Last night we enjoyed a tasty dinner of soup followed by pork, potatoes and vegetables then finished with ice cream. We then headed down to the beach where we had loads of fun, sand everywhere! 🙂 Our final adventure of the day was to visit the waffle stand or frites shop. 37 pupils chose waffle stand and only 5 went for frites…I wonder what the split will be tonight! We all slept like logs and caught up on our missed sleep from the previous night.
We’re just back from a lovely day out in Brugge. The weather has been a little bit rainy but surprisingly warm. Breakfast was a selection of cereals and rolls with jam or chocolate spread, all washed down with tea and coffee.
Then we headed on the bus to Roose’s Chocolate World where we learned how chocolate is made before doing lots of sampling (just to test our learning! 😉 ) We spent some of our money on presents for our loved ones back home then headed off to the local park for some fresh air and a run around. After lunch we headed in to Brugge town centre and visited the Beguinage nunnery, the Market Square and we took a ride on a canal boat.
Right now we are frantically cleaning our rooms for room inspection before we head for dinner and then to the beach for more fun. More from us tomorrow! 🙂
We have all arrived safely after our bus and ferry journey. The weather here just now is sunny with a few drops of rain in the air. We’ve been for a walk around the town to get our bearings and we’ve located the two most important places: the waffle stand and frite shop!
We’re looking forward to a delicious three course dinner and then we’re heading to the beach for the first time. Another update tomorrow.

Today is Autism Awareness Day and p7b have been learning all about autism. We also dressed in blue to show our support for our fellow pupils who have autism.
What is Autism?
Callum: “Autism is a disorder which affects people with things like concentration, their senses, their eating habits and their communication.”
Isla: “It also affects their emotions and they sometimes can’t show their feelings. They don’t like change because they like to have a routine because it stops the world feeling out of sync.”
What have we learned about autism?
Nicky: “I’ve learned that there’s different types of autism and some are severe and some not.”
Taylor: “It mostly affects boys, boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism.”
Abbie: “I’ve learned that some autistic children like to be on their own and play rather than be in a group.”
Christopher A: “I’ve learned that every person with autism deals with it differently and has different ways of improving their confidence.”
Rebecca: “67 million people across the world are affected by autism.”
Sam: “I was interested to learn that everybody has a little bit of autism in them, just some are affected more than other.”
Fraser: “Scripting is when someone with autism repeats a phrase or word over and over to make them feel better.”
Sophie L: “Stimming is when someone with autism taps or fidgets repeatedly to make them feel more comfortable or in control.”
It is believed that all of us have a little bit of autism in us. We thought about this and would like to share:
Rabeea: “I need to have routines like having the same pencil with me and I take it everywhere I go.”
Sophie M: “My little bit of autism is OCD where I need certain things in certain places and if they aren’t there then it feels weird.”
Luke: “I don’t like anyone cutting up my food for me, it makes me feel like the food is bad and won’t taste nice.”
Callum: “My bit of autism is if anyone eats with the same fork or spoon as me I won’t use that fork or spoon again.”
Louise: “My bit of autism is getting distracted and losing concentration other very weird little things.”
Zenaib: “My little bit is that I need to have everything organised otherwise it feels weird and I feel worried.”
Alexander: “My little bit is repetitive behaviour. I like to repeatedly drum on the table or tap my foot otherwise I feel strange.”
Dean: “Mine is if food is touching other foods on a plate then I won’t eat them, they all need to be separate.”
Isla: “Mine is I have certain times when I do certain things in the morning otherwise it feels weird.”
Declan W: “I fiddle a lot and find it hard to sit still without listening to something otherwise I get grumpy and crabbit.”
Alistair: “Mine is personification of objects. If I choose something to eat (like with lunch trays) I feel the other choice will be sad for not getting picked.”
Jane: “My bit of autism is when I need to have everything super organised such as my room must be tidy and everything in its own place with my clothes set out for the next day.”
