Handball festival
Today we went to a cluster handball festival at Whitburn community centre. We joined Whitdale, Longridge and St Josephs.
We formed 3 teams. We were called Canada A, B and C. Each team played 3 matches. Each match lasted 4 minutes.
We had to make 3 passes before we were allowed to shoot and could only take 3 steps if we had the ball. It was very competitive.
We used our teamwork, attacking and defending skills to try and score in each match.
Canada A won the matches on court 1.
We are hoping to start a handball club in school as we really enjoyed it.

Christmas party
P4/5, p5/6 and P7/6 had their Christmas party on Monday afternoon. We had a disco and strutted our dance moves for all to see. We did the Macarena and the cha cha slide.
We played different party games too. We played musical arms. It’s similar to musical chairs but you link arms when the music stops. It’s great fun.
After all of our dancing we stopped for a snack. We had juice and crisps and a chance to chat.
To end our party we danced the gay Gordon’s and the dashing white sergeant.
We all had a great time at our Christmas party.
Visit to Dynamic Earth
As part of our topic “Natural Disasters” we went to Dynamic Earth to learn more about them.
We had a tour of the gallery and learnt lots of interesting facts.
We had to travel back in time to find out how our planet first started. Â This is called the “Big Bang”.
We then experienced what would happen in an earthquake, the floor moved beneath our feet, and how quickly lava would flow. We watched a video about how glaciers helped form the land around us.
After that we learnt more about the first lifeforms on Earth, what an iceberg feels like and animals in the rainforest.
“I learnt that 70% of the Earth is water” Lucy
” I learnt that one of the first reptiles on the planet was a lizard” Rebecca
” I learnt that sabre-tooth cats were hunted and not extinct like the dinosaurs”
In the afternoon we took part in a “shake rattle and roll” workshop. There were lots of activities to do with Natural Disasters. We had to make an earthquake proof building, learn how tsunami are made, sort rocks to see which ones were meteors, make a tornado in a bottle and label/draw different volcanoes.
We had an amazing time and would love to go back again.
