  At assembly we listened to Miss McCrorie as she told us all about 100 years of Catholic Education. We were shocked to learn that children had to pay to go to school to learn about their faith. We are glad the laws changed so that we can go to school and learn about our faith for free.  She also reminded us that we can speak to Jesus, our teacher, through reading stories in the Bible.

This week, we completed our writing about our first day on the Titanic. Our next step is to type these up on the computer during ICT.  Please make sure you read these in our writing jotters when you visit at parents’ evening.

In science, we learned about solids, liquids and gases. The atoms in solids are all packed together, the atoms in liquids are close together but like to move around and the atoms in gases like to move around freely.  Look at our examples for each…

Solids – rocks, wall, table, glass

Liquids – water, milk, orange juice

Gases –helium, oxygen

Before we were snowed in, Mr Fogg came into our classroom to read us a story for World Book Week. He read The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark and brought in his owl Dusk. We were very excited to hear the story and to meet Dusk.  Mr Fogg explained that Dusk was a barn owl and told us some fun facts.  We hope Dusk visits again!