On Wednesday 25th of March Balbardie PS played Windyknowe PS. The squad line up was:Tom in goals, Daniel D and Daniel M in defence, Dean as sweeper, Sophie and Declan out wide and Logan as striker. Starting on the bench were Ewan ,Ben and Luke.
About 5 minutes into the game Balbardie took the lead with Sophie scoring a fantastic goal making it 1-0. Then Windyknowe scored their first goal making it 1-1. Just after that we all worked as a team passing the ball about and not giving up and that led to Declan scoring our second goal making it 2-1. At half time we were so happy that we were winning 2-1 so that gave us a boost for the second half. It was our kick off and we scored just seconds after it by Logan making the score3-1. Twenty minutes left to full time Balbardie won a corner, Declan took the corner it was a fantastic ball into the box and then Logan headed the ball into the back of the net and so it was 4-1. Logan went for a dribble in the last 5 minutes making it an amazing 5-1 to Balbardie. It was the first time we have beaten Windyknowe for four years.
Player quotes:
Declan: “I am so proud of the team for working as a team sticking together and passing the ball around and that led to us winning.”
Captain’scomment:
Sophie M: “I’m so happy that everyone worked as a team and not giving up when it was 1-1 and everyone was motivating each other (I’m sure the new strips gave us luck as well!).
Match report by Sophie McMillan and Declan Sneddon.
Christopher A: “Deforestation is when companies cut down rainforest trees. One reason they do this is to get the timber from the trees and they sell it for other companies to make furniture and paper products.”
Sam: “This week we wrote discursive essays on deforestation and a discursive essay is when you first of all explain what it is you are talking about and then you go on to give the arguments for and against and then you finish off with your own opinion. I think deforestation shouldn’t be allowed because we are making animals which haven’t even been discovered extinct. Also, people that are cutting down trees which may have a plant on it which cures cancer or another disease””
Alistair: “I think deforestation should stop but it is important to note that the local people are being paid to do it and will lose their jobs if the deforestation stops.”
Alexander: “I sort of enjoyed the video we watched about deforestation. It was about a person who needed a Kitkat and he opened up the packet and it was orang-utan fingers instead. The purpose of the video was to persuade people to stop buying Nestle products because they were using palm oil which involves cutting down lots of rainforest trees.”
Jane: “I am against deforestation because they are killing animals we haven’t even discovered yet. “
Louise: I enjoyed sports elective this week, musical theatre. I enjoyed auditioning for the parts and also seeing other people do their auditions for the other parts.”
Rebecca: “I also enjoyed musical theatre. I enjoyed doing the auditions and watching Christopher and Callum performing their Har-De-Har Hut scene.”
Rabeea: “This week I enjoyed learning about the cardiovascualr system with Mr Jeffries. It was fun and we made up our own movies about the heart. We could make it any genre of movie we wanted, for example action, romance or comedy.”
Tom: “I enjoyed going to sports elective.I enjoyed watching Sam get revenge on Ewan at badminton when playing King/Queen of the Court.”
Who has impressed?
Luke: “The ten members of this week’s football team impressed me by beating Windyknowe 5-1!”
Isla: “P5d impressed with their Victorian assembly. I thought the idea was excellent and the dialogue was well acted. Christopher Allan’s American woman accent impressed me at musical theatre too.”
Fraser: “Sam has impressed by doing epicly at badminton when he was playing King/Queen of the Court. His fourhand grip was great.”
Amber: “The football team have impressed me by winning against Windyknowe for the first time in four years!”
Christopher A: “Callum has impressed me this week because when we were doing musical theatre he managed to learn most of his lines off by heart!”
Tom: “Fraser impressed me by playing excellently at badminton by keeping the shuttle going and he earned the new nickname PRINCESS FRASER!”
Rebecca: “Everyone at musical theatre impressed me by doing so well in the auditions.”
Louise: “In musical theatre, the whole group has impressed me with their auditions and Christopher and Callum really impressed with their acting and learning the script.”
Rabeea: “Abbie has impressed me during swimming sports elective as she was the only one who managed to do the float challenge without falling off.”
