MicroBit Workshop
In June we were very lucky to have Herts SetPoint come in to work with us. This was exploring MicroBits after we have done some learning with them in our Computing lessons. We had to try and code the MicroBit to open up a safe and to display different messages.
Olivia and Jared’s Baptism
Year 5 Lisbon were very lucky as we were invited to St Bede’s Church to witness Olivia and her brother Jared’s baptism. We walked to the church with Year 3 Lisbon, had mass and watched the baptism ceremony. Father John explained each part of the Baptism ceremony to us and we were lucky enough to be given snacks after. Thank you to Olivia’s family for allowing us to be involved in this special day!
