There isn’t a GLOW task for you to do this  week as you will all be giving up part of your Saturday for choir competitions at the Music Festival. However, remember that your blog is yours and you can write about anything you wish. You don’t need to just do the tasks that I set!
Your homework this week is a measure challenge using the BBC Bitesize website. You need to play the measure challenge, read about measure and take the measure quiz. After you have had a go at all of the measure activities, in your blog write something about measure to explain what you have learned. This could be a bullet point list or a paragraph. You should write between 100 to 500 words.
Good luck! I’m looking forward to what you discover about measure. 🙂
The link is in the sidebar in the homework section.
Miss Devine would like to know what you would like to do during the 3 days you will spend at the High School in June. She wants you to make the very best use of your time there so that you are ready to start your secondary education for real in August.
Please leave me a comment and I’ll pass all of your suggestions onto Miss Devine. Primary 6 can give their ideas too.
Most people really love chocolate but have you any idea of the process that happens before you can pop that lovely square of chocolate into your mouth?
This week’s homework task is all about chocolate! I’ve added a link on the sidebar under the HOMEWORK heading for a great little interactive website that will explain the whole process of chocolate making.
In your own blog, I would like you to make a list of all of the main points of this process. You could also add a chocolate picture of your own choice!
Good luck! Send me a comment if you need any help. 🙂
Sound can make a big difference to an animation. To put sound with this animation, I had to export it into imovie. Once there, lots of sounds and special effects can be added. Next a commentary or script can be added.
We’ll try this in class next week!

Did you know that there are other children in schools in Scotland that use GLOW blogs to record all of the interesting experiences that they have at school? I have been speaking to the Head Teacher at Burravoe P.S. which is on the island of Yell. This is one of the island in the group we call the Shetland Islands. Check out where this is on the map. It really is very far away!
You will find the link to their blog on the side bar to the right. You will discover that this is a very interesting school. Why not leave some comments on their blog. (Remember that you must always be polite because you are representing your school.) The children and their head teacher have already been reading your blogs and if you look, you might discover a comment!
I hope you enjoy this link. It’s fun learning about new people in new places.

Homework this week is for you to write an adventure story based around your trip on Monday. You make the story up. It does not need to be true. Hopefully something you heard about, saw or learned will have created a sprark in your imgination and you will be able to write about the setting, have interesting characters and an exciting plot!
In an adventure story you must follow these steps:
1. It’s a normal day for your characters – this opening paragraph gives you a chance to let the reader know about the characters, where and when they live.
2. Something unusual and unexpected happens and your characters have to react and come up with a plan to save the day!
3. Your characters then put the plan into action and the adventure begins. (They will probably have to deal with baddies!!)
4. The adventure comes to a conclusion and you have to decide whether or not to have a happy ending!
Good luck!!
PS – Read your comments – some of you will have messages from a school in Shetland that I’ve made a link with so the kids there will be looking forward to reading your stories too!
The use of technology in schools is moving ahead rapidly. Since the beginning of January 2010 the children in P.6/7 have been blogging and there interest, motivation and excitement for the project has been wonderful. You may have heard a bit about primary blogging on the news the other day. Kilmartin is not alone in getting the children active by blogging – or using a real context with a real audience for writing!
One of the leading schools in the forefront of primary blogging is Heathfield P.S. If you would like to find out what they have been up to, please click on the link on the right. Â Here’s the beginning of Mr. Mitchell’s report, describing the day the T.V. cameras arrived at his school!
To think that just over 14 months ago, Heathfield didn’t have any blogs is virtually unbelievable. Those of you reading this will no doubt know the story so far so I won’t bore you with the details,
however, the developments over the last few days have been monumental!
Not long ago, Heathfield Primary became an affiliated SSAT Primary school – Something EVERY school should consider doing! The SSAT are an organisation that have expertise oozing through their veins. Through this affiliation, Heathfield were able to support and guide Heathfield into a position to showcase blogging and the fantastic impact it is having on our school community.
On Friday 11th February, Heathfield were featured in an article in the Independent. At about 12:10pm the phone started ringing…
BBC Breakfast News were the first to contact us, followed by Channel 4 News at 12:40pm and then BBC Radio 4 at 12:45pm. The chain of events that followed were exciting and also slightly comical!