This week in class we’ve been learning about technology used by tribes in the Rainforest. First of all we discussed what technology means…
Isla: “Technology is the solution to a need or a want. For example, humans wanted to communicate over long distances so invented mobile phones.”
Dean: “Another example is the hoover. We wanted to be able to keep our houses clean so someone invented a hoover.”
Declan W: “We wanted to be able to play our games on the move so mobile devices like tablets were invented.”
Alistair: “The Egyptians wanted massive pyramids and needed to move the huge blocks so invented a system of using logs to roll the blocks.”
The tribes in the Rainforest have three main sets of needs:
Alexander: “One of their main needs is food and water.”
Luke: “The others are shelter, warmth and health.”
Here are some examples of tribal technology:
Sophie M: “They need to communicate quietly so they use hand signals and bird whistles.”
Dean: “To meet their need for food they go hunting and use blowpipes because they are quiet so don’t startle the animals.”
Declan S: “To meet their need for food they use a drug from a plant called Barbasco which makes fish dizzy and easier to catch.”
Rabeea: “To meet their need to clean or drink water they use bromeliads because they are huge and collect lots of rainwater.”
Zenaib: “To meet their need for fire to keep warm and cook they use a fire drill. They make holes in a log and rub a stick to create friction which creates fire.”
Hannah: “To enable them to stay away from the floods, some tribes build treehouses. Some of these are as tall as 35 metres tall!”
Jane: “They use coca leafs and chew them to get rid of headaches and this meets their need for health.”
Taylor: “They use hammocks so they can stay off the forest floor to avoid being eaten in their sleep by driver ants.”
Sophie L: “They put poison from frogs on their arrows because it makes the monkeys slower and easier to catch.”
Who has impressed this week?
Dean: “Sam impressed me by overtaking Mr Berginis for a few seconds during the Sports Relief Mile.”
Rabeea: “PC Arnott impressed me with being able to cope with keeping all of us safe!”
Zenaib: “PC Arnott has impressed me by keeping us safe over the years and talking to us about internet safety and road safety.”
Sam: “Jason Bonnar in p1 impressed me by winning the dance competition we held at wet lunch!”
Christopher S: “Declan S impressed me at sports elective by saving all of the penalties in the Penalty King competition.”
Amber: “Rebecca impressed me by finally finding her pulse during the Sports Relief mile!”
Hannah: “Taylor impressed me because she done well at sports elective by keeping in time with the music.”
Sophie M: “Both the Laurens impressed me by doing excellently as Dorothy during the Wizard of Oz.”
Mr Berginis: “I loved attending the p6 show on Wednesday night and everybody did fantastically, I was very impressed!”
Isla – I enjoyed writing the story of My Day With Yarima. I had to pretend I had spent a day in the Yanomami tribe with her and had woken up the next day and written about it. I don’t know why I enjoyed it but I really did!
Rabeea – I enjoyed learning how to simplify fractions because it helped us if we had a really big fraction and it made it smaller and simpler to use.
Christopher A – I really enjoyed the p3h assembly as it was my care class and I know they have been working really hard on it and I’ve seen them rehearsing and helped them learn the songs. It was really inspirational how all the class came together and worked as a team to get it done.
Jane – I enjoyed my sports elective which was Musical Theatre. We were dancing to Greased Lightning and it was fun to learn. In the future we will be performing a show…
Sam – I enjoyed my sports elective which was badminton. We began by playing a couple of games gainst each other then we did a warm up and at the end we did a challenge called King of the Court. The winners were Tom and Ewan (p6).
Luke – I enjoyed doing the sports elective. I also did badminton. I enjoyed it even though it wasn’t the one we were supposed to do this week.
Zenaib – I liked doing Keeping Myself Safe because I learned that if a situation like that ever happened in the future I would know what to do. For example, Share It means if something bad happens you must share it with someone you trust like a teacher, parent or Childline.
Who has impressed?
Christopher A – I think p3h impressed me because as I said above they worked as a team and came together to make a wonderful assembly.
