Primary 2 had a great time in the gym hall today! We have started learning how to play tennis so we practiced passing the ball to our partner in lots of different ways. We also had to move about the hall with the tennis ball balanced on our racket, it looked really easy but we found it quite tricky! We can’t wait for next week!

This week p4 have been showcasing their skills in lots of different areas of the curriculum! In ICT we have been investigating the Scratch App and have been learning all about coding. This was great fun and we found out that we could by using coding instruct different characters to do what we want and when. We cannot wait to try different apps and develop our coding skills further!
It’s also nearly time for our school show and we would ‘do anything’ for you to come along to watch us perform! We have been practising very hard with our songs and dance routines to songs ‘food glorious food’ and ‘I’d do anything for you’. So ‘please sir’ come along!

With the second half of our season upon us, St Bartholomew’s F.C. have started back at football training. We’re so committed to the cause that even a torrential downpour from the heavens can’t stop us! Our new signings have fitted in well and we can’t wait for the next match. Here are some pictures from our most recent training session.

Primary 5 have been practicing our songs this week for the whole school show which takes place in two weeks time. We have been singing, dancing, getting costumes organised and on Friday we had great fun with glitter as we made our glittery 70s people for our wall display. We can’t wait to share our talent with you all on the 30th March. Abba fans will not be disappointed!

This week was very interesting! We put aside our usual timetable and concentrated instead on SCIENCE!
At the start of the week, we explored forces and discovered that there are two types of forces- push and pull.
We investigated some everyday activities and sorted them into push and pull forces.
After this, we wanted to explore further the effects of forces. So, we made our own kites from plastic bags and then took them outside to fly them. The wind pushed the kites up and we pulled the kites along. What a great way to find out about forces.
The next day, we looked at how to stop things from moving. We know that brakes can do to on many vehicles but we also new that something else was at work! Friction!
Each group made a car and then let them go down different ramps. The ramps had different surfaces, creating different levels of friction, which slowed our cars down. It was great fun exploring friction.
On Wednesday we started to look at sound and how sound was made. We discovered that sound was made by vibrations. Big vibrations made pull sounds and little vibrations made quiet sounds. We made our own siring telephones to explored how sounds travel.
Also this week, we have been focusing on bringing in healthy snacks do that our teeth can be healthier. Here we are with our lovely smiles. With less sugary snacks…our smiles will last a long, long time!

Primary Five had the trip of a lifetime last week when they visited Tullihouse Museum in Carlisle. Our bus journey was a lot longer than normal but we had to pass the border between Scotland and England to travel to Carlisle. The journey was an adventure it’s self with folks singing, chatting and sleeping!
When we got there we were greeted by lovely staff and taken around the museum. Then we took part in workshops where we were detectives and archeologists. We were smelling things, feeling them, sorting them and identifying items. We even had a look at bones,weapons, shoes and clothes. Then we were allowed to dress up like Romans and Celts! Everyone agreed it was awesome.
After lunch we went down stairs in the museum which is a massive area dedicated to Romans alone!
We were dressing up again, playing interactive computer games, looking at artefacts and we even had an attempt at building a Roman wall! We even managed to squeeze in a visit to the shop!
A fabulous day out for our fabulous class!
