Again, the photographs above illustrate some very talented pupils in St Bartholomew’s who have been rewarded for their success in dance.Well done girls!
A huge thank you to our parent volunteers who have donated their time and efforts in order to prepare for our Christmas Fayre on Saturday. There are lots of exciting things to look forward to-; Santa’s grotto, glitter tattoos, hair bows, chocolate fountain, children’s Christmas crafts, cup cakes, class hampers, tombola, raffles, toys /bric a brac and much more. Please look in school bags for a letter detailing some wonderful opportunities for our boys and girls to win fabulous elf and unicorn soft toys. We would also be very grateful for Christmas plates to be returned so that they can be judged in time for the Fayre and prizes awarded for best entries. Thank you in advance.
On Monday, Mrs Kinniburgh will be visiting the school in order to support some pupils with an input from Educational Psychology. As always, visitors to our school are always welcome. Our staff will be meeting after school today to work collegiately to make improvements to key areas such as Stem, literacy and numeracy.
On Tuesday,Mrs Newton from Community Learning and Development will be working with some of our parents, alongside our first aid partners. This is a wonderful opportunity for our parents to achieve formal qualifications. Thank you Mrs Newton. Our parent council will also meet today at 6 O’Clock in the staffroom. As always, all are welcome and an open invitation is extended to all of our parents, from Primary 1 to Primary 7. We look forward to seeing you then.
On Thursday, we welcome Ms McLeary from Strathclyde University who is undertaking a tutor visit for Ms Clark. I am confident that she will be impressed with all of the fabulous work that goes on in Primary 1. Our Primary 6 children will receive an input from Celtic coaches. The boys and girls particularly enjoy the dual aspect of this, where they take part in both physical activities alongside classroom tasks.
On Friday, we will be very busy with preparations for the Christmas Fayre and transforming our school into a ‘Christmas like’ environment. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Mrs Bolland
