We Three Kings!

The annual Christmas Show was held at Kells on Wednesday 16th December.

The P5-7 class opened the show by playing some music on the tin whistles which was accompanied by guitars and keyboard. They also sang some French songs.

P1-5 then performed ‘We Three Kings’ to parents, family members and friends of Kells Primary on Wednesday 16th December. The children told the story of the Nativity through the eyes of the Three Kings. There was some super singing and dancing by P1-5 as well.

Well done to P1-5 and P5-7!

Christmas Concert 2014

The Christmas Concert was held on the afternoon and evening of  Tuesday 16th December. P1-4 opened the concert with the recorder group playing ‘Ode to Joy’ then the whole class sang ‘Christmas Dinner’ and ‘Jingle Bells.’ P5-7 then performed ‘Children of the World’ to parents and friends of the school. The musical explored Christmas traditions in specific countries around the world. P5-7 worked really hard this term to learn new songs, lines, stage directions and also numerous costume changes. Well done to both classes on their super performances!

Christmas Lunch 2014

Wilma, our new cook, prepared a super Christmas Lunch for pupils and staff on Wednesday 10th December. We had melon for starters, turkey and the trimmings for the main course and trifle or chocolate fudge cake for dessert. Our P7 pupils helped serve the meal to the rest of the pupils and staff.

Glenkens Cluster Christmas Service

On Friday 20th December all pupils from Carsphairn, Dalry and Kells got together for the annual Christmas Service at Dalry Church. The service was led by Mr Simpson and Dr Bartholomew with specific pupils from the three schools involved in singing Carols and reading from the Bible. After church we all walked back to Dalry School for a hot chocolate and some shortbread in the school hall.

Kells Musical Cafe

The PTA organised a Musical Cafe on Thursday 19th December to raise money for school funds. Both classes sang songs to entertain parents and friends of the school while they enjoyed a cup of coffee and some home-baking. There were also a few stalls for people to purchase from and the Christmas Raffle was drawn at the very end of the afternoon. In total £517 was raised. Well done to all involved!

Christmas Party

The pupils enjoyed their Christmas Party on the last day of term. There was the usual mix of food, traditional games as well as some dancing. We were very lucky that Santa Claus could find the time from his busy schedule to visit Kells to present all the pupils with a selection box.

Hey Ewe!

Primary 1-4 performed ‘Hey Ewe!’ for parents and friends on the afternoon and evening of the 16th December. The children told the story of the Nativity through the eyes of a very curious sheep. The PTA served tea, coffee, mince pies and shortbread after the performances. £102 was raised on the day from the Christmas Hamper Raffle. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the pupils.
