Through The Years
It doesn't seem like seven years
Since I started Elmgrove School
Through those Years I learned a lot
And how to obey the rules.
My scariest years were P1 and 2,
Finding out just what I had to do
But by P3 all had calmed down
I was one of the oldest girls in infant school town.
P4,5 and 6 get your head down and prepare
For the exams you face in the 11+ scare
But everything came out alright I can say
With thanks to my teachers, especially Mr Gray

ELMGROVE CHILDREN GIVE CHRISTMAS BOXES TO THE POOR
Dave Cooke started Operation Christmas Child eight years ago.
The Samaritans Purse organisation runs this christmas box apeal so every year they have to send all the boxs to differnt countys . All the countys like Romania , Russia , Bosnia , and Eastern Europe Armenia . So one of the schools in the UK are helping rase boxes for this apeal . So Elmgrove Primary School is one of them and they have been doing this for three years . The first year they did this they raised 44 boxes the second year they got 137 boxes and this year they got 349 boxes . There was lots of people who helped do this christmas apeal and even people that did not know helped as well . All the things that they put in the boxes where things like socks, gloves,hats, toothpaste,sweets,soap talc ,toys,pencils and a little christmas card with a photo of themselfs and a letter to say that they would have a lovely christmas . They sent the boxes to all ages like 0 2 yrs , 2 to 4 yrs,5to 9yrs and 10 to 14 yrs when they put the boxes together they got a box and put wapping paper on and put the stuff into it and put the letter on it. Then what they had to do to get all the toys they had to ask some people for some old toys and ? gather up some of there own . And then when they got all the toys they needed they put them into the boxes and then put them into a big lorry and sent them of to all the poor people in all the diffiernt contrys . Then one day all diffiernt people from the operation christmas child came to Elmgrove primary school and put on a video and it told them more about this apeal . So I hope that you can give toys to the poor . By Stephanie and David .

Early Days
My first day at Primary School,
I didn't know what to expect,
I knew as I walked up the path,
There would be no turning back.
There stood a great big Elm tree,
Beside the entrance gate,
I must hurry up the path,
I didn’t want to be late.
My first teacher was Mrs Horner,
A lady with silver grey hair,
I always did what I was told,
And my teacher was always fair.
As I did my work each day,
I always did my best,
When I needed help I raised my hand,
And put the teacher to the test,
I always have enjoyed the school,
And wore my uniform with pride,
But something's cannot stay the same,
And I must take the stride.
I had many different teachers,
And I loved them everyone,
We had our good days and our bad,
But most of them were fun.
My final teacher was Mr. Gray,
He's simply was the best,
He helped me through my 11+,
And every single test.
So Mr.Gray I'd like to say,
A very big THANK YOU,
For all you've done for me this year,
And what you've put be through.

Danny Champion of the World .
The author of the book that this film is based on is Roald Dahl . Danny lives with his father Danny and his father lives in a gipsy caravan Danny had not been attending school before now because his dad was a qualified teacher and was teaching him at home . Danny 's dad works in his garage in the daytime and at night time he goes poaching . The landowner was Mr . Hazel and he wanted Danny 's fathers land to build a new town . I think Danny and his dad were popular because when they needed help people came to help them . Danny 's dad had to stop poaching for a while because he broke his leg . The poilce -mans excuse was that Willam had a leg injury . They sewed sleeping tablets to put the pheasants to sleep . When they put their plan into action they caught alot of pheasants . I would make a trap to catch pheasants so that I would not kill them .
Dear local residents,
I know you think the quarry is an ugly hole . I know it may pollute your water however we are going to put down a special chemical seal. We are going to put a bird scaring deince . The quarry might be a smelly place beside your house. We know there is a load of traffic as your children walk home from school . We understand that you do not like the quarry beside your house. In thirty years time there is going to be a quarry park were people can go and enjoy themself .

I wake up every morning
I jump out of my bed,
I dress my-self very quickly
And out the door I head
I run into the school
And sit down on my seat,
I always know the morning ends
With a special break-time treat.
We come in from the playground
And we're ready for our work,
We have English, Maths and Science
Boy this is harder than I thought.
We have our dinner at a quarter past 12
Then we play outside,
At 1'o clock we all hear the bell
Then line up in a nice neat line.
We all come in to the classroom
And do a little more maths,
The bell will ring at 3'o clock
And we will all go home at last.

