St Bartholomew’s is always very keen to learn from other schools, as well as share our own ideas and good practice with others. Mrs McLean and I are heading to St Thomas’s Primary in Wishaw this morning to find out how their staff are supporting the children’s learning. We’ve heard lots of good things about St Thomas’s and are very much looking forward to our visit. We’re confident we’ll pick up some new ideas to bring back to St Bart’s.

If you haven’t been on Twitter for a while, it’s well worth a visit. Six of our eight classes have already had the chance to spend time in our new STEM Zone, and there are lots of fantastic photographs on Twitter showing some of the children’s amazing technological creations. It’s the turn of Primary 6/7 this week and I’m sure the children will enjoy the experience as much as Primary 1 – 5 have over the past few weeks.
