St Bartholomew's Class Blog

We have been working hard in our computer room to learn how to word process. Here you can see what skills we have been developing…

We know how to make a capital letter, how to do a full stop, how to change the font, colour and size of our writing. Aren’t we clever!

Also, as part of our IDL topic on materials, we know that everything is made of atoms. We explored the art technique of pointillism and created these crosses for our Way of the Cross wall during lent. Each cross is made of tiny dots, reminding us that everything is made of atoms.

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.

At the start of Lent we all wrote our Lenten promises and displayed them.

We are now well on our way through our Lenten journey and are beginning to think about how we can help others. This is more important than ever in his year of mercy. We are raising money for SCIAF. This week we are hoping to have a bingo afternoon with prizes. Children can buy a card for £2 which will allow them to play several games of bingo. They may win a prize!

Learning where the SCIAF money goes.
