These primary seven girls were selected today to work with the artists in our Community room. The girls were shown shading, realism and depth. A big thank you to our fabulous artists who take time to work with the children. The girls really enjoyed their experience.

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks in primary 5/6.
We had our class assembly on the Scottish Parliament which we worked really hard on. We shared our learning and lots of awesome facts with everyone who came to see us. Not to mention, we performed our very own song to the music of Don’t Stop Believing. Our song was called Don’t Stop Voting and we worked hard to write the lyrics ourselves. On the day of the assembly we also made empire biscuits which we got to share with our families when they came back to our class after the performance.
After our assembly was over, we began our new topic – The Scottish Wars of Independence. We’re really enjoying it so far and are looking forward to our trip to Stirling Castle in a few weeks time. Over the last few weeks we’ve explored aspects such as the timeline and main events of the Scottish Wars of Independence, and had a look at some of the key figures during this time in Scotland. Here are some photos of our dramatic exploration of William Wallace’s role in the Scottish Wars of Independence:
Continuing with our topic theme, we have written news paper articles detailing the gruesome events of the Battle of Stirling Bridge. We can’t wait for our trip to Stirling Castle next week.
Four talented pupils from primary 5/6 were chosen, last week, to represent the school in a North Lanarkshire Schools Badminton tournament. It was a busy and fun day and we’re very proud to tell you that the St Bartholomew’s team won first place in the tournament! A huge well done to our superstars!
Sports day yesterday brought out even more sporty stars from primary 5/6 as well as pupils from throughout the school. We had a fabulous day and the sun kept its hat on for us. Here are some action shots from some of the races.

In preparation for the transition to high school, primary seven are taking part in a stepping stones award scheme. This involves making a notebook about the induction visit, making a presentation to another class and making passports all about ourselves.
We had to take pictures of each other for the passports. Here are the pictures. Aren’t we looking all mature and ready for high school?

Primary seven had the privilege of working with primary 1/2. They have been telling us all about their brilliant bee and mini beast topic and so we decided to paint fantastic mini beast pictures with them.
Mrs Carlin loved them and has decorated her class entrance with them!

We have had great maths fun this week in our class! Everyone rose to the challenge of designing and making a board game and then brought them in to play with their friends. It was brilliant fun and what a super variety of games. Here are some….
In RE this week, we learned about the feast of the Sacred Heart and changed our altar for the month of June. We now have the statue of the Sacred Heart on it to remind us of Jesus’ never ending love and mercy. We helped prepare the altar by making collage hearts.

We have started an exciting new topic in p4 called ‘The Human Body.’ We decided that we wanted to start our learning by investigating the skeleton. First up, we explored some non-fiction texts to help us find out some facts about the skeleton…
Then, we watched a really interesting video that helped us to name some of the bones in the skeleton…
We then had to put a skeleton together and label as many bones as we could. We found out that thigh bone is called the femur and that it’s the longest bone in the human body!
After all that, we took part in a group challenge. We worked in groups against the clock to make a giant skeleton. We had to figure it all out in our teams and then label the bones with as many correct names as we could remember…
Finally, we named our skeletons and gave a short class presentation…
Now we’re off to explore the muscles in the human body!

After our First Holy Communion, which was on Pentecost Sunday, we learned about Trinity Sunday. This is the first Sunday after Pentecost. To help us understand the Holy Trinity, we talked about an egg which is made of three parts – the shell, the yolk and the white. Yet it’s all just one egg. The Holy Trinity is like this because it also has three parts – God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yet there’s only one God. We know that we talk about the Trinity every time we pray when we make the Sign of the Cross.

It’s been a couple of weeks now since we made our First Holy Communion and it was a very special day indeed. We were quite simply perfect in every way. Here are some photos to help with the memories…
Congratulations to all the boys and girls who made their First Holy Communion. A special thank you goes to the boys who did not receive the Sacrament but did come to Church to help out with the choir. Well done boys!
