On Friday, last week, the children thoroughly enjoyed our St Bartholomew’s day celebrations.As you know ,we attended 10 o’clock mass in St Bartholomew’s Church. It was a great privilege to celebrate this special  feast day with Fr Briody, who, in the past, enjoyed a number of years based at St Bartholomew’s. The celebrations continued in the afternoon, with treats delivered to classrooms alongside fun activities. What a fabulous day!

Our new intake of primary 1 pupils shared in the experience of our weekly Friday  assembly. Pupils of the week, Cool Class Cup and the winning house were all announced and details of these awards can be viewed on the  separate post below.

The week ahead looks like this:

Monday – Parent Council meeting will take place at 6pm. We will be appointing  a new Chairperson and Secretary in the near future. A huge thank you to Mr Denis Fallen, who has been Chair of the Parent Council for the past 6 years and as he is no longer a parent in the school, this post is open to both new and current members. In addition, a big thank you to Ms Deborah Morris, who has been Parent Council secretary for a number of years. As such, it is very important to see new faces at these meetings and I would encourage parents, who are both familiar with the school and those who are new to St Bart’s, to come along.  New members are encouraged to get in touch or simply pop along to the next meeting on Monday, 23rd September. All are welcome! It is a great way to get involved in the life of the school and contribute towards improvements for all of our pupils. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Tuesday – Accelerated Reading assessments will take place today.As you may recall, this literacy intervention has had a fantastic impact on our pupil Attainment in reading and we are committed to funding this for the foreseeable future. Thank you for supporting your child at home with on line quizzes related to their current AR  book. Accelerated Reading training will also take place today in order to develop and enhance staff knowledge and skills.Moreover, I will be attending a meeting at Kildonan Street in the morning in order to support to one of our families.

Wednesday – Accelerated reading assessments will continue today in order to provide the best possible targeted support for our pupils. I will be  attending an area Head Teacher’s  meeting and look forward to sharing new developments and initiatives from the authority. Vicky from Community Learning and Development, has booked our Get Together room today in order to support some of our families.

Thursday – Accelerated reading assessments will continue today in order to maintain significant impact for our pupils.

Friday –  Accelerated reading assessments will continue today. Mrs McLean, our acting Depute, will attend a Food for Thought conference in Glasgow today. This is a prerequisite for the funding that Mrs McLean obtained for our recent garden project, which in turn has developed many areas of health and wellbeing throughout the school. Finally, we look forward to our weekly assembly today and share in the success of some of our well deserving pupils,  as a school community. We will keep you posted.

Mrs Bolland