What is school?
A place where teachers boss you about all day If you be good you'll be A okay.
What is a teacher?
A brilliant person who helps you learn if you talk he / she will gurn.
What are students?
Children who just want to play. There really not that bad .Are they?
What is work?
Something that student's dislike, when they don't finish it teachers get uptight.
What is break and lunch time?
A time that's fun for everyone, when we have to go in it's really dull.

Speed Train At 3pm
On Monday 10th May people and families were waiting for the three o'clock train to Bangor. The people were waiting quite normally.The train approached at 2:58 exactly. The people took a step forward when suddenly they heard a loud screech the people gasped and took a step backward and and realised that the train wasn' t going to stop.The engine driver turned the siren on.The people knew that they were about to impact into the building.The people braced themselves tightly to the seat. Some froze others were rushing towards the rear end of the train.Ü?€>? ?? ,Î?Some people ran and called for help. SUDDENLY there was a crash luckily it only hit the building quite gently everyone had a sigh of relief. No one was badly injured only a few minor cuts and bruises. There was 64 people on board the train, they had come back from Bangor. They were all so happy that they were not involved in a terrible accident.

A School Poem
As I started p1 in 1994,
I was a little bit scared as I went in the door
We soon settled down, the next thing I knew
The year had gone by I'd moved on to p2.
Looking back p2 and p3 were such fun
Learning, reading and writing and doing our sums
Having stories read to us and watching T.V.
Being in the play area making pretend cups of tea.
Then it was time to leave the wee end behind
On to our teacher Miss McBride
Now in p4 we stay an hour longer
Our school work improved, our minds got stronger
One year later here I am
with my sandwiches filled with ham
Would you believe it I'm in p5
To think I'll soon be old enough to drive!
P6 started off like all the rest and from Easter we got ready for our Transfer Test
Even when school stopped at the end of year, we had work to do it and I couldn't cheer
Working instead of going out with all our friends I think we will be glad when the test ends!
September 2000 our last year at Elmgrove begins
We get lots of test papers our heads start to spin
Roll on November when the test will be over
Then maybe our brains will start to recover
The rest of p7 was great to be in
With are trips to places we'd never been
I only hope that wherever we go to
We will be as happy as we were at Elmgrove Primary School.

Leaving this school is going to be the hardest thing I will have to do, also I will miss all the primary school teachers I've had in the past.

Glastry is the high school I will be leaving to go to, I hope I meet nice teachers but they won't be as nice as the teachers in Elmgrove.
Running schools must be very hard but I know this school must be the best, all the teachers, helpers and the headmaster.
Older and older we get as in the next 6 or 7 years or even more than that we will be leaving school to get a good job.
Very soon p7's will be leaving it will be the summer holidays p1-p7 teachers will be getting a new class as another year goes past.

The Snowman
As we were flying through the air I began to lose my grip on the snowman 's hand. Soon I was rapidly approaching the ground and then.... SPLAT ! Mph mm was all that came out each time I tried to speak . I was kicking my legs and screaming with my head buried in the snow. After I finally opened my eyes I was flying through the air with the snowman again . Soon we found a tribe of Indian snowmen that stole my new friends arm and threw spears at us . The next time we met snowmen who were space age snowmen. They were much smarter not at all primitive and were very violent. They shot at us with highly advanced weapons . The snowman was hit and disintegrated . After an hour I was also hit and joined my friend in ....... aaaaaaahhhhhhh . Marc

Rotten week to sunny week
Sunday was sunny it was so hot.
But Monday was rotten cold not hot.
Tuesday was rainy still no sun.
Wednesday was snowy everything white.
Friday was stormy no more electric.
Saturday thunder but tomorow is Sunnyday.
I was right it was sunny all that week .
I got a tan and so would you .
No shoes on any feet only sandals.
OUCH I said walking along the floor.
I need the rain
NO WAIT NOT ANOTHER ROTTEN week.

