Primary 2 and 3 were back at Drumpellier Park yesterday to make a start on a very exciting art project. The children investigated the various plant life around the park then collected samples of leaves and grasses. These will be used to create an art display which the children will eventually produce in aluminium. This final piece of art will then be put on permanent display in the Drumpellier Park Visitors Centre as well as around the loch. I’m absolutely delighted that St Bartholomew’s pupils have been given this wonderful opportunity to create something that will be enjoyed by visitors to Drumpellier Park for many, many years to come.

Primary 2 & 3 will visit the park for a second time next week. The co-ordinator of the project will then come to St Bartholomew’s after the holidays to continue working with the children. Keep an eye on the P2 and P3 class pages to follow the progress of this exciting project! These can be accessed by clicking on the ‘Learning’ pencil at the bottom of the school website homepage.

As from today, parents, carers and visitors to St Bartholomew’s will have access to a computer which has been located in the main entrance area. This will allow parents and carers who do not have the internet at home to access and explore our school website. St Bartholomew’s website is a vital part of the school’s day-to-day communication with parents, carers, friends and the outside world in general, and we want to ensure that everyone has easy access to the website on a regular basis. A text will be sent out today to inform all parents and carers of this new service.
