Hi Callum , hope you're having a great time in SCOTTLAND . On the wednsday i'm going to the Circus out of Africa.

Lily.N

Last Weekend, My brother had a Soccer game.He plays for Masterton Intermediate School.After his game, we visited
a few bookshops in town.In Paper Plus, my mum bought me a new book.
I can't wait to read it!
After visiting Hedleys, Paper Plus and Hunting and Fishing, we had Morning Tea/Lunch
at The ten o'clock cookie.I had a mince 'n' cheese pie and an iced chocolate.{Iced chocolates are SO NICE!! especially at the ten o'clock cookie!!!}
After that, we picked up my brothers friend to stay the night.For dinner, we had sausages
and baked potatoes with a side of vegetables.After a yummy but appetizing tea, we watched a movie called: Hot Fuzz.
It was AWESOME and action packed. But I would recommend no small children to watch it.
Hot Fuzz finished at 10:50pm.
On Sunday, I went to my neighbours house.I groomed her horse.Her horses name is Liv.
LIV IS THE SWEETEST HORSE YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE! She shined after half an hours grooming.Pip is her owners name.Pip said I did a really good job.
Thanks Pip!!

So, thats my weekend.

Bye for now everyone!

For all of you who wanted to know how my holday is so far it is great.
I cannot tell you what "The Tower" is called unless you specify to me which one.
I was uploading a video on which way the water goes down the plughole but

Jayci

Hi my name is Jayci
In the holidays I went to Napier to visit my Nana and grandad. Mum and Lou had to go home early because mum had another sinus infection.But the good side of that was I got to stay longer. My Nana and grandad had to work during the day so I went to my friends house her name is Chayne. We were bored so we decided to clean out the sleep out. I had to clean all the fly poo off the roof. We had to scrub the walls and vacuum the floor. We had finished all of that then we had to paint the shelves a baby blue kind of colour. We thought that it looked empty so we decided to bring some of the furniture from the garage into there. Now it looks cool and we feel more safe being in there.

Hi Everyone,

I just arrived back from St Andrews last night and got some pictures which you can see above this message(they are of the Discovery Ship in Dundee which we passed on our way back to Aberdeen from Fife.)

We also had a trip to Edinburgh which I took pictures of but cannot attach because they are on another computer which is not on his system/network thingy.

Thanks,Callum

Mr H

Hi Callum
It sounds like you are having a very busy time. I like the photos showing all the castles and historical monuments etc. It makes you realise how "young " New Zealand's european history is.Only 1 week of holidays left.
Mr H

In St Andrews

Hi Everyone ,

It is now afternoon(I wrote my other blog this morning),and we are in St Andrews.

I have not taken any pictures yet but just thought I should mention it.

Thanks,
Callum

Keeping up with the blog!!!!!!

Hi Guys,
(Sorry how the pictures go all over the place)

Since I last wrote to you I have been to Balmoral Castle, The Falkirk Wheel,Satrosphere the Science Museum, along the top part of the beach in Aberdeen, and have just arrived in Stirling.

I will explain a little about each of them:

Balmoral Castle is the Scottish home to the British Royal Family and you can find out more about it
at www.balmoralcastle.com.
While we were there we walked round the garden and grounds ,went to the buildings where they kept the artefacts,and bought lunch at the cafe.
The Falkirk Wheel is some kind of waste of money that the government could of spent on helping the Global Credit Crunch Thingy and if you go to the website,which is by the way www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk,dont get too excited by what it says.


Now we can move onto Satrosphere-
Its a Kids Science museum by the beach in Aberdeen.
It studys all the things we do at school except in a funkier format to draw peoples attention-
I got some pictures of various exhibits and the experimental shows with one really cool
one about Volcanoes.

I thought I should mention to you I stopped writing this blog for a day so in that time we visited
The Wallace Monument, and Stirling Castle.

If you really want to find out more about these go to www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/stirling/stirlingcastle/#top and www.nationalwallacemonument.com.

Ok,Bye For Now-
Callum

Mr H

Hi Callum
I hope you are feeling better. I just had a look at the Alford Valley train on the internet. Are the schools on holiday yet? Perhaps the older class may want to communicate with our class next term. I guess their new classes start after the summer holiday. I have been in Wellington for 2 days learning some ICT tricks.
Mr H

Super Blog!!!

Hi Everyone,

I have not been keeping up with the blog lately so in this blog? I will attach all the media that Ineed to catch up on that I possibly can.

I will attach the Alford railway photos,an aerial view of Heathrow airport and a few things more.

Also note I have not been well lately(I had a serious nosebleed this morining)so I wont be online much.

Video added

Hi Guys
I hve uploaded our eating for health skit. Check it out in the video bar on the right hand side
Mr H

Mr H,

Hi Callum
It is Saturday morning here now and school is now finished for the holidays. When I took the photo of the swimming pool it looked pretty bleak and not very inviting.
Bye for now
Mr H

Elrick Primary

Hi Everyone,
I am writing this from Elrick Primary School in Elrick,Aberdeenshire.My cousin Jill teaches here so we are visiting a yr 2-3 class.

Thanks for sending in the photos Mr Hornby-they were really interested in the swimming pool.

It is Friday here and is the last day of school with them so they were doing a "concert" sort of thingy.I will attach sdome clips of that when I finish writing.
Has anyoneheard of a smartboard?They are a white board with a USB socket and speakers that you plug into a projector.Every class here has omne-it is really cool.

Also here the classes are "open-plan" so each class is just marked out of a big room with a bookshelf or something.

We were pushed for time so I didnt get to do everything I wanted to but it was cool visiting another cschool anyway.
Another thing I found interesting was the times-each class starts at 9 am but the seniors end 20 pt 3 and the juniors end 2:45.



Thanks Callum

Deeana

Hi Callum Deeana here, you're dad told us you're visiting a school if they ask you about us you can tell them about our blog and they can write to ask us about our school on our blog, or they can look at the website.
