St Bartholomew's Class Blog

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

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.

What have we been up to this past few weeks?

Working together as a team.

What else can we find in this grass?

We had lots of interesting experiences at the STEM week, exploring science with a magician and exploring maths and living things with the high school STEM ambassadors.

We had to find different items in the garden, we found a yellow flower, some seeds, a brown leaf, a twig, something green and lots of other treasures! 

Mark’s dad made us a car and brought it in for us to see, we can keep it. He isn’t an engineer and some of us think this is a good job to do!

Our families came to the STEM zone with us and joined in with the challenge of designing and building someth8ng that had a moving part. We did really well and made some very interesting objects. 

We made gifts for our families to give to them at our Summer Tea. We made clay bowls and painted them too. 

We are now into our very last week of primary 1, our teacher is very sad as she loves us so much. We have had a great year and our teacher has loved getting to know us and our families. We have learned so much and have made fabulous friends. Thank you to our families for helping us in this very special first year of school.
