Hello everyone,
Last week we went to a hockey tournament at Hamilton College. On the 26th of March 2015 St John the Baptist’s Primary 6 competed at an end of term Hockey Tournament. We played against many schools from South and North Lanarkshire. Sadly we have no further information if we won the tournament or not. 🙁 If we find that we won the tournament we will make another blog about it, but this time very detailed.

Last Thursday me and my class went to a hockey festival in Hamilton College. We played many schools and saw lots of our friends from other schools. We really enjoyed our selves but some of us got injured… ( not seriously though) We don’t know if we won . ( We scored quite a lot of goals though.) We had to get an early lunch then we got a bus to Hamilton College. When we got there it was quite sunny but very windy.
We really enjoyed it .Thanks for reading 🙂

This week our school is participating in Eco Week.
During this week our school is trying not to use as much energy in order to save our world. We are trying to do lots of things like turn off our lights when we are not in the room and many other things. We have special eco homework but we also have something to do in class . We each got to pick what thing we want to do. Fortunately there were only two groups because almost everyone wanted to do the same thing. The two groups that were picked were to, create a poster about how litter can harm animals and the other was to plant mustard seeds and monitor their growth. Our homework that we have to complete in the Easter break is to buy some seeds and plant them in a biodegradable egg tray (provided by the school). When the whole school has completed their egg tray and hands it in, the school will put them out in the playground to look like a patch work garden.
So far I am enjoying Eco Week and I hope it continues . 🙂

31/03/15 Last week our class went to a hockey tournament and four of the boys in our class went to a chess tournament. The weird thing was that both tournaments were at the same place and it was at Hamilton College. The hockey tournament was very fun. We got split into four teams and my team was very good . We had a lot of good players in my team . We played 5 games but out of the 5 games we didn’t win a game sadly. We drew 4 games and lost 1. But during the games I had people asking my name. The boys who went to the chess tournament had a good time because one of the teams qualified. That was my team. I won two matches, somebody won two and a half matches and so on. We play four matches each at every tournament.

On the 26 March we went to a hockey tournament in Hamilton College and my sister Arianna was doing a gymnastics compition there and did very well. The hockey tournament was bad for our group for SJB because we did not win any matches at all . We drew twice and lost the rest. One of our teammates called Declan went on the other team for the 1st game. There were 5 games for my group. My teammates were Chase , Ellie , Melanie , Alex , Stephen , Ava , Declan and myself. It was a tough day.

On Thursday 26th of March primary 6 went to Hamilton College for a hockey tournament. We were split into 3 groups. We were playing against other primary schools. In one game group 3 won 3 nil. We all were very excited because we had been getting hockey lessons for gym. It was very tiring because we had to be fast and if we took our eye off the ball we would have lost. Everyone had a great time.
Thank you for reading.

We qualified for the finals but the finals are after Easter so I am excited for that.

Hello
I have been going to a master class called iris folding. You probably don’t know what it is. Iris folding is where you have a template and it has numbers on it. You have all different types of paper to use, and you just tape the paper on your card. When I first went to the master class I was really confused but now I love it. I have just finished my first one. Also Primary 6 have started doing it for art. My friend and I have started a chick. I needed to help her because she was getting really stuck and so was half the class. I really love iris folding and it is my teacher that takes us. 🙂

Hockey Tournament
On Thursday the 26th of March we went to a hockey tournament at Hamilton College. My team won the first game 5-0 then lost about 16-0 in the second game and then won again 2-0. We all had lots of fun at the tournament and hope that we can go to another hockey tournament in the future.
Chess Tournament
On the same day as the hockey tournament some of the boys went to Hamilton College aswell, to play chess. I was B1 which is the second team captain. My team were 2 points off qualifying for the next tournament however the first team came 6th and qualified. I won 1 out of 4 which was ok considering we were playing a lot of hard teams.
On Thursday p6 went to Hamilton College for a hockey tournament. We were split in to groups of four. Amy`s team won 1 game and drew 2. Katie’s team won 3 games. The reason we were at the tournament was because since Christmas we have been getting hockey lessons every Tuesday but sadly we aren’t getting our lessons anymore as we have had them for a while and other classes are getting the chance now. We have a hockey coach called John who was there as well. We played against lots of different schools that we had never met before. This was a very good way to make friends and play against different people. The pitch was very big and we got lots of exercise which we enjoyed . We really enjoyed the tournament and hope we could get a chance to do it again sometime.
Thank you for reading !
