The haka dance is a dance don by the maori tribes that live in New Zealand. we primary fives got split into groups. One of the groups had to create a dance to scare off the enemies because your tribe had lost lots of men and I was in that group.The other group hade to create a victory dance. Then we performed our dances in front of our classes primary sixes and primary ones and they liked the dances.
Our teacher told us we were doing a Haka dance and we saw it on the computer. Mrs Coffield put us in two groups these are the people who were in my group. Natasha, James, Lauryn, Stella and I. Mrs Coffield said we will do a show in the Gym hall and we got to do our own costumes it was really good. So it was Thursday we were getting ready, and putting on are own costumes and Mrs Coffield painted are faces it gave you the giggles. Mrs Coffield asked some classes to come and watch. So my group went first i was so nerves but I got through it. After that the other group went on they were very good.Then when everyone done it we all went on to the stage then we through are head bands. Then Miss Kerr realized that it was on so she asked us if we could see it again we went ok she told me to get Mrs Gardner and the ladies from the office. Then we do it again it was a grest dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie Prince Charlie was the leader of the Jacobites. They fought with the English because they wanted Charlie to be the King. They fought lots of battles. Charlie had to go on the run. Flora MacDonald helped him. She got him to wear a dress. She took him on a boat to Skye. Flora went to jail for helping Charlie. Charlie got away.
I liked doing this topic because I learned a lot.

Tuvalu is a country that is an island. It is near Australia.
In Tuvalu (due to the planet heating up) icebergs have been melting and the water that comes from there is rising the sea level which is flooding Tuvalu. So far some of the children have been playing in the water, but that isn’t all that’s coming. There’s still more to come and when that water comes the whole of Tuvalu will be completely flooded.
I feel sorry for the people in Tuvalu because they’ll have to leave their homes. We can stop this by trying not to use all that electricity and to stop global warming.

Some places in England have not been accepting Scottish Banknotes. This is making Scottish visitors very unhappy. The law is that they should be treated exactly the same as any English Banknote but it is the shop or company owner’s decision. Some shops in London, such as flower shops, cafes and cleaners would accept Scottish Banknotes but it seems that big shops might not accept them still.
