                                                             Last week was Spanish week.

Everybody had to dress up in the Spanish colours and each class had to prepare a show about Spain. My class made picture post cards with reasons to go to Spain like a brochure. We also made mini brochures and we looked up facts about Spain, one of my facts was that Spain has a zip line going from Spain to Portugal and it is only 60 seconds long !! I found this very interesting and I hope that we will be learning and doing lots more things about Spain !!!

Swimming- Rookie

Leave a reply

Hamiltion Water Palace is where I do my swimming lessons. They do not put you in  to levels , there are special names. Rookie means learning how to be a lifeguard. So far I know how to do the two proper strokes and I am finding it easy. I really enjoy swimming. Some things I know how to do are called the rope, brick, pole, pulling them to the side, how to carry them on your back, how to talk to them , how to put them in to safety position. Being a Rookie is a lot of work but I think it is a good learning experience.

Leave a reply

Today we made our volcanos . It was really hard but we did it.

what you need

  • A cup
  • lots of paper
  • mod rock
  • block of cardboard
  • paper tape

 

What you do

  1. Get the paper and crunch it up in to a ball .
  2. Take the paper out of a ball put in a straight line .
  3. Take the paper and tape it to the cup going down the way .
  4. After taping all the paper to the cup you can start putting on all the mod rock.
  5. Now if you have stuck all of the mod rock you can start painting. Try to make it look like a real  Volcano.

Good luck,

Chloe Murray.

Philosodrama

Leave a reply

In room 12, primary 6  have been going to the G.P room and we have been doing philosodrama. If you are wondering what philosodrama  is, its a short scene of acting with a couple of people. After you have done your bit of acting you will get to ask questions about the scene. Afterwards the class have a group discussion and you need to agree or disagree with what they said. I have enjoyed philosodrama over the past few weeks.

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.

Hockey Festival

Leave a reply

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 🙂

Eco Week

Leave a reply

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 . 🙂

Hockey Tournament / Chess Tournament

Leave a reply

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.

Hockey Tournament / Festival

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.

Hockey Tournament

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.
