Sport's Day Review

On the 6th of June 2014 we had Sport's day at St. Cuthbert's R.C. Primary.

I was a team captain with Andrew.  We were team 2 for St. Columba's.   I had such fun.
I liked that I could encourage my team mates to do their best to earn points for our house team.  We played games at the rest station.

My favourite station was the ice cream one AND  the long jump as we got lots of points for St. Columba's.  I'm quite sad this was my last Sport's day as I really do enjoy it.

After all our stations we had flat races for each class boys and girls separately.

Then the time we had been waiting for Time to announce the house group that won...……St.Teresa's!  My house group came first!  It was the best end to the day I would have hoped for!

Sport's day

The weather was great, the equipment was ready and it was sports day. Today was going to be a good day.

Me and Kyle were team leaders of team one in St. Margaret's. As we read the list of team members in our group we figured that our team was very good therefore we had quite high hopes of winning. As soon as all our team was collected; Mrs Taylor called out each house group individually to go to their station and prepare.

We ended up at station seven, the egg and spoon race. I enjoyed that station a lot and all our team members were fairly good at it. Afterwards we moved to the long jump. That was the station were we scored the most points. We were ecstatic with our score of nine hundred and ninety.

Luckily on the dress up station me and Kyle were told not to dress up but instead to help our team. It was a great relief to know that we don't have to run around looking daft.

Finally at the end of sports day we found out the winners. Unfortunately for St. Margaret's we came last then St. Columba's came third, St. Andrew's came second and St. Theresa's came first. Sports day was really great and I will miss it a lot in St. Cuthbert's.

Sport's Day

On Friday 6th June we had Sport's Day and I was one of the team leaders with Dylan for St Theresa's house group and we were team one. 

The first station was the ice cream but the ice cream wasn't there so we had to wait until we had finished all of the the stations to get the ice cream.

The second station was the rest stop and we got to sit and enjoy the sun before we started any of the proper races.  After we had finished all of the stations it was the flat races.

When it came to the flat races it went in order starting with primary 1 then ending with primary 7. When it came to primary 7 I was so nervous but I just ran for it and I won the race.

After the flat races,  Mrs Taylor called out all of the winners from each class and they came out and got their certificate and got a their photo taken by Mrs. Gregg.  Once all the certificates were handed out, Mrs Taylor called out who had won on the points and in 4th place it was St. Margaret's, 3rd place it was St. Colmba's, 2nd place it was St. Andrew's and in 1st place it was St. Theresa's.

After winning the flat race I felt proud and winning on the points I felt overwhelmed.

Sports Day Review

On the 6th of June 2014 we had a perfect sports day. I loved being a leader of one of St.Margarets teams. First we started at the eighth station:The long jump, I didn't particularly like it but my team loved it.

My favourite station was the ice-cream station.Mmmm!

I loved all of sports day including the leadership skills I had to use.

Review

On Friday the 6th of June 2014 we had our last Sports Day, personally I hate Sports Day.
The team that won was St Theresa's,
St Andrews came second,
St Columba's came third,
St Margaret's came last.
I didn't do any activities because I had a sore leg.
But I was looking after a girl in P1

In The School Days

I'll never forget primary 1 we were all as cute as kittens,

I'll never forget the nativity (Mary's knitting),

I'll never forget primary 2 we always played with Bouncing Ben the puppet,

Pop! Went the popcorn as we ate it during the puppet show,

I'll never forget primary 3 when we went to the Water of Leith,

And we moved to the bigger playground,

I'll never forget primary 4 when we had our marvellous, mouthwatering pizza at Dominoes,

The pencil awaited me as I wrote and drew with it,

I'll never forget primary 5 where we started to learn French,

And joined athletics,

I'll never forget primary 6 I definitely enjoyed all the shocks in the risk factory,

Not forgetting St.Columba's won at sports day,

 

Last but not the least I will always treasure the days in primary 7,

Time to hit the road.

The Time of my Life

                                 I'll never forget my first day of school,

                 The Nativity,New friends and my toy pony.

               In primary 2 it was a fun year ,More friends

                                              And fun .

               Primary 3, The Water of Leith so cool and fun,

                     Unfortunately it was raining , no sun.

                       Dominos in Primary 4 so yummy

                   It was more fun because it was sunny.

 

                       We joined athletics in P5

                      It was the best I felt so alive

             

                In P6 we went to the risk factory.

          It was fun but I can't tell you what happened!

                 Lagganlia in P7 the best of them all!

         But now we have to go.. Like a bird and their nest.

                   Goodbye primary school

Moving on

Going up to the big time,
I now remember my little time,
I remember the time in the Nativity I said,
"Come here my five best sheep"

And now I am here remembering the good times
And just this moment I realise that it was
As good as it could get!

By Euan

Primary School

Time has passed since P1

Feels like yesterday.

It has been the time 

Of my life.

Time is running out

Of my primary School days.

So this is goodbye

Moving school can be sad but when you
Get there it's not that bad
The friends you will make are great!
 Life in high school now
Is that really that bad??

Time Flies

Primary School has been the best,
With the trips and masses.
Different classes and teachers,
I remember it like yesterday.

As fun as fun could get,
It has been mixed emotions.
It has only been seven years but,
Time flies when you're having fun!


Poem By Luke

Moving on

I'm going to the big time,
Lots and lots of fun has been had,
I remember it like it was yesterday,
Joining primary school.

The teachers were as nice as honey,
Fun outings,
Now I'm going on a big outing to high school.

Written By Dylan Harrison

Time After Time

The time goes by when I worry and cry,

Yet joy will never leave my smiling face,

Even through the tears I laugh,

Hiding all the tears,

Time will go slow because I regret, 

But for the one who enjoys everything, 

Time swiftly goes away,

Because time is never fair.

