We have been working our socks off in primary 7 writing critical essays about our own chosen novel.
All year, Mrs MacFarlane has been guiding us through some critical analysis of texts and we are now able to put all this together into a final essay. We have explored themes, characters and settings. We have used quotes to explore our points and added our own opinion.
Our critical essays are being sent up to the high school. We hope they will be impressed.

Primary seven have been getting busy in the Mark Millar Performing Art Studio. We have been learning about musical notes, the stave and have been reading some music and playing some instruments.
We have really mastered how to play Ode to joy by Beethoven!
We even had a go at composing and playing our own music!
Our next step is to progress onto the keyboard. Can’t wait!

Great fun was had by all at the sports day last week!
The primary seven children were proud to lead their houses out on to the fields for a day of sunshine, laughter and brilliant races.
The seven’s were also praised for their help with each race. They were busy setting up equipment, helping wee ones and delivering water to some thirsty racers. Well done children!
The winning house at the end of the day was Summerlee. The two house captains were delighted!

In writing time, we all wrote a letter to our new teacher so that she or he can get to know us… we don’t know who it is yet… but we hope they like our letters. 
Another busy week. We are looking forward to our Bumble Bee Tea next Friday. BZZZZZZZZ!!!

We are enjoying our last few weeks in P4 and there’s still some super learning going on. This week has been all about the organs in the human body. We carried out a science experiment to find out what happens to food when we swallow it…
In writing today we completed an explanation report all about the organs in the human body and what they do. To help us we worked in groups to match the different organs to their descriptions…
Stay posted for some examples of our excellent reports!
Finally, we are off to Primary Games tomorrow. Mrs Dolan helped us to make an amazing banner to take with us…

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?
