Many of my teachers say I am quiet in class so this year I probably need to speak up more and get involved in class discussions..I also want to improve a little bit in all my subjects.

 I also want to do well in voilin.I want  to  improve my playing and reading of music in order to get a higher grade in it.

 Yes i have thought of subjects i might want to take in S3.I want to take art and c.d.t.When i’am older i want to be an architect because i really like desinging things and i like drawing.

In my holidays i did lots of different sports at the sport centre to keep me busy. i did badimton,cycling,archery and lots more it was really fun.The cycling was really hard work. Ii did it for two days. One day I went from Pentcaitland to Mussselburgh and it was really muddy and slippery. I also did archery which was good fun - I won a bag of sweets as I got an arrow in a bucket which was really hard but I managed.

The second week of my summer holidays was spent staying with my grandma in Aberdeen. I spent quite a bit of time doing things with my cousins Andrew and Amy including going to the carnaval, circus and cinema which I really enjoyed.

The thing I most enjoyed about my holidays was the week I spent on holiday in England with my mum, dad and sister especially the trips to Alton Towers and Drayton Manor Park. I enjoyed Alton Towers slightly more as it had more exciting rides.

My mum, sister and I travelled to Burton upon Trent by train and my dad drove down from Musselburgh and picked us up at the train station. The Marina was then only about a 10 minute drive. While on holiday in addition to the theme parks we went to a number of country parks/museums which had been set up in the new National Forest. These included a maize mace, Conkers and Snibston and were really interesting as they had loads of interactive things to do as well as great outdoor areas with play areas, country trails and assult courses  .

On the last day we had a bit of a disaster when we got back to our Houseboat to find we had no water as builders working on the marina had cut through the pipes. Lucky the people on the marina allowed us to use a narrowboat moored next door to us for water. This was the first time I had ever been on a narrow boat and although it was interesting to see it would be cramped to live on - our houseboat was much nicer.

On the last week of my summer holidays I tried something new - a weeks sking course at Hillend. It was really good fun. Now I can ski from the first red run at Hillend. At the end of the week I had to do a test. We had to snowplough turns from the first red run fast. I passed the level 3 ski test - I was so pleased. I got a certificate. The only bad thing about the skiing was when I fell one day when my ski got stuck in the astro turf and I fell flat on my face and ended up with a swollen jaw and a number of bruises.

There is nothing I didn’t enjoy about the summer holidays. I had a great time and can’t believe we’re back at school already. Its nice to see all my friends again at school but I’m already looking forward to the next holiday in October 

This anti smoking video’ shows you even if you think smoking is cool for you it is not and some people think smoking makes you look prettier but it doesn’t.The video shows you what it does to the insides of your body.Some people don’t understand what it is doing to your insides .I think they should learn about it first.It doesn’t matter if you think it makes you prettier smoking kills.

I think smoking is bad for your health altogether. I think people who start smoking are stupid and silly .They will be the ones that get serious health problems when they’re older. Younger childern are trying smoking even earlier than ever before, because their mums & dads smoke and they think it is OK. I’ve even seen people in s1 smoking outside of school . They have probably started smoking because they think it is cool - but i would strongly disagree.

Why is smoking bad for you?

1. Damages your lungs
2. more likely to have a heart atack or stroke
3. clogs up your arteries
4. gives you high blood presure

I’m really glad that they have made up the new law that people are not allowed to smoke in public places. It used to anoy me when i went into a resturant and people were smoking when we were eatiing. When you came out you were stinking of smoke so I’m very pleased and hope they will introduce a smoking ban all over Britian.

In cdt we are making boats on the computer with Mr Hall. My boat is purple and in the background three leaves clovers surround the boat. The first week we started on the boat we made the base so the boat could float then we put on the little cabin on top. The next week we put on the two funnels so the boat can go. We also changed the colour, background and what materials we want it to be.

In the holidays I’ am going to Alien Rock with my friend Samantha on Saturday the 10th of February. We are doing to an hour and a half of climbing then we are going to McDonalds that should that me up to about nine o’clock at night.

On Sunday I am going up

• To eat more fruit and veg
• Not to fight withmy little sister
• To be more orginize so i don’t leave my homework to the last minute

I am not sure how i will get on with this ,i,ll keep you posted

My christmas holiday began on the Saturday before christmas when we packed up the car and drove up to Aberdeen to spend christmas with my mums family. When we arrived in Aberdeen we went to my aunties house where me and my younger sister Rebecca played with our cousins Andrew (aged 7) and Amy (aged 3). Later my grandma arrived and we had tea. Later that night we went back to my grandma’s house where we were staying.

The next day was christmas eve and we were all getting really excited about christmas day. It was very cold in Aberdeen. In the afternoon we went to the Duthie Park. The ground was white as it was covered in frost. The duck and boating ponds were frozen and some children were even standing on top of the ice. Rebecca had never seen so much ice before and thought it was great. After the park we went home to my grandmas and had tea. After tea we played cards with my cousins and then it was time for them to leave and Rebecca and I to go to bed.

Christmas morning we woke early and Rebecca and I excitedly opened our presents in our ‘Santa’ sacks - I have to pretend for Rebecca as she is only 6. My favourite present was my pink i-pod. After getting dressed we headed round to my aunties for christmas lunch. When we arrived we had some snacks and drinks and started to open the huge pile of christmas presents under the tree. We opened the presents one by one and after about an hour we stopped to have our christmas dinner. I had turkey which I enjoyed and a couple of puddings - we were all stuffed afterwards. Later we then carried on opening the rest of the presents.- my favourite from these were my Heelies from mum and dad. At 7 o’clock we watched Dr Who and then spent the rest of the evening trying out our new presents. Around midnight we headed back to my grandmas for bed - exhausted.

On boxing day we travelled back down to Edinburgh as my mum had to go back to work on Wednesday morning.

My favoutrite thing about christmas is having fun and spending time with my family - and of course all the presents. I can’t think of anything I dislike about christmas - its all good.

Well that was my christmas - how was yours ?