By Adele

Time!

Time flies by when your having fun 

But those who don't have fun time is slow 

For some school time is as sweet as honey 

But for others school time is as dim as a dark cave 

Time works wonders 

But wonders don't work time. 

By Eyuel Solomon

School Life

When I thought school was bad,

I started to be very sad.

Although that wasn't at all true,

I also wanted some friends too.

When it came to P7,

School felt like awesome heaven.

I say goodbye too all my friends,

Don't worry we'll meet again!

Written by Antoni

Life at school

Life at school on my first day 
Was not all that bad,
Even if I was sad.
When it came to primary seven 
I was really sad
Because I was leaving.
Goodbye school goodbye teachers
Time flies by when your having fun.

 Written By Andrew 

Time flies when you're at school

School,time of my life.
Years of school will never be forgotten
The people I have met,time will not forget
Although the past is set,the future is unwritten.

 By Jack

Leaving primary school

School,time of my life
Years of school I will  never forget
The people I have met,I won't forget
Although the past is set,the future still remains.

Time to hit the road

Starting from day one life's been fun,
But time flies when you're having fun,
The years went by in the blink of an eye,
Maths lesson after maths lesson,
Mistake after mistake,
Break after break,
Game after game,
And friend after friend,
A new life awaits around the bend.
                                            Harris Shahzad

Moving On

Time passes,when we enjoy ourselves
But doesn't come back, that's why 
We all need to move on 

All those fun moments we have had,
comes back into flashes of time,
those depressing moments to cheerful ones 
Always makes tears drop dawn our eyes,
Time is as fast as a flash 
But as sweet as a rose.


By Myrium

Moving on

Through 7 years,
Of laughter and joy,
It's time to move on,
And say goodbye.

Like the howl of the wolf,
Sad and scary,
High school will be a challenge,
And so will leaving.

Memories forever,
Friends for a lifetime,
What does the future hold?
Lets find out!

By Charlie

Primary school goodbye

Primary school was such fun       
But now I'm moving on to S1
It's been the time of my life
It's been a roller coster ride 
It's been as sweet as honey 
Now it's time to forget bad times
And focus on good times 
Goodbye primary school goodbye

Mystery

BANG!  I heard a loud noise in the woods.  My dog got startled and ran away.  I shouted, "Paddy!Paddy!"  I got no response so I ran frantically shouting his name over and over...then I stopped and I stared.  In front of me  I saw a little house or what was left of it, but it was out of the ordinary as it had large majestic trees sprouting out the top of it.  It had no doors and it was made out of stone bricks.  There were leaves trailing down the walls, moss was growing in-between the bricks.  The flowers made the air smell nice and fresh.

Description written by Ciera

Abandoned

Debris littered the ground, bullet shells and shards of glass glinted in the dim light of the fast fading sun.  As I walked down the path of cracked flag stones I became more and more apprehensive but I forced myself onward.  It had been years since I had been back but I could still remember every twist, turn, passage and path... or at least how it used to be.  The seemingly endless meadow of pansies and tulips had disappeared and in it's place a patch of dirt and sand was left as was what used to be a beautiful garden of fountains and mazes.  Seeing this I hoped the house had been the mainly protected point (but secretly I braced myself for the horribly inevitable truth).  As I turned the bend that truth was realised; what had happened here?  Ivy and weeds draped the once great house and nearly succeeded in hiding the broken windows and empty rooms from my tear-filled eyes.  This was my home ... And I had destroyed it!

Description written by Corinne.

Supernatural

The object came closer every second, a shadow growing bigger and bigger, and then it crashed. It made a gigantic crater that excavated the ground up onto the surface.  A creature not known yet unto  this earth lay flat and motionless on the cooling rock, and then it awoke.  It looked about searching for the thing it neaded: Life...

Description written by Antoni

Immune

I am an orphan.  I was asleep when it happened.  When the explosion happened.  I woke up to screaming and terror.  I have no idea what happened.  The plants and trees used to be bright and colourful and the  ferris wheel used to work. The place was full of people and laughter.  Well it used to be.

African Art

 A few weeks ago we created some paintings with an African sunset and a wild African animal silhouette.

"First we started off by painting the sunset using normal poster paint on a plain background.  While we were waiting for the paint to dry, we drew some silhouettes of African animals and hills on black sugar paper and cut around these outlines.  We then stuck these onto our settings.  I really enjoyed this art lesson linked to our Commonwealth topic on Africa."  Alannah

Critical Thinking linked to World Cup Mascots

This morning Primary 7  have been doing some critical thinking about the World Cup Mascots from 1966 England's Willie to 2014 Brazil's Fuleco.

We had to consider a range of questions and discuss answers and justify reasons for our answers. 

"I thought my group worked well together.  We discussed our ideas but overall we were in agreement with each other and were able to present our arguments in a clear and consise way."  Niamh

 

 

 

 

These are the points we had to consider:

Which one is the most colourful? Odd One Out? Connect neighbours by shared feature.
Which are your favourite 3 and why?
Which mascot would make the best/worst pupil / teacher and why?
If you had to take parts of 4 mascots to make a new one, which mascots would you choose and why?

Angry Birds Angles

In Primary 7 this week we have been revising our knowledge of describing, naming, drawing and measuring angles.

To describe angles we have been using the vocabulary obtuse, right, obtuse and reflex.
We found a lovely PowerPoint to help explain the different sizes of angles.

http://www.powershow.com/view/3c090f-MTlhN/The_Angles_powerpoint_ppt_presentation


We then created some Angry Bird scenes and measured the angles to sling the birds to hit the targets.
