St Bartholomew's Class Blog

We have had a busy start to Primary 3! So far we have got stuck into our numeracy and literacy work and have started to explore our topic. Our topic this term is ‘Scottish Wildlife’ and we have enjoyed researching information to share with our peers. We found so many interesting videos, pictures and facts so far. During our Art lesson today we created animals from different habitats around the world. We are looking forward to finding out more fun facts about these animals and comparing their habitats.

Last week we were learning all about Vincent Van Gogh and looked closely at his Starry Night painting. We talked about the techniques he used to paint and we even created our own Starry Night! We are so pleased with our paintings and cannot wait to display these for the whole school to see!

P4 have had another busy week!

In maths we have been comparing numbers using > < and =. We enjoyed playing a crocodile comparing game on the smartboard where we could all help one another.

We are also learning about 2D shapes and during ICT time we were applying different skills of inserting, creating and formatting different shapes on PowerPoint to make our own 2D shape monsters- it was very fun!

We completed our all about me silhouettes and they are now on display outside out class. We think they look fabulous!

Finally we enjoyed spending time in the library for accelerated reading.

Primary 5 have had a busy few weeks since the summer holidays! We have been getting used to our new timetable and have lots of new and exciting things happening in our class this year. On Thursday we had our first Kodaly session where we learned some songs and rhymes that we loved singing together as a class, it was great fun. In P.E. we have started a block of tennis and we will be learning lots of new skills over the next few weeks so look out for some of our pictures! In taught writing we are working on narrative stories and this week we wrote about a time when we had been naughty, I bet our parents would love to read them!

Another successful and busy week in our class. We had Paired reading with our Buddies 5is week where we were able to practice reading our class reading book and also we were able to share a story for enjoyment with our friends and Buddies.

Our artistic skills have also been developed this week when we created our own painted paper to use in a new project next week….watch this space for updates!

Also this week, our parents and carers came to read to us on Friday morning at Stan and Read. This is a great chance to get together and enjoy some stories from the class library.

In our maths we have been learning about and creating patterns. Everyone created a repeated pattern on their paper T-shirt, then everyone created a repeated pattern using colourful shapes. 

This wall display, shows what we have been learning in RE. Look at all of the special little faces in our class…everyone is special, God knows everyone, and we treat each other with care.

This week in Primary 1, we started Stay and Read. After the bell rings at 9.00, parents and carers are invited to Stay and Read with the children. Not only is this a great way to enjoy stories, it is also an ideal opportunity to get to know one another.

A positive way to start the day reading with mum and dad.

Sharing a book with mum in the school library.

Stay and Read is a brilliant way to get to know our new parents and carers.

Stay and Read with our friends and family

Look our each week, for our news on the class blog.
