Oooops, it's been a while. I've had a LOT to get through, but here it goes! Health Week, part two. So, on Wednesday we had History with the most epic teacher ever, Mrs Adams. She devised a test and scavenger hunt for the class and split us into teams. I was in one with my best friend Sophie, my friend Jack T and his friend Jack Neville, known as Neville. He's a bit weird and chavvy, but he's all right. The test was more like CopyCats. Round One- one of us played an assigned song on a kazoo and the others tried to guess which one it was. Sophie picked up the kazoo. Now,  I am NOT one to keep up with the charts, and thought it was Jingle Bel

I'm afraid that I've spent so much time complaining abut the Sports Day Season that I quite forgot about Health Week. Have I mentioned before that my year are the guinea pigs for a new education scheme called Curriculum for Excellence? Basically we pick our elective subjects at the end of first year, not second, and we get five choices as opposed to six. The Curriculum also means that the school wants to shake everything up to make it more "interesting". As such, it's out with the old "boring" Health Week- five days of studying healthy food and exercise, with some special PE like climbing- and in with the brand new Health Week! School spirit!

The Sports Day Season continues on, a raging war set in the grounds of Peebles High School led by in tha blue cornaaaaaaa........ the PE Preachers! And in the PURPLE cornaaaaaaaaa...... StarrySky! Allow me to narrate the events leading up to the Battle of the Gruesome Glomp. Now, at this time of year, while us lowly younger years face our fearsome fitness foes, the upper years do battle with the Evil Exams. We don't have a lot of halls available for them to take their exams in so sometimes they turf us out of the Games Hall (it's an outbuilding about the size of a basketball court. Well, exactly the size, plus two changing rooms.) or the gym
