St Bartholomew's Class Blog

Last week Pablo went home with Marysa and spent his weekend at the caravan! Marysa wrote all about it in his diary and shared it with everyone when she came back to school! You can see from these photos that in primary 1 and in primary 2 we have been writing sentences. Some of us are just learning the skills of composing and writing a sentence whereas in primary 2 we are more confident and are beginning to stretch our sentences to make them more interesting.

In our maths in primary 2 we are continuing to explore tens and units and this week looked at splitting amounts of money into tens and units.

In primary 1 maths, we are looking at jumping along a numbered track. We have used a lot of different resources to learn and practice our skills.

When we were in the computer room this week we were exploring autumn  using some interesting videos and activities on the Espresso web site.

Finally, we are very proud of these two wonderful girls from Primary 1/2 who have won medals at their own dancing competitions.

To end the week, Pablo had another exciting visit  – read all about his adventures…

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming some very important people into P4. We were joined by Mr Johnstone and Ms Robertson from the Scottish Government and Mr Craig and Ms Fisher from North Lanarkshire Council. Here is some of the maths learning that we shared with them…

Here are some other maths stations we’ve been working on recently to consolidate our learning…

We’ve done so well and now it’s time to move on to our next maths concept – multiplication! Great work P4!

In primary 1 we are so enthusiastic about out learning and this week has been no different! Our primary 7 buddies came to visit us and we shared the wonderful stories we have written with them. They helped us set targets for this term to make our writing even better!

During R.E we have been learning about God’s beautiful creation. We decided to go on an Autumn walk and take pictures of some things God created including trees, the sky and some plants. We even collected some crunchy leaves that had fallen from the trees to make some hedgehogs and squirrels because we have learned that God made animals too.

Keep checking our blog to see our finished hedgehogs and squirrels!

To top off our busy and exciting week two of the girls brought in items for show and tell and we had a song from one of the boys!

My cat costume for Halloween!

Beautiful rosary beads from my gran.

A song complete with actions!

Keep up the hard work boys and girls!!

We have started our new term with lots of enthusiasm in P4 and we have worked hard this week.

In R.E, we learned all about Our Lady and we know that we should show devotion to Mary, especially during the month of October. We did this by saying the Rosary together in class and reflecting on her life. Next, we learned about the fascinating story of Mary and the Miraculous Medal. We have started to create our own Miraculous Medals to show our devotion to Mary. Watch our Blog for pictures!

We also learned how to write interesting story openings this week. Here we are sharing our exciting openings with our partners…

And of course, a new term means a new topic! Ours is ‘Space!’ We really impressed Mrs McLean with the facts we already knew about Space but there’s so much more that we want to find out.

First up this week, we learned about night and day and why it happens. It’s all to do with the Sun and the Earth! The Sun is really a giant star and it’s very, very hot! We discussed ‘hot colours’ and what the Sun might look like if it was possible to get up close to it (it’s not so don’t try it at home!). We made our own red hot Suns using paint and cling film. Messy but great fun.