The Best Days Of My Life
The first day I stepped into the school
I wandered if it was going to be cool
I got scared and looked around
The next thing I knew I was on the ground
I thought I was brilliant
I was moving up
It felt like I had just won a cup
I got a new teacher through the year
We all give her a very big cheer
I thought I was big
I was one of the oldest
Until someone hit me a dig
And I knew they were the boldest
I moved to the big playground
I was so scared
I wouldn't make a sound
So many people, can my friends be found?
I was nine and felt very fine
In P5 I felt so alive
Everyday I would say
I love this school hip-hip hooray!
Every year it was getting harder
So much work it was out of order
I thought P6 was ment to be fun
I usually had all my work done.
Thinking of the eleven plus
It was so much of a fuss
We started to have a lot of fun
When the test was done
I loved those Elmgrove years
To think they started with many fears
Now this is my very last
To sum up, I've had a blast!

The Snowman
The snowman grabbed my arm and started flying in the sky. We flew past a white field. The houses looked like a big ant and the people looked like small ants. Then we got to the cold North pole. There were lots of other snowmen and it was a snow mans birthday. and we played goodgames. And we played snow ball fights. Then we had some food. Me and the snow man started flying again. We crashed the snow man banged his head .And the wind was very blowy .He tryed to fly but we fell again We were right infront of my house. I said do you want to do it tomorrow . My mum saw me and she told me to go to bed the next day he melted. Next Christmas I built him again.

A Poem about School
Early in the morning having to get up for school,
Late sometimes when the teachers marking the roll,
Must do this, must do that, must do everything,
Get packed and now I'm off to school oh how boring,
R.E. with the teacher, Maths and P.E. too,
On and off we change and do a different subject,
Vice Principal Miss Brown telling us to be quiet,
Every day we have to go to school to learn to read and write.
Pupils in P7 are leaving ‘ oh how sad'
Raining all day no option you still have to come,
I don't want to leave because I am so used to it,
Mr Gray our teacher is one of the best teachers,
As soon as I leave I know I will want to come back,
Resting and relaxing I do that when I go home,
Young children will be starting Elmgrove in September, travelling the same road we did.
I know that I have really enjoyed being at Elmgrove it is so sad that I'm having to leave so good luck to the Teachers and all my friends.

Elmgrove is my primary school which I will always remember.
Lots of good memories at Elmgrove which I will never forget.
Mr Gray is my p7 teacher who I've liked a lot.
Good teachers who help us do our work
Raging teachers who shout at bad boys and girls.
Our work has improved through the years.
‘Very good' our teachers write on our books
Everybody from p7 is leaving Elmgrove and I'm gonna miss it and all my schoolmates.

The Elmgrove Rap
Elmgrove is really cool,
It's the best ever known primary school
When we are really good and sweet,
We always get a lovely treat.
We watch T.V. when we are good,
And sometimes we even get some food,
But when we are really bad,
We get no treats and that is sad.
The brilliant choir and orchestra,
Have all got the great stamina,
They help each other to get things right,
And practice every day and night.
When you join Elmgrove Primary school,
You meet new friends and that is cool,
You go on trips and residentials,
And in the shop you can get some pencils.
We have sports day and we have lots of fun,
As we play all day in the bright warm sun,
We have assembly and we sing a song,
The teachers even sing along.
But when you leave your Primary school,
To go to a school with a fancy pool,
You’ll never forget the lovely time,
You had when you were making this rhyme.

The Snowman
Then the first thing I knew I was flying through the thick icy air.His hand was terribly cold but it was fabulous. It was a beautiful sight. All the trees were covered in snow and the fields were too. The people were like little beetles and you could hardly see them. It was the most outrageous thing I had ever seen. The only thing that puzzled me was where we were going. I asked the snowman, and he told me that we were going back to my house. When we got back to the snowy ground I told him I had a wonderful time. Then suddenly the chimes started ringing and this colourful light flashed upon him and he stopped moving. So I went back to bed and waited till the next day. The next day the same thing happened. He woke up and he came into my house and we both had something to eat. Then suddenly my mother and father came down. So I quikly threw him into the coboard. My mother and father came in and said what's that mess on the floor (It was because of the snowman) so I just made it up and said I just spilled some water. When I got the snowman out of the coboard we went to the park. Flying threw the air the snowman bashed into a sighnpost and diappeared. That was the last I saw of my wonderful friend.

