St Bartholomews

Again, it was another very week in St Barts. Our pupils especially loved assembly on Wednesday when we announced winners, runners up and participants of our bird competition. Photographs are on the blog. Children were delighted with their prizes and certificates and produced such creative pieces – photographs are above.. As always, thank you so much for your support. We were also delighted to see parents and carers in school for World Book Day, sharing in children’s learning. Thank you.

Please try to celebrate mass during Lent and keep up to date with the times of mass at St Bartholomew’s Church. Our school consistently raise money for charities during this period and we appreciate your support, as always. Thank you in advance. The week ahead looks like this:

To celebrate World Book Day our parents and carers joined us for family stay and read sessions in the school and nursery.
Thank you to all those who joined us today.
The children have all been given their £1 token to support the buying a book.
Happy reading!

All children were given a design challenge. They were asked to make a model of a bird as part of the whole school work on birds and as a homework challenge.

Well done to all those who took part. Your models are amazing.

Each class had a winner and two runners up. They received a certificate a sweet treat and the winner was given a book all about birds.

Well done to our fabulous pupils of the week.

Primary 1/2 have had fun this week at the lunchtime fun games club. Our primary 7 junior sports leaders supported by active school worked with the children on fun games. The children had lots of fun and were very active. The club will run every Tuesday for 5 weeks and primary 1/2 children can join in each week.

Again, it was another very week in St Barts, last week. We had a lovely visit from Ms McGhee, St Stephen’s Depute Head Teacher, along with a cohort of P5 & P6 pupils who are part of the Young Leaders of Learning group. They were so impressed with our wonderful school and especially loved our Nature Area and display of birds. Children have been working hard on making model birds as part of a home school partnership. Mr Gray, one of our parents, brought in some budgies for children to see and hear. What a great experience!

Please try to celebrate mass during Lent and keep up to date with the times of mass at St Bartholomew’s Church. Daily mass is celebrated at 9.45am. Our school consistently raise money for charities during this period and we appreciate your support, as always. Thank you in advance. The week ahead looks like this:

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.

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.
