As you know, it was maths week last week and the children enjoyed a fantastic variety of engaging activities. Pupils especially enjoyed the opportunity to take part in problem solving activities and games. Mrs McLean organised a private company to deliver this and you are more than welcome to view  all of the fun on twitter. Our boys and girls were thoroughly engaged with the Sumdog contest that ran last week and I look forward to the results.Thank you to everyone for all of your efforts.

I am looking forward to joining our Primary 1 pupils and Mrs Carlin on  Monday morning, where I will share in some of the wonderful learning that is a daily experience for our youngest pupils. Many of our staff in St Bartholomew’s have been so impressed with the fantastic progress that these boys and girls have made. In a matter of weeks, children are now able to be responsible for their learning and make valuable contributions in their classroom. What a result!

On Tuesday, the Parent Council are hosting an informal event at 6pm in the music room. The main objective is to share some of the work that the Parent Council do with as many of our parents as possible and to encourage more mums and dads to get involved in the life of the school. The Parent Council meet once a month on a Tuesday evening for an hour or so to discuss school improvements.We look forward to welcoming you then.

On Thursday, I am looking forward to joining our Primary 4 pupils and Mr Morgan  for a learning visit. I am very much looking forward to sharing in the children’s learning experiences. So many of these fabulous boys and girls look so grown up and are behaving responsibly.

Please remember that school is closed on Friday and Monday due to the September weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 25th September.