Is Rudolf and all the other reindeer all right because you couldn't come to my house without a reindeer?
I just got my Christmas tree up on Sunday and my dad has changed my bedroom around.My mummy said I wasn't allowed the doll Baby Born which does everything a baby does and I thought you could buy me one. My brother said he was going to make you an apple which says you're name on it. Please may I have a art kit because I like drawing and colouring and please may I have some make-up aswell. Do you like cream cake because it was mydaddy's birthday last Friday. I hope you will enjoy the cake and merry Christmas

How are you? I am fine. I hope Ginger Spice is talking to you because I'm missing her and I'm hoping she will come back. My name is Amy Wilson and you're my favourite Spice girl. I play a cornet and my family play other instruments and people call us the musical family. I've got all your CDs. My school is Elmgrove Primary School and my teacher is called Mrs Martin and she is the best teacher that has ever taught me. I hope you'll write back soon.

School Days
Seven years ago I started primary 1
Children playing games, learning and having lots of fun
How long will it be until I am P2
Oh goodness me I am in P3
Over the years we have had to learn hard work
Leaving Elmgrove now it will really hurt
Daily tests, stories and sums, we always do our best
A second chance I'll get, when doing Orangefield tests
Yes how I'm off to secondary school
So I hope it's just as cool
E.M.U. Activities :

We were at St Teresa's on Thursday 11th November, 1999. We met our penpal. My penpal was called Bronagh. In their school we played pass the ball and in the photo it shows Roy, ChritopherM, ChristopherH, Lyndsey L, Debbie-lee, Nichola and Amy.
This photograph is of the Glen Road that St. Teresa's school is on and outside their school there is a walk over bridge. When you are in their class you can see all the cars going past.

In this photo we were playing a game where you had to hit the other person with a roll of newspaper. When you hit the person you had to put the roll of newspaper in a red box before the other person hit you. It was brilliant.

This is everybody playing Chinese Whispers . You had to pass on what the person beside you said.
On our visit to St. Teresa's we played games and they gave us a tour of their school. They had a very big school and a very big playground. My partner is called Michelle. She has brown hair and she wears glasses.
St. Teresa's pupils designed their own Viking shields. You can see these in the photo.
We all did quizzes with Michelle and John. We had to write what our favourite food, pop groups were and did we have a pet. St. Teresa's pupils had to wear their uniforms but we could wear a track suit. We had our lunch there.
We played a game where we had to throw a ball to each other and another where we had to clap our hands then the next person beside you had to clap. We also played two other games and my favourite was the one where we had to hit someone with a newspaper then run round in a circle and sit back down in the person who hit you with the newspaper's place. We went home in a coach at three o'clock.
We were visting St.Teresa's on Thursday 11th November 1999 . We met our pen pal and we were finding out about each other by writing what food we liked. This photo is of Stacy , Lyndsey and me.

It was very interesting. After that we went to the archaeologists workshop .We had to go with our partner and two St.Johns boys.After that we had our lunch. We then went to a shop. After that we saw a mound. Then we went to a cinema we saw four sences called The Naming of Navan, How Cuhulain got his name ,Deirdre and Naiose and The Cattle Raid Of Cooley.My favourite part was the cinema.
Navan Fort
Last week we went to Navan Fort. The bus was a bit late but apart from that it was briliant. I sat on the bus with Cheryl my best friend. I shared my mints with her on the way. When we got there we went into the Navan center. First of all we had our break then we went into a small room and watched a sort of video. At the end of it a dragon breathed smoke out of it's nose holes. It was very spooky. Then we went into the archaeology place and we did'nt get to see the biggist dog in the world. After that we went to get our lunch I was the last one in my class to fininsh my lunch. Then we went to the shop and I bought a pencil , pen and a note book. After we went to see the mound because the bus was so late we could'nt climb the mound. Then we went to the bus and we got on it. Me and Cheryl sat beside each other on the way back.
