Little Red Riding Hood called on her friends from Fairytale Land to put on a Nativity Show. She played the part of Mary, Goldilocks was Gabriel, the Three Little Pigs were the wise men and the innkeeper was the big bad wolf! Castlehill’s Primary one and two children dressed as characters from Fairytale Land and entertained a packed hall with this amusing Christmas musical.

The Christmas show Presented By Southend Primary
On Thursday the 10th of December Southend Primary and ELCC unit put on a play called ‘What a Star’ and ‘Christmas Is Forever’. ‘What A Star’ featured a small star called Leo who was bullied and laughed at because of his size, but God sent an angel who told Leo to be the star that shone above the stable where Jesus was lying in a manger full of hay. This resulted in Leo becoming the most special star of all time.

St. Mun’s Children Boost Local Food Bank
While it is only natural for children to look forward to Christmas and to receiving presents from Santa, the children of St. Mun’s took time out this Advent Season to remember people less fortunate than themselves. The children were asked to donate one item of food, which could be put into a food parcel and delivered in time for Christmas to people who needed a little help this holiday season.

This term our class practised singing Christmas songs and made a Christmas Choir. We sang lots of different songs.

We went down to the brilliant Co-op to sing our songs to the happy shoppers.
Strone Primary visit to Morrisons
The P5-7 class enjoyed a look behind the scenes at Morrisons store in Dunoon, as part of their Food For Thought project. Pupils were given a tour of the food preparation areas, and found out about local produce and food journeys. They were also given a front of house experience on the check-out! Afterwards the pupils managed to fit in some carol singing to raise funds towards their residential next summer.

Christingle at Rothesay Primary
The United Church of Bute visited Rothesay Primary to share the tradition of ‘Christingle’ with Primary 1. Anne McGhie and Stewart Shaw told the children that the oranges were the earth we live on, the red ribbon a reminder of Jesus and the sweets all around to help us remember the good things that Jesus did for us and that we can do for each other. The boys and girls found putting everything together quite tricky but were very pleased with the results (although one or two of the sweets and raisins got munched along the way!).

Minard and Furnace perform ‘The McTivity’
The children of Minard and Furnace Primaries performed their version of the Nativity on Wednesday the 16th to friends and families in a packed out Minard village hall.
The show was called ‘The McTivity’ as it tells the Christmas story in Scots. The children had been studying the Scottish language and enjoyed writing stories in Scots. Finding the ‘McTivity’ to perform was a good follow up drama activity.

Christmas Lunch at Bowmore Primary School
After such a busy term, it was so lovely to sit down altogether and enjoy a spectacular Christmas feast! Our staff waited upon our children – this seemed liked a good move until Ms Gilbert caught Mrs Morris and Mrs Heads swiping the odd pig-in-blanket! Luckily there were enough for all. Our hardworking kitchen ladies provided a scrummy dinner – the full works! Crackers were pulled, jokes were exchanged and tummies were filled all to the sound of Slade and Wizzard – what could be better! Merry Christmas everyone!
