We’re busy bees in Primary 5/6 and we have lots of exciting things to share.

 

We’ve started some new novel studies this week and we can’t wait to share our thoughts with you. The Superstars are reading ‘Horrid Henry’, they are desperate to know what mischief he’ll get up to next and are really pleased because they love to watch ‘Horrid Henry’ on the television.

Our Clever clogs have started reading ‘The Butterfly Lion’ by Michael Morpurgo and have been making fantastic predictions about what they think will happen in the story.

Finally the Whizz kids are reading a brand new book, ‘Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things)’ and they are loving it more with every page they read.

We’re very happy with our new books and wanted to share them with you!

This week we’ve also been looking at astronauts as part of our space topic. Working in pairs, we used our iPads to research some questions we had about how astronauts live in space, we found some really interesting facts about showering, eating, sleeping and even going to the bathroom in space!

We wrote a short monologue from the point of view of an astronaut after their first day in space and some of use managed to record these as a video blog. We tried some astronaut ice cream, most of us thought it was very tasty! Andrew said that it was great because it tasted just like warm ice cream but Carlos wasn’t sure about the texture.
