We have been looking at current news items about a mission called &#8216;Mars One,&#8217; which plans to send 4 humans to Mars in the year 2023!<\/p>\n<p>We watched a video to find out why Mars is a place where humans might be able to live&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We took notes and added them to a group visualiser. Our note-taking skills are really improving&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We added our learning about Mars onto our PowerPoints in the ICT suite. We can add pictures, use animations, change fonts and add backgrounds to our slides&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many people have applied to go to Mars in 2023 even though they can never, ever come back to Earth! We had a class discussion about this. We talked about what you would have to leave behind, why humans want to go to Mars and whether or not we agreed with the mission:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Ami said that Earth is our planet and that we should leave Mars alone because it doesn&#8217;t belong to us.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Jake said that we have caused lots of destruction on Earth and we will only do the same to Mars<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Carlo said we need to explore Mars because Earth might one day be destroyed by war or disease<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Ellie said Earth might run out of space for people so we need to explore other planets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wow! Mrs McLean never even thought of that!<\/p>\n<p>We decided to take a class survey about what item we would take with us if we were to go on a one-way trip to Mars. The options were: family; friends; a TV; a PS4 or a lifetime&#8217;s supply of sweets.<\/p>\n<p>We worked as a class to create a human bar graph with scale that showed the results of our survey&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/stbartholomewsclasses\/files\/2015\/11\/DSCN2921.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1346\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/stbartholomewsclasses\/files\/2015\/11\/DSCN2921-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN2921\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sorry family and friends but the most popular option was&#8230; sweets!<\/p>\n<p>We learned that a bar graph needs a title, a horizontal axis, a vertical axis, labels and a scale. We worked in groups to create our own version of a human bar graph&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as St. Andrew&#8217;s day is fast approaching, we have been learning all about his story this week. We dramatised his story using role play&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>We learned about his death on an X shaped cross and we know that we are reminded of St. Andrew every time we see a Scottish Saltire. Here are some Saltires that we made for our St. Andrew&#8217;s Day bunting&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now. Mrs McLean is excited because tomorrow we begin delivering our homework projects on an aspect of the Solar System. Watch out for pics of our amazing work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we have been learning all about the planet Mars.
