St Bartholomew's Class Blog

We were all delighted to be enrolled as Mini Vinnies, the youngest members of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. We will work together to help people in our local, national and international communities. Our first project is to gather food donations for the local Foodbank and this is going very well so far!
We were learning all about the Canticle of the Sun, St Francis of Assisi’s prayer and we focused on the importance of the wind in our environment. As part of this, we made windmills to play with outside.
Everyone enjoyed learning how to print using tiles and ink. After learning how to do this, we printed owl pictures and then Halloween haunted houses.

Primary  7 have had absolutely brilliant time working with CLD over the past 5 weeks. The children have played so many fabulous and fun games! While also completing team challenges.  The new skills learned have been incredible. When asked, the children told us that this is what they have  learned…

Let’s not forget FUN!

We look forward to the children receiving their much deserved award for their participation in the thrive five programme.
Thank you CLD!

As part of our outdoor learning, primary 7 took on a tent building challenge with the CLD team. We had to work in teams to solve challenges and figure out how to securely build a tent! We were delighted with our completed tents and celebrated with some s’mores! Yum! Thank you CLD!

We learned all about the safe use of the campfire. We took part in risk assessments and learned how to responsibly use the campfire to make delicious s’mores! Pr 7 were excellent at following all the safety guidelines but were also fabulous at trying something new! What a great day in St Bart’s!

Very proud of our children who took part in the most recent football festival! Didn’t they look great in their new strips?  The children had fabulous attitudes all day and had an absolutely brilliant time. They represented our school so well. Well done boys and girls! 👏👏👏👏

Today we had a lovely afternoon listening to some musical talent from our wonderful pr7 children! These children have been practising at home and couldn’t wait to share what they have been learning. We will hear more from different musicians in pr7 on Friday! I cannot wait. Well done boys and girls! 🤩

Primary 6 and 7 were delighted today at a very special delivery!

We received brand new football strips which can be used in all sporting events. The strips have been specially designed by David our coach and Joshua Cappie, the sponsor of our strips. Both men have worked hard for these amazing strips. They have the school colours black and red and of course the fabulous school badge.
Joshua is a former pupil here at St Bartholomew’s and remembers fondly his time  at our school. Joshua has went on to run his own family business with his dad and we are mega proud of him.
We appreciate Joshua paying for our new strips and also to David who got the printing done.We can see a lot  of money has been spent on these as they are fabulous quality.

Thank you Joshua and of course David!
We will try to score a goal for you! ❤️🖤

Here are our gorgeous Koalas in our big tree!
We had so much fun doing these.

The children are so proud of their excellent art work!

We are mega excited because not only did we win Cool Class Cup today, for the second week in a row, we also won the Attendance award! A treat will be awarded to all children tomorrow as we gather together and make S’mores.
