Public Holidays During Term Time
Children’s Writing Queen's Birthday - 7 June (Monday)
R14 have chosen to practise their writing about arguments Labour Day - 25 October (Monday)
by focussing on the subject of fireworks
Terms and dates for 2011
DANGEROUS FIREWORKS: Term 1 starts Monday 7 February
Term 2 finishes Friday 15 April
I think all fireworks should be banned. Term 2 starts Monday 2 May
Term 2 finishes Friday 15 July
I think this because some people are scared of fireworks. Term 3 starts Monday 1 August
The sound might scare them or even how big the fireworks Term 3 finishes Friday 7 October
are. The noise scares animals so they might run away. Term 4 starts Tuesday 25 October
Term 4 finishes Tuesday 20 December
The smoke from the fireworks is bad for the environment
so it could poke a big hole in the ozone layer. Public Holidays during Term Time
Queen’s Birthday 6 June (Monday)
Some people are not sensible with the fireworks. Some
animals get killed because of this. Things could get Dr Paul Potaka
destroyed. People could get burnt and fires could start. PRINCIPAL

I still think fireworks could be fun if silly people weren’t

silly with fireworks.
That is why I think fireworks should be banned.
Lydia R14
FUN FIREWORKS:
I think that fireworks should not be banned.
I think this because fireworks are really fun to watch. They swimming / library / gym etc. Grab yourself a bargain -
are really exciting.
Families get to spend some time together when fireworks
are on. People also get to have fireworks for other
occasions like New Year.
Sometimes fireworks can scare animals away but
fireworks are still fun if people aren’t silly with them.

 The Grampian Trio Mary Juliet and Lisa
On Monday many classes were lucky enough to be treated to a performance by this wonderful trio.
The following is a review by Jenna (Year 4 Room 3)
I think it was really great music.
I used to play the violin and I thought Juliet was really cool and her fingers practically flew across the strings.
I really liked the deep sounds of the cello and the pianist’s fingers went all over the place to produce wonderful
music.
It was brilliant.
