St Bartholomew's Class Blog

This week we have been practising for our assembly which is next Friday at 2:00pm (we hope to see you there!) but, even though our minds are still on Spain, we have started to explore our new topic which is…The Solar System!

We we watched a video about our Solar System and practised our note taking skills…

Since it it was the Hallowe’en disco on Thursday, we decided to get a bit spooky in class to get us in the mood. Amid the spooky sounds and scary cobwebs we studied silhouettes and created our own haunted houses…

On Halloween we will add some colour to our spooky houses using chalk and oil pastels. We hope to scare (and impress) you then!

P2/3 had a fantastic time on their school trip to the Botanic Gardens where they explored the area for different mini beasts and had a few close encounters with the wildlife!!

Magnifying classes at the ready, the children explored high and low looking in the trees, leaves, and soil to see what they could find. We even managed to catch a few spiders, flys and bugs.

The squirrels seemed very excited to see us around their habitat and popped over to say hello!

Finally we had a go at charming the worms and even managed to charm a few out of the ground.

What a fantastic day hunting for minibeasts :D!!

This week we all took part in the Christmas card competition. Being very creative, we decided to paint the background of our card using lots of different colours. Afterwards, we cut out a snowman and added some detail…..we will post a picture next week when the winner has been announced.

Also this week, we took part in a fun football session. Here we are, listening carefully to the coach and having a go at football. 

When Friday arrived, we were pleased to see so many parents/carers coming in to read with us again at our stay and read sessions. This is week 4, so 2 more sessions to go. It has been very enjoyable for everyone.

I loved the illustrations in this book.

This story is a rhyming story.

Knight Quest has lots of puzzles and challenges in it.

Well you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was the festive season in P6 yesterday. The Christmas music was playing and we were singing along merrily as we designed Christmas cards for a super competition…

Very surreal (like Salvador Dali’s art!) but lots of fun!

Happy holidays everyone!
