A Catch Up with Primary 4.

We have had a busy start to this term which has seen us do a range of activities. Last week we enjoyed in playing and taking part in the Samba music class. It was so much fun playing with the drums and the cow bells. We had ear protectors just in case, but by the end we didn’t need them!

This term we have started our new topic ‘The Victorians’ which has been fascinating so far. It has given us lots of opportunities to work in groups and become historians! In class we have been researching lots about Queen Victoria and what happened during her reign. We created a timeline of Victoria’s life and the special events that happened.

We have been working on our talking and listening skills by doing group presentations. We first came up with important presentation skills and what we need to look out for in group presentations. Once a group had presented we peer-assessed and provided back feedback. We will continue to work these skills.

Sea Monkey Diaries

ENTRY 3

Our Sea Monkeys have now all hatched and are beginning to grow. Today they received their first feed to help them grow bigger and stronger. We must feed them every 2-3 days to keep them healthy and everyone is helping out with the responsibilities. What a grown up bunch we are becoming!

‘Our School Episode 9’

Today, we visited the ‘Get Together Room’. This might well be one of our favourite rooms yet!

In the ‘Get Together Room’, you can see places in which you can be comfy and talk with your friends. The couches are so comfy that we think you could almost fall asleep when you are sitting on them! In this room, there is an oven and cooking equipment so you can even make food in here. In this room, we have made empire biscuits. We also found a secret door…

It’s great to be back :D!!

P2/3 have had a fantastic start back to school this year.

We have been very busy in class deciding on our new year resolutions and discussing them with each other.

We also took a trip to the ICT suite and logged onto our own personal GLOW accounts and were able to take part in a class discussion where we could like and reply to each other’s comments.

Finally we had a great time taking part in the Samba workshop.

It’s great to be back 😀 !!

‘Our School – Episode 8’

This week we took a trip to our school’s Performing Arts Studio. This room is named after Mark Millar, a former St Bartolomew’s pupil. We found lots of interesting things inside!

In this room, you can see lots of musical instruments. We saw some guitars, some drums and lots of keyboards. We loved playing the drums! There is a lot of room inside the Performing Arts Studio, which helps when you are playing the instruments. Some people get to use this room for Kodaly lessons and we always have a lot of fun during these classes.

This is another fantastic area in St Bartholomew’s Primary School!

Sea Monkey Diaries

ENTRY 2

We were delighted this morning to see that our tank water was really clear with many tiny oxygen bubbles. After 24 hours it was finally time to add our Sea Monkey Eggs!

We took turns to add the eggs from the packet into the tank. We then had to stir the water very gently to spread the eggs around.

Now we will have to wait patiently for the eggs to begin hatching. We can’t wait!

Jumping for joy!

Primary 2/3 were learning about the correct technique to make use of when jumping for length this week. We learned about how our arms can help us to jump and we also leaned how to combine different styles of jumping as part of one athletic movement. What a great start to the new term!
