whoever gets it first. It’s a predictor so just guess and you’ll need to post your guess BEFORE kickoff.
Which player will score the first goal in the Man Utd v Arsenal match this weekend?
Good luck!
Well done to the P7 boys who were invited to play in a P7s football tournament at Stonelaw High School this week.
They finished joint top of the group with 4 wins out of 5, defeating Burgh 3-1, Bankhead A 2-1, Bankhead B 2-0 and Burnside 2-1. They then lost out in their final game to St Columbkille’s.
The team consisted of: Robbie Hemfrey, Euan Kennedy, Andrew Greenen, Callum Balsillie, Adam Costello, Lewis Cameron, Rhys Conner, Kyle Miller, Cameron Eardley and Kieran Stewart.
Well done boys.
Tonight (23rd April) is World Book Night where everyone is encouraged to take a break from the tv or the xbox and read a book. It is being held on this date because it marks the 397 year since the death of William Shakespeare.
“World Book night strips everything away to the bare essential: the good hearted feeling of a book in your hand, a companion by your side, the best of friends on your road through life. A good book nourishes the soul and gladdens the heart. It lifts you and makes things seem possible that didn’t seem possible before. I am so happy that Red Dust Road has been chosen as one of the twenty books to be passed hand to hand, word to mouth, on the road.” Jackie Kay, Scottish Poet and Novelist.
We’re all sitting reading tonight here at the Bamford house: I am reading “To Kill A Mocking Bird,” by Harper Lee, Lorna is reading, “Death of a Kingfisher,” by MC Beaton, Jamie is reading, “The Mysterious Benedict Society,” by Trenton Lee Stewart, and Jude is reading, “Everything’s Amazing (Sort Of),” by Tom Gates.
Extra points on the Star Class chart for anyone who posts a comment on this post telling me what book they are reading at the moment – double bonus points if your parents post what they are reading!!!!
Happy reading.
Mr B
PS – Automatic extra playtime for anyone who can figure out why I might be re-reading “To Kill a Mockingbird,” at the moment. That’s a tricky question, but a clue can be found elsewhere on my blog!
Well the puppy has now arrived and we have all fallen head over heels for her!
She is doing really well with her training already (no verbal warnings yet!!!).
And, after many, many deliberations and starting off with a list of 28 different options, we finally agreed on a name and it is ……. Scout.
Hope you’re all having a great break so far. More updates on Scout to come!
