Thanks to Joe Bradley and the Kano Foundation, we were recently able to take a trip to Celtic Park to see Celtic take on Hearts. It was a thrilling game and Celtic won 3-1. It was a really terrific night. We saw some great football, made new friends and sang and jumped about all night. It was so much fun! Have a look at our photographs!

We started off our week looking at our writing targets and carried out some self and peer assessment activities to check what targets we had achieved and set some new targets for next time!
We also enjoyed working in pairs or trios to test each other on this week’s new spelling rule. We asked our partner to spell the word and then write the word as we checked for any mistakes and gave them praise when they got it correct.
Finally, at the end of the week we enjoyed some reading for enjoyment as we visited our library, chose our own books, got comfy enjoying the sun shining through the windows and let our imaginations grow with all the fantastic books we were reading.

This week we have been learning about using our skills and talents to help others. This is us doing God’s work on earth. We made a beautiful tree with our hand prints to show how we can use our hands to do God’s work. 
Here are some of the book covers we designed at home for part of our January homework challenge. We talked about the books we have read and some people in our class would like to read them too. 
At literacy time, we are learning to write a dictated sentence and to use our new phonemes. We are getting quite confident with this.
At paired reading time, we took part in the reading challenge with our buddies. We can look at our reading challenge sheet and try to find a particular book, like a book with a one word title or a book about space. 
For science day this week, we looked at different materials and what they would be used for. We worked in a team to create a shelter that was warm, dry and safe. We used a variety of materials. Also we had to design a raft that would sail in our water tray. It had to be waterproof! We worked with a partner and made some interesting boats. 
In ICT, we are learning to use WORD to type and change a sentence. 
In maths, we are learning to take away 2. This means 2 less. We can jump back on a number trakc to take away 2.

Here we are making and playing with our rainbow sticks. We made them when learning the colours in Spanish and Sign Language. We are also practicing our take away skills in many different ways – using spinners and creating our own take away stories, doing word problems on the ipads and using the number cards to practice taking away 1.
We love the play area, we like to make and be creative. this week we also made our own snow and we played with the oobleck which acts like a solid and a liquid.
In ICT, we learned more about everything being made of atoms by looking at pointillism. We created our own dotty pictures, practicing our click and drag skills too. You can also see our ice balloons where we explored freezing and melting and how we did a quiz to show how much we had learned.
In literacy time, we have lots of different activities going on in our quiet working class. We do some spelling and story tasks on the ipads, our favourite is Read Me because we get to listen to and read along with new books. We also play sound games and are learning to use a dictionary too. You can also see our Star Writers.

This week we enjoyed learning more about our topic for this term ‘The Romans’.
We became archaeologists as we started off exploring the classroom to see what different ancient artefacts we could find.
Next, we worked together with our team to piece together our artefacts and try to decide what we thought they could be. To help us with this we had some extra information in our mystery envelopes and we displayed excellent talking and listening skills in our teams to piece together the clues.
Finally the presenters from each group shared their groups findings with the whole class. As archaeologists we uncovered the equipment that would have been used by a Roman Soldier.
Also this week the P4 children were working hard thinking about love, care and celebrations in the church community and they enjoyed discussing this together and then making a flip book to share their thoughts about how Jesus is alive in their life together. 
The P5 children were also working hard this week sharing their knowledge of the 7 sacraments and focused on the ‘Sacrament of Healing’ thinking about the different miracles Jesus performed and how the sacrament of healing is shown today. 
Finally, we finished off our week by putting our digital technology skills to good use and accessed our Glow profiles to search, retrieve and share information about the Roman coin and Roman mosaics.
Keep an eye out on our blog for more fantastic work next week!! 😃🌟

The HMIe team who are visiting our school have all commented on the lovely and sometimes, very humorous personalities of our pupils. They have been wonderful ambassadors for St Bartholomew’s and I know that the team are looking forward to working alongside them for the next couple of days.
Our pupil voice groups feature in our timetable today and the first task of the chairperson and secretary from each group will be to host the Primary 4 to Primary 7 meeting . The agenda will then be discussed with the P1 to Primary 3 cohort, later on in the morning ,and then feedback to Mrs McLean and myself will be scheduled in the afternoon. We are both looking forward to hearing some wonderful ideas!
A huge thank you to our supportive parents who very kindly volunteered to attended a meeting yesterday,chaired by the lay member of the HMIe team. A further expression of gratitude is attributable to our school partners, who also attended a similar meeting . This is very much appreciated.
Please check school bags for our most recent newsletter as there are important dates for your diary included.

We explored symmetry in maths. P.2 children were matching up pictures to make a symmetrical one and P.1 children were making symmetrical butterflies.
During music time we had to listen and repeat the number of beats. We started repeating the beat with our voices then clapping before moving onto the instruments. Using the instruments was definitely our favourite!
We used the coloured bears to self assess our learning after music time.
We met with our buddies again, this time to continue with our paired reading sessions! We have readings passports to fill in that our buddies help us with. It’s great having the big boys and girls to help us with our reading.
At the end of the week we got to see the primary 4 children performing their assembly all about forgiveness! It was a great way to end the week.

The children decided on what they wanted to learn in our science topic on Space! They also shared information they already knew about Space. Clever cookies!
We have been learning how to write an explanation on how rockets work. The children produced some excellent pieces of work!
We are having a look at different types of poems and produced some excellent acrostic poems on rockets.
