From the above photographs,it is very evident that  both of these girls are very proud of their achievements. One of the young ladies has achieved personal success, outwith school, something that we are always happy to share. The other young lady has come a long way in progressing her writing skills. What fabulous achievements. Keep it up!

The week ahead contains the following key events:

Today, Primary 2/3 will be visiting Almond Valley as part of their topic related studies. This is a fabulous trip and the children are very much looking forward to joining in with all the fun and excitement that this venue provides. A big thank you to our parent helpers for dedicating their time and efforts to help supervising the children. We couldn’t do it without you!

On Tuesday, we welcome Ms Kirkland and Ms Reid to our school, who will be visiting on school related business. Mrs Carlin will be visiting some of our prospective primary 1 pupils at their current nursery as part of our transition programme and also to provide a warm welcome to St Bart’s.

On Wednesday, Mrs MacIntyre will be leading training for a new reading for enjoyment programme that we are introducing next session. There are a number of exciting initiatives that the leadership team are preparing for implementation next session. Watch this space…

On Friday, our pre school children in the nursery are graduating. This is such an important milestone for these boys and girls and we are  very proud at St Bartholomew’s and wish them all well in their school careers. Well done! Mr McLaughlin, our head of service will be visiting St Bartholomew’s and I know that he will be incredibly impressed with our wonderful pupils. You are most welcome.