Jane – Alexander got pupil of the week and this impressed me because he helped another person in the class with her fraction work and he worked hard to understand his own fraction work.
Taylor – Everybody at Musical Theatre impressed me because we did Greased Lightning and everybody enjoyed it and worked hard to learn the dance.
Fraser – Sam impressed me by coming second in the King of the Court challenge at badminton.
Rabeea – My table impressed me by winning table of the week.

Sam – I enjoyed our assembly and us all working together as a team to create a really epic assembly.
Christopher A – All our hard work we put in paid off as it all came out so well.
Rabeea – This week I enjoyed doing the testing. I mostly enjoyed the maths one because it moved from easy to hard level and it was testing to see how difficult I could go.
Fraser – I enjoyed P.E. with Mr Jeffries because I liked working with my team during badminton to see how many points we could win.
Callum – I enjoyed reading this week’s Literature Circle reading because it was really exciting to find out what happened next in Lord Loss.
Sam – I really enjoyed Literature Circles too. It was week 4 and my role was Discussion Duck and the book is starting to get so exciting that I ended up reading to the end!

Mr Berginis – I’m very proud of all of the class for how hard they worked as a team and how well they performed their assembly (including all my rubbish jokes!)
Mr Berginis set us a technology task for homework to construct a 3D bird. We had to use light materials so that its weight could be supported by the vines in our classroom and we had to choose a rainforest bird such as toucan, macaw, harpy eagle etc.
Here are some pictures of our fantastic, finished, feathered, flying designs. Pop along to our classroom rainforest if you would like a closer look…
Fraser – I have enjoyed our rainforest topic, learning about the four different layers which are the emergent, canopy, understory and forest floor.
Rabeea – Last week I enjoyed doing drama with Mrs Innes because we were learning about slapstick. We had to form groups and we have to perform a scene and my group is Zenaib, Mrs Innes, Sophie L and myself.
Callum – I enjoyed doing the literature circle because I am enjoying reading Lord Loss by Darren Shan. It is very gory and a bit violent at times.
Jane – I’ve enjoyed literature circles also as I have really enjoyed the book so far. It has caught my attention but is also a bit confusing. My book is Lord Loss by Darren Shan too.
Alexander – I have also enjoyed literature circles. My book is called Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror. It is good but quite disturbing because it has creepy things like living dolls and evil bench ends.
Taylor – Last week I enjoyed art as we were creating leaves. We recreated leaves we had taken photos of at the Botanic Gardens. We’re using them to decorate our classroom.

Sophie M – I enjoyed the river research task too. My animal was the bull shark and one of the facts was that they can live for 16 years and they are the most dangerous sharks in the world! My partner was Taylor.
Christopher A – I enjoyed the research activity and Tom and I researched the Caiman crocodile. We learned that the female can lay up to 40 eggs at a time.
Louise – On the Amazon Challenge, I managed to complete one of the River Rewards and it was to score over 70 on the Twinoo app. Twinoo tests your mental maths and your colour blending both at the same time!
Who has impressed?
Rabeea – Louise has impressed by getting 71 on Twinoo!
Fraser – Sam has impressed me by doing some really good research on the electric eel. He was an excellent partner.
Dean – Josh has impressed me by drawing a brilliant yellow headed tortoise. He had lots of detail in it.
Luke – Christopher S has impressed me by drawing our dwarf cichlids during our research task. They had lots of detail and were exactly like the ones in the picture.
Declan – Callum has impressed me by doing his research on piranhas and drawing a detailed picture of a red bellied piranha.
Christopher A – I’m impressed with my table this week because even though we didn’t win we kept on going and tried our best. We didn’t give up on each other.
Rebecca – The Anacondas table impressed me by getting table of the week. They have been kind to each other this week.
Mr Berginis – I’m impressed with how realistic our classroom rainforest feels and the quality of work we have up on display already. Well done everybody!
