St Bartholomew's Class Blog

What a fantastic term we have had! Primary 5 have worked so incredibly hard and will now enjoy a very well deserved break!

I think that P5 has to be the most creative class in the school! As part of our novel study the BFG, we enjoyed using tissue paper to design and create some amazing dream trees! They turned out fantastic and are super effective! Well done boys and girls!

We also enjoyed making some amazing dream catchers which we then used to plan and write some detailed instructions on how to make them as part of our taught writing. They are now hanging around  our beautiful altar. We are definitely budding artists in this class!

Finally, we also had the chance to present our solo talks to the class. Primary 5 prepared some very interesting and detailed presentations all focussed on places of interest within the United Kingdom which was our topic this term. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the children and it was clear that a lot of hard work went into them. A massive well done to all of the boys and girls who prepared and delivered an amazing solo talk, I was very proud of you all!

Another well done also goes to our pupil of the week!

A massive well done to you all, P5. You have worked so hard this term! I hope you all have a fantastic, peaceful break. Make sure you spend some quality time with family and friends, and return to school well rested and ready to learn!

Look at our lovely Autumn display! We explored God’s wonderful world in autumn and created some autumn trees using different media. Everyone chose what they would like to use and then went about creating! We had to be like Kuba the Caterpillar and really concentrate.  All of the colours are autumn colours.

In our Growth Mindset activities we have been learning that sometimes it is better to work in a team, especially if the task is too tricky for one person. We put this to the test when we made our autumn umbrellas and worked in small teams.

In maths we have been learning about flat shapes and solid shapes. We used some flat shapes to make a shape picture, we learned some new, tricky shapes called pentagon and hexagon.

Can you see what we have made and what shapes we have used?

Look at this imaginative shape picture! Carly Anne used her imagination really well to create this.

Also in maths, we explored symmetry and then we created symmetrical butterflies with autumn colours.

Look at the fun we had at the obstacle course on Thursday! We went under tents, over benches, through tunnels and had magnificent fun!

In literacy we have been trying really hard to make word all by ourselves and with Have a Go Hamal the hedgehog, we are becoming more confident.

In gymnastics lessons this week, we have been learning to add a roll to our sequence. This roll you can see is the Teddy Bear roll and it was quite tricky!

Watch this space for more interesting news next time. Have a great holiday and we will catch up in the new term 2!!!

We have had another’s great week this week and can’t believe it’s almost the end of term 1.

Here we are enjoying Stay and Read on Friday with our parents and carers.

This morning, we were thinking about the kind situation of jobs we would like to do when we grow up. We wrote about them.

This is our wall display for our work on “Our Community “. We learned lots and enjoyed showing off our work at our assembly.

You can see some of the 3D houses we made as a homework challenge. It was good to work with our parents and brothers and sisters at home who helped us create these wonderful designs.

In gymnastics, we are learning about balancing and added some balances into our jump sequences this week.

The book fair visited our school this week and we all enjoyed looking at the nice books.

In primary 1 we are learning some gymnastic skills. Jumps, balances and patterns have been the main skills that we have been practicing.

In maths we have been learning how to create a pattern, it was tricky at first but we have been practicing and developin* these skills every week, now we are quite good at making patterns with two or three different colours or shapes.

This was an exciting week for us as it was our assembly. We invited our families to come and watch and then we all visited our classroom to share some sweet treats, fruit and water. It was a great day.

In art, we have been very creative with these October cats. We used crayons and made the patterns then painted over with 5in black paint, they’re not quite finished yet… so watch this space.

Primary 3 have been working hard over the past few weeks!

Rounding numbers

Numbers to 100

Rapunzel Towers

We have had a fantastic week. In maths we are learning how to copy and create patterns with two or three colours, shapes or objects. It’s quite tricky but we are going to keep practicing.

Everyone is enjoying learning to read and write and each day we are trying out new tasks and activities to help develop our literacy skills.

Our topic, Our Community, has been very interesting and we have been creating our own 3D street and 2D street which you will be able to see when you come up next week for our class assembly.

We are still waiting for some pupils to hand in their photo permission slips, so when they do, we can get some photos on the blog also.

Hopefully we will see as many of you as possible on Thursday 27th September at 2pm in the main hall for our class assembly. Afterwards you will be invite to our classroom for some refreshments.

We are all very happy in our Primary 1 classroom! Our teacher says we are the best class in the whole school and she loves every one of us very much! We are not surprised as we work so hard and behave so well for her every single day!

Here we are….. don’t you think we look terrific? We drew these portraits with pastel on the first week of school when we were doing our RE lessons on how special we are.

When we have permission for everyone to have their photo taken and posted on the blog, then you will see our real pictures.

In Primary 1, we have been learning to read and write and have been learning to listen very carefully and join in with all of the new learning. At maths time, we are learning about numbers and patterns, so we will post some of our work for you soon.

We hope you will log in regularly to read about our learning in Primary 1…… make the most of it as it will be a fast year and we will grow up so quickly now that we are at school.
