Mrs Timmons, Principal Teacher of Maths will be visiting St Bartholomew’s today. There will be some wonderful maths problem solving activities for the children to work on collaboratively and have fun at the same time! This is part of our transition programme to St Ambrose High School, which will be of huge benefit to our boys and girls.

I am attending a cluster meeting at St Ambrose High this evening where we will discuss the upcoming mass at Falkirk Stadium, in addition to other current matters in respect of Primary 7’s transition to High School.

Just a reminder that Football after school club will be on this afternoon. Children are required to bring appropriate kits and water bottles.

Gordon Meek photography will be visiting  St Bart’s tomorrow morning, between 9am and 10am so that parents of our First Communicants can choose photographs from their very special day. I am sure that everyone will be spoiled for choice!

Wednedsay also sees the Primary 7 Gaelic Football boys final, held at St Ambrose High. The boys have done very well to achieve this status and we wish them the very best of luck!

Our third induction day will take place for our new cohort of Primary 1 children on Thursday. This will allow the children to work in their new class and take part in a number of activities, particularly related to literacy and numeracy. The final induction day will be next week where the children and their parents will enjoy lunch and a tour of the school with their buddy.

Thursday sees two after school clubs on. The Tesco cookery after school club for both parent and child will be taking place in our Get Together Room. Mrs Carlin’s art after school club will be taking place for our younger children, in the Primary 1 classroom.

There is always something exciting going on at St Bart’s!
