St Bartholomew's Class Blog

This week has been an extremely busy week in Primary 6/7. Firstly we had the sponsored obstacle course, even Miss Kiernan had a go!

Mr Young organised a Christmas card competition. The children had to complete a Christmas picture and the winning picture will be put onto a Christmas Card which will be sold at the Christmas Fair.

Well done Primary 6/7 for collecting so many tins for Helping Hands!

This week have been looking at a number of things as part of our UK topic.

One thing we have been looking at is Coatbridge, our local area. We began researching how Coatbridge got it’s name then we became engrossed finding all about Coatbridge throughout the years.

Did you know the Coatbridge fountain has been moved many times in the past? Look at these photos below. Can you guess the decade?

We really liked the ones with the horse and carts!

Keep an eye on school bags for Monday’s homework. A bit different this week. A Coatbridge challenge!

We have also been continuing to read through The BFG. We are at the part where Sophie and the giant head to Buckingham palace. We followed their journey via our smart board and we were fascinated with Buckingham Palace. What a lovely building! We even had a wee sneaky peak inside. Very impressive and glamorous. We decided to draw it in art and decided to write about meeting the queen in story writing! Imagine!

Primary 6/7 put on a spectacular performance today at their class assembly based on the musical The Lion King!

Well done!

Primary five have been very busy practising our tables. If you walk by our room you will see us playing games such as stand and deliver, hot seat, bean bag pass and so on. These are to help us to remember our tables quicker. It’s a challenge but we are really enjoying it!

We have been learning all about theUK. Part of this has involved us looking at the Atlas and we are beginning to become experts when it comes to locating places on maps and using co-ordinates. We are really enjoying this and some of us have even chosen to read an Atlas in our reading for enjoyment time!

Part of learning about the UK is looking at how the UK is lead.  We had a look at the Royal Family And their family tree. It was interesting to find out who is first in line for the throne. Did you know there are people 13th in line for the throne? We had a good look at who will be our future king or Queen!

The next part of our topic is to look at the local area of Coatbridge! Keep your eyes peeled for questionnaires and little researchers coming from Pr 5!

This week has been very exciting in primary 3 as we are now learning our numbers up to a thousand! We used our class treasure chests to help us sort the hundreds, tens and units.

We then used the HTU mats to help us write some numbers up to a thousand.

Finally, we took a break from our number work to begin learning about pictograms. We made a class pictograms on the  smartboard showing our favourite fruits.
