Christmas Party

Today we were given our letters for our Christmas party. We do need the help of our mums and dads in providing nice food for us to eat at the party. If you could please send in the item on our letters that would be a great help.

Our party will take place next Wednesday 17th December. We can come into school in our own clothes, but we must remember that we also need to eat a dinner. So if we have sandwiches we will need to bring them into school as well.

Our Lost Sheep

Way back in November we watched a cartoon version of the story of the lost sheep. (See November posts). We had a go at creating our own story using the digital blue cameras. Mr Barton in his wisdom accidentally deleted it!! In the afternoon we had another go at creating a piece of animation. 500 pictures and 30 seconds later the results are here. Can you find your own title page?

Simple science

A wonderful site with video for each of the units that we will study this year.
It is great for revision and to get a head start on what we are going to study in class.

We now have 28 pupils registered upon tutpup.
A great competitive site which puts children against others from all over the world.
Please try to remember your colour, animal and number and then you can play at home as well!

We are being followed!

If you look to the left of the screen you will notice that we are being followed by St Edward's Catholic primary school in Selly Park.
Our year 3 and year 6 classes will be sharing their preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation. This is a new and exciting development as we not only have faith friends within our own school but we now have faith friends in another part of Birmingham.

It will be interesting to see how this project develops over the coming months.

Gabriel and Mary

Today we looked at the film of Mary with Gabriel. The was very little speech so we had to imagine what Gabriel said to Mary. We collected our ideas and shared them with our talk partners. We were able to feedback to the class what we thought.
We then compared our thoughts and ideas with an account from the Bible.

We were able to then produce a playscript of what we thought Gabriel said to Mary and what Mary said back.
