A few weeks ago our best chess team entered a tournament and we came first. Our team included me, Connor, William and Liam. Connor beat the best chess player in South Lanarkshire. I won all my matches. Me and my team were so proud that we won. Our parents were ecstatic.

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.

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.

Chess Tournament
On Thursday the 26th of March I went to a chess tournament at Hamilton College.
I won 2 and a half games out of four.
We qualified for the finals but the finals are after Easter so I am excited for that.

This is a picture of our trip to Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. We went in March and we had a fantastic time. We really enjoyed our workshops and the tour. We realised we had learned a lot doing our topic on Natural Disasters, as we were able to answer most of the questions the guides asked us. My favourite part was the volcano video screen and the walkway that shuddered and shook as the volcano erupted. That was really cool. The iceberg was really cool too! Not just cool but extremely cold!! Which were your favourite parts?

DYNAMIC EARTH
Hello everyone,
Two weeks ago our class went to Dynamic Earth. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I got to learn how the world works. It was really interesting. We participated in two work shops. In one we did lots of things but my favourite was when we got two bottles one on top of each other with water inside them. We spun them round in circles which created a hurricane. For me it was quite fascinating and I was intrigued. At the end of the day all of the class including Mrs Lobodowska and Mr Kettlewell got their picture taken. Then Mr Kettlewell glued the picture to a card and gave one to each of us. I had a really great time and I am thankful because Mr Kettlewell and Mrs Lobodowska went through a lot of trouble to get us that trip.
Thank you for reading my blog!

When our class went to Dynamic Earth I didn’t expect it to be AWESOME. I thought that it was going to be big in the first place. I kind of knew that there would be a shop there. Mr Kettlewell gave us a picture, an Easter egg each and a bouncy ball each. I’m sure all of the class was very greatful. After the trip he ended up leaving the week after.
Thank you for reading my blog about Dynamic Earth/Mr Kettlewell
A week ago we went to Dynamic Earth.
Dynamic Earth is so awesome because it has interesting facts, fun activities, an iceberg, a video and foam coming down from the ceiling. There are so many rooms and for the first time I enjoyed going on a school trip with a long ride on the bus. The best part was the iceberg. People were touching it, people were licking it. I bought top trumps to play on the bus and a soft toy for bed.
Thanks for reading my blog.

On the 26 of February 2015 I am going to Hamilton college to play in a chess tournament. I am very excited and I hope we win most of our games.
Recently we have been doing very well at the chess tournaments but some of us are going to a football tournament sadly but I think we will do fine.
