St Bartholomew's Class Blog

Everyone has settled in well to school life and we are all enjoying learning with Mrs Carlin. We really love having our parents come along to our Stay and Read Sessions on Friday mornings – it’s great to have a little extra time together to read.

Not only do we have the right to learn in Primary 1, we also have the right to play! As we all enjoy running around outside at playtime and lunchtime, we also enjoy the play area outside our class where we can choose who to play with and where to play.

Keep up to date with our learning by visiting our blog regularly!

A  Great start to Primary 5/6!

This week was a fabulous week for us as we had an amazing visit to the zoo. The weather was not great but we managed to stay dry and didn’t let the lack of sunshine damped our enthusiasm.

The birds we saw were very beautiful and well looked after.

There were a lot of surprises in the reptile house.

Can you spot this Ruffle-necked-lizard?

Shshshshsh! We don’t want this guy to waken up…he’s huge!

Look at this green lizard waving at us!

A bright and colourful parrot.

Two giant tortoises were fast asleep.

These crocodiles were so still they looked likes statues….but they weren’t!

Can you see this crocodiles eyes peeping up above the water?

At the petting zoo.

This reindeer was losing its warm winter coat.

This reindeer wasn’t too interest in us.

The rescued lions were amazing.

We couldn’t believe how huge they were.

The secret garden was beautiful.

We all loved this little pagoda.

A beautiful place filled with gorgeous plants.

This emu made us laugh.

Handling a milk snake with one of the zoo keepers.

Handling a cockroach…it was very tickly.

Everyone fell in love with this little spikey tenrec from Madagascar.

We all had an interesting and exciting time at the zoo and learned lots of new information and saw lots of new animals and plants. This will help us in our living things topic this term. Thank you to the people at the zoo and thank you to our parent helpers for helping us enjoy our day.

This week we had our last Stay and Read. Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came along over the sessions to read with us. We have loved it.

Also this week, we had a taster session of Komodo Karate. Look at the skills we learned and the fun we had.

In the computer room this week, we have been showing the teacher how much we know about the seasons and the weather before we move on to another topic next week.

We finished off our Weather topic by looking at hot and cold countries. We packed our suitcases for different climates and made a colourful map of the world showing the hot and cold areas.

We have been reading some very tricky books this term. We are definitely ready for primary 2!

Look at this super girl. She ran the Race for Life and raised a great deal of money for cancer research. We are very proud of you.
