This week has seen us begin preparations for our Christmas Show. This year we will be presenting two nativities. Primary One, Two and Three will present Rock the Baby and Primary Six and Seven will be presenting Hosanna Rock. As usual there is lots of excitement as we prepare the songs and children audition for the main parts. The suspense is tangible especially in Primary Seven.

I must commend all of the children for their behaviour at our Mass for the feast of All Saints Day. The children’s behaviour was outstanding and their Mass responses and singing was wonderful. Well done boys and girls!

We also welcomed our first batch of parent helpers into school this week to support us and what a great job they have done so far. We are very grateful for their support.

We have some super topics being studied in Social Subjects this term. The infants are finding out all about the Egyptians, Rooms 9 and 10 are looking at the Vikings and Rooms 12-14 are looking at the Tudor/Stuart era. Already there are great plans in place to display this work around the school.

If you happen to be in Morrisons next week please look out for our art display. Our pupils in Rooms 9 and 10 were invited to create firework pictures – they are really beautiful so please have a look if you are in shopping.

Next week we are hosting an Eco meeting for school across Lanarkshire. We have been asked to host this to demonstrate to other schools how we managed to secure our fifth Eco Flag. Mrs Duffy and representatives from our Eco Committee will be presenting at this meeting.

Please remember that our Parent Council are hosting a quiz night on Friday 15th November. I do hope that you will support this evening –last year’s was a great success and great fun too!
Please come along and have a good night (Adults only)
