My Rabbits

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:39:00 +0100

Two weeks ago my dad came in saying that we are getting ANOTHER rabbit. But not only will i be getting a rabbit, the rabbit it only a little 3 week old bunny! I am getting it because my nextdoor neighbours friend had 2 rabbits but what they didn't know was that they were a buck and a doe ( Male and Female rabbits )and now they have got 7 babys! So they came to ask my dad if we could look after one.
Also my dad built a new hutch with 2 floors. The rabbits will be seperated though just incase they fight. The hutch is looking great and my other rabbit Thumper staying in it just now. I will be getting my baby rabbit soon as it needs to stay with its mother for about 3 or 4 weeks.
I am very excited about getting my new rabbit and hope that Thumper will be excited about the new arrival comming soon. I might get some photos and keep an update on how both of them are doing.

Robert Burns

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:20:00 +0100

On Tuesday the 11th of March the both Primary 7 classes went to Robert Burns cottage. First we went into a room and a man there told us about the life of Robert Burns.

Then half of the class went to the museum. In the museum there were chairs, old pens and old guns. And the other half went into the cottage.

In the cottage we watched a little video which told us about all of the rooms. We went into the barn and saw some animals, we went into the main room which had statues of Robert Burns family all talking, then we went into the kitchen and we got to see the little small bed where Robert was born.

Then we went into a theatre where we saw a play about Tam O Shanter is was quite scary when it showed you the warlocks and witches and ghosts. It was about a man called Tam who stayed in a pub and on his way home he passed a church and when he looked in the window he saw witches and warlocks all dancing. But then someone saw Tam and they all started chasing him and his horse Meg. But one of the witches caught Tam and pulled of Meg�s tail. But he made it safely home.

Then we went to the Robert Burns monument and went to the top. Then we went to see the church were Tam saw the witches. Then we even got to cross the bridge where Meg got her tail pulled off.

The trip was very fun and I would like to go again.

Robert Burns Assembly

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:34:00 +0100

Today we had our Robert Burns assembly. We could not do it on the 25th of January as there was too much going on so we had our chance today. We had to go up early to set up the microphones and the chairs. We were all very nervous. When the classes started coming in everyone was excited. Primary 1 up to Primary 6 came to see us including all the teachers.
We started off by saying Good morning and singing Rantin� Rovin� Robin. Then we sang some poems. There was a boy in our class who pretended to be Robert Burns and did an act on nearly everything we said. He had to wear black trousers and a waistcoat and had lots of props.
There were also narrators who talked in between the songs. At the end we sang one of Robert Burns�s famous songs called Auld Lang Syne. On the last verse we had to join hands. Then we thanked one of our teachers for playing the piano and gave her a box of chocolates. We also thanked some teachers as we had to use the drama hall to practice and that took up some of the teacher�s drama time. At the end everyone clapped and we got good comments that our singing was brilliant. I think we all did great at our assembly.

A Mans A Man For A' That

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 09:44:00 +0100

Is there for honest poverty
That hings his head, an a� that?
The coward slave, we pass him by-
We dare be poor for a� that!
For a� that, an a� that!
Our toils obscure, an a� that.
The rank is but the guinea�s stamp
The man�s the gowd for a� that.

A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis duke, an a� that,
But an honest man�s aboon his night-
Guid faith he mauna fa�that
For a� that, an a� that,
Their dignities, an a� that
The pith o sense an pride o worth,
Are higher rank than a� that

Then let us pray that come it may
(As come it will for a� that).
That sense and worth o�er a� the earth,
Shall bear the gree an a� that
For a� that an a� that,
Its coming yet for a� that,
That man to man, the world o�er
Shall brithers be for a� that.

Limericks

There was a rare dog from Mars
Who knew how to drive a car
For he said that it�s cool
To drive into a pool
That crazy old dog from Mars

There was an old man from Blackpool
Who described himself as cool
For he jumped off a wall
And ended up in a mall
That cool old man from Blackpool

A white shell

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:23:00 +0100

A white shell
A farmers sell

An egg cracker
A feather packer

A fluffy ball
A sharp call

An egg layer
A silent prayer

A breakfast eat
A new eat

A Butchers shop
A new chop

My New Rabbit

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:32:00 +0100

A few days ago I got a new little rabbit. I got the rabbit from my cousin because she does not play with it. I called my rabbit Thumper. Thumper is a lovely light brown colour with a small white tail and some black stripes. He is very, very greedy he eats all day long. I give him carrots, leafs, cabbage, lettuce, grass and sometimes apples. I clean his hutch out once a week nd put new hay and sawdust in his cage. My dad made him a big square cage with wire netting around it for him to run about in. Thumper is a great rabbit and I have taught him a few tricks such as run up and down which he does when I made a crumbling noise because he thinks its food and gets excited and I have also taught him to give me kisses.
Thumper is a brilliant pet and I hope he will continue being good!

