Me and my class are at the computer suite right now (it’s amazing that Mrs V’s class isnt in here!) and we are looking up facts on Australia. Seen as me, Claire, Rachel and Nicole are doing a group project on australian celebrations and australian slang I thought I would look up some slang. Here are some of the things i found out.

B - ‘bunyip’ is an australian yetti or bigfoot

C - ‘chook’ means chicken

D - ‘dunny’ means toilet

E - ‘esky’ means a cool box to keep beer and things cold

F - ‘full as a boot’ means drunk

G - ‘garbo’ is a person who collects your dustbin

H - ‘hoo-roo’ is another way of saying goodbye

I - ‘idiot box’ is what they call a t.v

J - ‘i’ll job you’ means i’ll hit you

K - ’kiwi’ is a person from New Zealand

The p7s are going away on a trip to a place called Ardeoniag! We leave at playtime on friday and come back on monday at 2 o’clock-ish! I am in a dorm with Lisa L, Jeanan V, Chloe D, Rachael M, Danni W and Nicola K! Its gona be real fun! I will write a diary and copy it up on here so you know what we do. Okay see yooh later!

As you probably know I live in Falkirk. We have a big festival once a year here called Big In Falkirk. It is at Callander Park and there are street performers, bands playing and food wagons. This year me and Rebecca are going on saturday and then we are going again on sunday and we will meet up with our friends Nathan and Chloe D. Nicole says she might come too. it is only on for a weekend and some really big bands play there. Last year Tony Christie played *he sang ‘is this the way to Amarillo* and there will be big bands this year too probably. it is going to be really fun. i would advise that if you are in falkirk this weekend that you go to callender park because the Big In Falkirk festival because its really good!!!!!

This year I went to big in falkirk with Rebecca. First we went up on the bus with my mum and my sister. That was about 2 o’clock. Then me and Rebecca went off by ourselves when we got there and we went and saw a show. It was a man and a woman acting out as cinema people. They pretended to sell popcorn and they danced. Then they ran behind the curtain and changed. They did a fake film called the gansters mole. The girl put on a dress and a furry feather bower and the man wore a suit. He acted being a barman and she ran in running from a bad man called Mr Big. But Mr Big kidnapped her and then the barman saves her. It was really good! And very funny because it kept going wrong! Then we went round the food and jewellery stalls. I bought a red glittery cowboy hat and Rebz got a purple one. Then we got chips and a drink! Then I saw a no needle no pain tatoo stall. I stood in the line with Rebecca and we paid £4 each for a tatoo. I got a           multi-coloured fairy on my back and rebz got a rose pattern. Most of Rebeccas tatoo has come off but mine is still there! Then we hung around and ran around the golf course. Then we watched human league and went home.

 this is the stage where we saw human league

Me and Dani and Rebecca go to guides on a thursday night 6 till9. Its really fun! Tonight Danni was off because she was ill. She has been off school for a couple of days but she says she is better and she is coming back tomorrow! But me and Rebecca went tonight and everyone made their own fires and me and Rebecca made our own! Then we toasted marshmallows and because I dont like marshmallows I toasted them then gave them all to Rebecca! She ate like 3 packets! Next week we are going to another guides to have a campnight and have a barbie and stuff! I am all sticky now because of the marshmalows and I stink of smoke! Im gonna have to wash my hair AGAIN when I washed it last night! Okay i had better go do that! bye x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x..x.x.x 

I recently told you about the school photos. The photos went really well! We havnt seen them yet because they still have to be developed I think. My class had to go along to the big hall where all the camera things were set up. We all lined up and got sorted into our sizes. I was the tallest girl…..as usual. Then all the girls got placed in the first bench. They had to sit down and hold their hands neatly. Then the school photographer took my hand and he led me up and got me to stand on the next bench right in the middle. Then he placed all the boys around me and in front of me so it turned out that there were girls sitting down in the first row then boys standing on the floor in the second row then boys and me in the middle standing on beches in the top row. Then after lunch the falkirk herald photographer came to take our photo for the paper. We had to stand in the same places but nicole and a boy *i cant remember who but they are in the paper!* had to sit forward on the ground. I think it will look really good. Mrs Sheerin was in both photos. I will see if i can put our class photo up on this blog. I hope so! bye .x

I have just finished the first paper of my level E maths test! It was much easier than I thought it would be! Everyone else is still doing their test next door but I finished surprisingly quickly and I asked if I could go on the blog. I found the test quite easy and I thought I would miss loads of questions out but I only got really stuck on like 5 or 6 questions! Just think that yesterday I was going to tell mrs V that I didnt want to do my test because I wasnt ready! I am gald my dad told me to try my test and if I failed then it didnt matter! I hope I dont fail because i want to make him proud! I think we are doing the next paper tomorrow! Okay I have to go now because its nearly lunchtime. Love you! Bye .x.x.x.x.x.

Phoebe’s race night went really well last night! I went to bed at 5.30 in the morning!!!!! It was really fun though and I won £4.70! I t finished at about 1.00 in the morning but then we went to jenny’s house and then we went to my house. I will put another post up soon to tell you how much we raised!

For accent on schools this year we are doing a sort of play thing. There are 8 main speakers and I am one of them! Accent on schools is a show that we take part in every year. Last year I was a cheerleader in our show all about love. This year it is all about eco schools. Other schools join in and everyone performs at the falkirk town hall. My mum, my dad, my sister and my friend Caggie are coming to see me this year. I am acting along with Stuart, Loren, Brenna, Danni, Lisa, Dana and Marc! It is going to be a really good show. We are singing to Abba songs but Mrs Green changed the words so they all are about eco schools. This show will be good this year and I am looking forward to it! I hope people come to see us at the town hall!!!! Bye for now xcx