WE WERE LEARNING ABOUT UNICEF DAY FOR CHANGE TODAY. IT IS ABOUT HELPING ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN GET THEIR RIGHT TO EDUCATION. WE WERE UPSET TO HEAR THAT THERE ARE MANY REASONS CHILDREN DON’T GET AN EDUCATION…
Declan S: 57 million children don’t go to school. Some of the reasons are that there aren’t enough schools and there aren’t enough teachers.
Abbie: Some don’t get to go because of poor weather conditions and also because there aren’t food facilities.
Josh: There is also the fact that school is too far away and they have to walk 5 or 10 miles to get there. Another reason is that some of the teachers aren’t qualified.
Christopher S: Some children can’t go because there isn’t enough space or because there isn’t clean water or toilets.
Alistair: The other reason is because some children are forced to work or look after their family instead of going to school.
WE WERE PLEASED TO LEARN HOW UNICEF IS TRYING TO HELP…
Isla: They are raising money to build new schools and improve the schools which are already there.
Rebecca: They are also sending over a School in a Box which contains things like rubbers, rulers, pencils, books, clocks etc.
Alexander: They are putting in clean water pumps into schools so the children have something to drink.
Emma: They are putting lunch facilities into schools so children can get warm, nutritious food.
Taylor: They are building learning centres which children can go to at different times of the day or at night.
Luke: They are training up and supplying teachers who can provide a quality education.
WE ALSO LEARNED ABOUT MALALA YOUSAFZAI AND HER INCREDIBLE STORY:
Christopher A: Malala is a girl who is now 16. She is from Pakistan. Five years ago she started writing an online diary complaining about the way girls are treated in her village.
Tom: Girls weren’t allowed to go to school and were treated differently from the boys. She spoke out against the Taliban terrorist group.
Rabeea: She was going home from school on a bus and the Taliban shot her in the head because she was speaking out against her. She went to hospital and they managed to save her. Now she is still speaking out and her message is that girls should be treated the same as boys and get the right to an education.
WE FOUND MALALA’S STORY VERY INSPIRING…
Zenaib: Malala has inspired me because she has spoken out and still does and she isn’t afraid of anyone. She is trying to get rights for girls for education.
Christopher A: Her story has inspired me too because no matter how many threats she got from the Taliban she is still pushing forward to get her voice heard and improve conditions for girls in Pakistan.
Josh: I think she is very brave to stand up to the Taliban and speaking out on behalf of girls in Pakistan to have a right to an education.
Rabeea: I was amazed by her story because she was the youngest ever person to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize which has been won by people like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.
Louise: I think she is very inspiring because she stood up for her rights and everybody else’s rights and she believes in her own personality.
Christopher S: I think she is inspiring because after being threatened and almost killed she is still talking out about what she believes.
Isla: I find her really inspiring because no matter how many times they threatened her or tried to kill her she didn’t give in.
Mr Berginis: I find the story of Malala very emotional, especially seeing everybody raising their hands in the video and saying “I am Malala” to show their support.
WE DID OUR OWN TRIBUTE TO MALALA…
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MALALA…
On Thursday we went to Bathgate Academy to take part in the annual p7 ceilidh. We joined with pupils from p7m as well as schools such as Boghall Primary, Blackburn Primary, Murrayfield Primary and Simpson Primary and it gave us a chance to get to know some of the pupils who will be our classmates in S1. We showed off the dance moves we have been learning in PE this term by doing the Canadian Barn Dance, Gay Gordons, Military Two-Step, Strip the Willow and Dashing White Sergeant. We also got to sample some tasty haggis bon-bons which had been prepared by the Home Economics epartment.

Christopher A: “I think the whole class impressed me by learning the Dashing White Sergeant so well because we all committed to it and put in lots of effort.”
Louise: “My whole table (Foo’s Yer Doos) impressed me yesterday in table toppers because we won so many points.”
Rabeea: “My dancing partners for the Dashing White Sergeant were Sophie and Alistair and they impressed me by staying in time with the dance.”
Sophie M: “Dean impressed me by carrying the haggis around the room and not dropping it during the Piping of the Haggis at our Burns Supper!”
