A busy first week back in primary 6/7

Happy New year everyone!

It has been a week of new learning in primary 6/7

This week we began our preparation for confirmation. Our confirmation is the 7th of February and we are very excited about this important sacrament. We have been learning about how Jesus used the Holy Spirit in his life and how people use the Holy Spirit to help others.

Mrs MacFarlane and Mrs Crielly will be hosting an information session all about Confirmation on Monday 15th January at three o’clock. We will be discussing the Sacrament, homework sessions, different roles for everyone and practicalities for the night. We hope to see many of you there.

This week we have also started our new topic World War II. The children were very excited to begin this topic and have already learned about how the war began. We have also started to look at evacuation. The children can’t wait for their next lesson.

This week we have enjoyed reading our novels aloud to our peers and we assessed each other on this. Lots of new targets were set and we hope to achieve these soon.

Welcome back to P4!

We have had a very busy and productive first week back after the holidays and we are all feeling refreshed and ready to learn! We have been talking about our New Year’s resolutions this week and we have set ourselves some targets for the term and the year to come, hopefully we will all be able to stick to them! We also started our new topic in maths which is all about shape, we worked together in pairs to create a poster showing what we already know about shape and what we would like to learn over the next few weeks. We then got to stand up in front of the class and present them to everyone. Here is some of our fantastic work:

Back to school, back to work!

The Christmas holidays were certainly a lot of fun for all of us! However, we’re now back at school and the P.7 class recently had the opportunity to take part in a new sport called benchball. It combines elements of netball and basketball. We had fun playing chest passes, taking shots and working together as a team.

Hope you all enjoy the photographs!

A look back at term 2 in pr 6/7

Happy New Year! We can’t wait to start term 3!

Before we do here is a little look back at our highlights from November and December!

Micro Tyco

Our school decided to join in the micro tyco challenge during November. This involved us getting into teams and coming up with business plans to raise money. The money then got sent to other countries to help those less well off to start their own businesses. We had great businesses set up: guess the monkey’s birthday, Pokemon sale, toy sale, popcorn and candy floss stall. Phew it was all very exciting and we raised hundreds of pounds!

Safety!

We have been learning a lot about making safe choices, peer pressure and how to deal with threatening behaviour. We even had a visit from the Police who gave us great advice!

Buddy time!

We have had so much fun and experience working with our little buddies. We help them to read, write and to set targets for learning. They surprised us with beautiful thank you cards.

We have been really enjoying cooking lessons from a high school home economics teacher. We have learned all about safety in the kitchen, hygiene, different food groups and of course how to make tasty meals!

We are really becoming good at netball. We have loved our lessons and we enjoy playing as a team!

Christmas was excellent in our school this year. From Christmas pantomime in Glasgow, Christmas Lunches, Christmas concerts, Scottish dancing, Christmas parties and of course Secret Santa! What fun we had!

We even went down and sang for St Bartholomew’s parish!

Last but not least! We had big bingo!

What a great experience! Lots of parents and guardians came in to play bingo with us. Money raised was passed on to Missio.

Primary 1 Last Week of Term.

We have had a fabulous last week of school this term. We cannot believe how quickly it has gone.

Here we are with our Show and Tell books. Everyone was able to do a class talk and show the class their favourite book from home.

Also, one of the highlights of our week had to be our Nativity show, we were superstars, everyone of us!!! Our teacher was the proudest teacher in the whole school.

Then it was party time, here we are with our party gear on, it was a great afternoon with Scottish dancing, traditional party games and dancing.

Our buddies came down to help us review our learning for term 2 and to set new targets for term 3. They were very helpful as it is a lot of work.

We explored visiting a Scottish castle through our drama this week and all remembered the real castle we visited in Stirling at the start of the term.

We evaluated what we felt about the Scottish dancing using our feelings faces.

At the end of the week, we made Christmas cards for our families.

P.3 Athletics

In P.E, we’ve been studying different styles of running. We learned about sprinting (which is good for short-distance races) and jogging (which can come in handy when you don’t want to use up all your energy too soon).

We’ve enjoyed training drills, multi-discipline learning and even a class Championship Race! Well done to everyone who took part!

P.4/5 Gymnastics

Primary 4/5 have been exploring how to we can make use of different equipment as part of their recent gymnastics topic. We have learned to make use of apparatus such as benches, climbing frames and balancing horses to combine different gymnastic actions.

As always, our standards of behaviour and our attitude towards learning new skills is first class. Keep it up boys and girls!

St Bart’s F.C. – Mid-season report

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As Christmas approaches, the weather gets worse and so the Coatbridge Friendship League takes a break for a few weeks. St Bart’s F.C can feel proud of their efforts throughout the season so far.

In training, we continue to work hard and develop our skills. The atmosphere in the squad is top-notch and I’m really proud to see all of our players looking out for one another on the pitch. The new signings have fitted in really well and we’re all looking forward to the season starting back again in the new year.

“Going to the football is BRILLIANT!”

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Some boys and girls from our school were able to enjoy a very special school trip last night. Thanks to Joe Bradley and The Kano Foundation, we were able to go along and see Celtic play Hamilton Accies. What a night!

We started off by getting a bus to the stadium. We arrived early and were able to take in the sights such as the Billy McNeill statue, the ‘Celtic Way’ and the front entrance to the stadium. It was brilliant!

After that, we stepped inside. Following a fantastic first half, Celtic were winning by three goals to one. We celebrated by getting some free hot food and drink to keep ourselves warm. We were also in fine voice throughout, singing out loud at the top of our lungs with our friends!

On the way back home, we were absolutely buzzing with excitement at the night that we had enjoyed. We had fun with our friends, we saw some great footballing skills and we behaved excellently throughout. Well done to everyone who came and thanks to Joe Bradley, Mr Fallen and The Kano Foundation!
