We’ve been having fun in P.E. this week. We’ve started to study gymnastics.
We learned how to create some balances and we then had the chance to link these actions together to make sequences. We also had the opportunity to make use of gymnastic apparatus such as climbing horses. What a great day!
Have a look at what we’ve been up to below!

We had another great week in primary seven this week. We began learning all about laws and how a law is made in Scottish Parliament. Then we looked at persuasive writing. After learning the features of persuasion, we then wrote a draft letter for Nicola Sturgeon about our ideas for possible new laws in Scotland.
We also started learning about colons and semi-colons. We have been looking at their purpose and when is best to use them. It was tricky but great fun!
This week in PE, we have started to become even more skilled in badminton. We are getting more confident with serving and hitting back to our partners. Mrs MacFarlane said we have some excellent players in our class.
This week we have had great fun painting our politicians for our Scottish Parliament wall display. We can’t wait to share our finished wall with you next week.
Pr6/7 have been enjoying some parental engagement homework this term. We have had children playing board games with family members, children cooking meals with and for their families and children were even asked to set tables, make beds and tidy up at home! What great homework! Getting everyone at home working together!

We have been very busy at home and at school this week learning all about our local community. In class we have been looking at what a community needs and then we transferred our new knowledge to our home, where we engaged our parents in a big challenge! We had to design and make a 3D building that we thought would be good for our street that we are creating in class. Look out for our street picture when we name our street next week.
Also this week we have been learning to count along a number track, some of us found this quite tricky….
Here we are at RE time. We know that we all belong to different families, clubs, friendship groups and teams but we all belong together in church, in St Bart’s and we all belong to God. We made hearts to show that God loves us and we belong to him.
We will give you a finished heart as a gift when you co e to see us at our class assembly next Friday.

P.6/7 have been hard at work over the last few weeks. In P.E., we’ve been studying football skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting. On Tuesday, we had the opportunity to put these new skills into practice at our end of topic football tournament.
Every team worked hard, showed tremendous sportsmanship and demonstrated excellent technique. However, in the end, the Blue team emerged victorious. Well done!

Welcome to the primary 1/2 class blog. Check here to see what new things we have been learning in class!
Our topic this term is Dinosaurs! It’s really interesting. We are currently making dinosaur eggs using papier-mâché. It’s quite tricky but we are getting there!
We have also been writing some wonderful stories.
Well done for working so hard! Miss Duffy is very proud!

It’s been a terrific start to the 2017/18 season for our school football team. Some veterans have returned to the club but we’ve also bolstered the squad with some exciting new signings.
We started off our training programme by focussing on our dribbling technique. Mr Fowler was massively impressed by the close control on show. We then moved on to studying different ways of passing the ball. We’re well-equipped for the season ahead!
Finally, the squad pledged their immediate futures to the school team by signing their brand new contracts. These contracts outlined what is expected of our new squad of players, as well as the detailing the rewards and bonuses that they can expect throughout the year.
We’ll keep you posted and let you know all about our progress!

It has been a mind puzzling, fantastic fun week in our school- it’s been Maths Week!
Our highlights of the week have been the escape rooms and the maths family fun day!
In the escape rooms, we were given different puzzles to solve. With each answer we uncovered the combination to a padlock in the box. Once we had opened one padlock in the box we had to then go on solving puzzles until we got the next one. The last padlock was our timer and we got to switch that off to get a completion time. It was great fun! We loved the challenge, the team work and working against the clock! Awesome fun!
For the family fun day, our families were invited in to join us for a quiz and to have a go at some of the interactive maths activity tables. We had parents playing snakes and ladders, making times tables fortune tellers, going on maths trails, solving puzzle mysteries and so on! It was a huge success and we were so delighted with how many family members took time to come and join us. After it was all over, our families were rewarded with tea and cakes before heading home. What a fantastic day at St Barts!

What a fabulous start to our new year! We have really enjoyed getting to know each other in our new class.
In literacy we have been working on a class novel “Ratburger” by David Walliams. This novel has been hilarious and we have enjoyed working together on it to explore the comprehension strategies. MrsMacFarlane  finished reading it aloud on Friday and we all started clapping once it was finished. What a great read!
We will now work on our on our group novels and use the comprehension strategies independently.
In maths primary seven have been looking at various forms of multiplication. Rounding and adjusting, the grid method and long and short written methods. Next week we will be tackling multiplying by two digits. Like 237×58???????
Primary six have been looking at equivalent fractions and we have become really skilled at simplifying fractions. Our next step is finding fractions of numbers. We can’t wait!
We have been exploring paper art. This was inspired from making rosettes through our Scottish Parliament topic. Watch this space for when we share our finished items.

Here we are busy in class learning about sounds and capital letters.
We had  a great time at the Problem Solving day . Everyone worked together and soled the shape puzzles.
At art time we painted pictures of ourselves. You will see them when you come up for our assembly on the 29th September.
We were so pleased to have our parents and carers at the Stay and Read again.
Then we all went to the hall for the big maths quiz.
On Friday afternoon we went to the computer room and learned how to switch on the computer and use the mouse.
