I trust that everyone has enjoyed a few days off during the September weekend  and feeling well rested, ready for the busy week ahead.Welcome back!

The young ladies in the photographs were struggling to hold all of their wonderful trophies. The trophies are recognition for their fabulous successes in dance competitions. We all thoroughly enjoy sharing in our friends successes and appreciate the hard work and commitment that these girls have demonstrated to achieve this personal achievement. Well done girls!

On Tuesday, Sleep Scotland are hosting a workshop in the school on behalf of our youngest boys and girls. Mums and dads of nursery age children are welcome to join in and hear some valuable advice on encouraging children in to creating good sleep patterns. Good quality sleep is so important to wellbeing and if parents in the school would like an input from this organisation then please let me know.

On Thursday,  John Wilson photography will be visiting St Bartholomew’s to take whole school and nursery photographs. Teeth may need an extra brush that morning so that our boys and girls shine in their photograph!

Also on Thursday, Mrs Carlin and and P1 boys and girls will be hosting a beautiful prayer service in school at 2pm. I am sure that parents and carers will be thoroughly looking forward to this very special occasion . Please ensure that you have replied to your child’s invitation so that we know how many people to cater for.

On Friday we have very special guests in school who will be contributing towards our health and wellbeing agenda. Mrs McLean has organised for representatives from a collaborative project between  staff from Jamie Oliver’s restaurant, ‘Jamie’s’ and Lidl. Our Primary 5 and Primary 6 pupils will be learning about healthy breakfasts and will have the opportunity to test their culinary skills. I will certainly pay the  Get Together Room a visit that day!
