The house captains spoke to the children at assembly about leaving a note for your house captains.
They have made boxes for children to share their ideas or something they would like by leaving a note in their house box.
The captains will collect them and will report back to the children at assembly.

Mary’s Meals

Mr Robert Carty joined us at assembly to talk to us about Mary’s Meals.

He told us all about their work and gave us some fact:

Mary’s Meals feed over 2 and a half million children every day in 17 countries across the world. £20 feeds a child for a year.

He took part in a question and answer session too.

We will be raising money through lent to support the work of Mary’s Meals.

P6 enjoyed presenting new skills and knowledge through their assembly last Wednesday. They were amazing! Well done boys and girls.

Excitement continues with our whole school initiative with the RSPB through tremendous engagement from our pupils. The children are now experts at bird spotting, and we have created a lovely indoor/ outdoor area dedicated to learning about birds. The fabulous wall display pictured above is from Primary 1/2. Well done boys and girls!

We are currently ordering a wide variety of outdoor learning materials and resources to enhance learning for all of our pupils. We are so lucky to have such a large outdoor area.

Could I ask that parents and carers keep an eye on our outdoor space after school finishes, at weekends and holidays etc. We have had unwanted visitors damaging some outdoor resources. Please help us look after our school. Thank you in advance.

Week beginning 2nd February 2026

Our children have enjoyed several exciting activities, especially outdoor learning and play based tasks, in addition to a wide variety of sporting and musical activities. What a busy place!

We welcome some new starts to St Bart’s. It’s always great to see new faces around the school and they have already settled well and are enjoying their new school.

A whole school initiative with the RSPB has created such excitement and engagement from our pupils. The children are now experts at bird spotting, and we have created a lovely indoor/ outdoor area dedicated to learning about birds. However, there has been a little bit of a   sad news… our bird feeders have been vandalised by children in our community. Mrs Bolland has spoken with leaders within the community to ask that they refrain from doing this as our children have loved establishing nice habits from a wide variety of birds.