Tetrahedron

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 13:40:00 +0100

A couple of days ago P7 M and P7S had good news and bad news. The good news was that a woman came in to make a tetrahedron but the bad news was that only one class could do it. So our headteacher put our class names on two bits of paper then one of our teachers picked a hand and it was our class!
First we went into the gym hall and the woman showed us how to make little tetrahedrons we made lots and lots of small tetraherdrons then we got into groups of 4. Then we got 4 small tetrahedrons and put them all together with ealastics then it was the last bit. We got some big people in our class and put all the tetrahedrons together to make one big giant tetrahedron. The big tetrahedron was 5 metres tall. We got to walk through the tetrahedron and so did Skippy. Then we got a picture taken with it. It was really fun!

The Bridge

Fri, 14 Sep 2007 14:34:00 +0100

Today p7 were at the bridge again. We did lots of different things. We are now split into two groups one for drama and dance and one for singing. We have to make a friendship song and dance moves.

White Tiger

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:18:00 +0100

White tigers are very rare in the jungle so you couldn�t find many. White Tigers are nearly extinct as there is not a lot of them left. A pure white tiger has no stripes and are completely white. In the wild white tigers live to about 10 to 15 years where in zoos they live as old as 20. White Tigers eat cattle, pigs baby elephants and sometimes even bears. Tigers keep their cubs for 2 to 3 years and by that time they can hunt and look after themselves.

White tigers are brilliant swimmers but they can�t climb as well. White Tigers hunt at night and relax in the day time. There are only about 5000 tigers left in the world. At the beginning of this century it is estimated that there were 100,000 wild tigers, today the number is less than 8,000. Simply put, tigers are disappearing in the wild. The main threats to tigers are poaching and habitat loss.
White Tiger males weigh up to 500 pounds and the females only weigh up to 250. A white tiger and many other tigers use there claws to scratch places to mark their territory. White tiger cubs are born blind and only weigh 1kg!
The head of a white tiger normally has a mark of a Wang or king.

A Poem

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 19:25:00 +0100

I got this book from the libary called pet poems and I really liked this one so I thought I would put it on the blog

Puppy And The Sausage

He thinks its fighting back
When it burns his nose;
He prances all about it
Barking, making shows.

He snaps at it but its to hot;
Tosses it up high,
Then stops to sniff and study it
Pawing nervously.

Now suddenly, the burning cooled
Here comes the last attack;
He grabs it in his baby teeth
And gulps the sausage back

By Gabriel Fitzmaurice

I hope you liked this poem as it made me laugh.
Bye for now, Nicole

Holiday Poem

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 21:14:00 +0100

Have fun on your holidays
Orange,Lemon and blackurrant Ice-Lollies
Lying in the sun getting a tan
In the pool people splash around
Dancing in nightclubs and staying up late
And building sandcastles in the beach
Yellow sun shines out brightly
Sandles, sunglasses, shorts are worn

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and enjoying your holidays if you go. I am going on holiday soon too i will be going on a plane with my friends and family.
HAVE FUN!!

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 21:31:00 +0100

Finally it is the summer holidays and we are away from school. Today in school we had a sandals, shorts and shades sing-along. The sing-along was great. Me, Karen , Caroline, Chelsea and Counrtney had to go to the front of the the full school and perform a dance because we were so good at it when we were dancing in the classroom. Everyone got an ice lolly. I thought it was a perfect way to end the day. We also got to have a bubble party that was when everyone went out into the playground and got bubbles and blew them everywhere. Today in school was absoloutly amazing

Haiku Poems

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:34:00 +0100

Butterflies dance around
The sun is out in the sky
Sunflowers shoot up high

The animals are playing
The sun is up in the field
The ducks are quaking

Barbecues are lit
You can smell the food all around
Children having fun

Flowers are swaying
Bees are collecting honey
Children are playing

The trees are full of leaves
The insects are eating
The children are sleeping

These were my Haiku Poems we wrote them out in the garden in our new chalks.

This is my Gyro Swings. We did it with K-nex because Mr Johnston said we could do something fun. We have been learning about K-nex in P6. There was a instruction book and thats found out how to make this. It was very hard to make the swings. The swings turn round and go up and down when they are spun the seats can also be spun. It was great fun!
