Our second and final group of First Communicants received this very special sacrament, yesterday at St Bartholomew’s Church. The children looked fantastic, sounded wonderful and behaved impeccably. This was such an important day in the faith life of our boys and girls and one that will stay in their hearts for many years to come. Congratulations to all of our Primary 4 pupils who received the sacrament of the Eucharist.

On Thursday, last week, the first of four transition meetings took place for our new Primary 1 parents and children. It was wonderful to see some familiar and not so familiar faces, everyone was most welcome and we are happy to welcome them as part of the St Bartholomew’s family. Transition events will  follow during the next three Thursday ‘s and we look forward to seeing everyone then.

Our after school cookery club has been a huge success, with a representative from Tesco hosting the sessions. Mums, dads and grandparents worked with the children to produce a fabulous bowl of carrot soup. I was lucky enough to have a taste- absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to sampling this week’s delights! This after school club will be running for some time, so don’t worry if you didn’t get a place this time around. There will be plenty opportunities in the near future.
