December
We begin this week with our Advent Service, for the next three Mondays we will prepare for the Christmas Season with a weekly prayer service. Primary 5/6 will lead us this week as we begin ‘The Road to Bethlehem.’
Primary Six pupils were involved in a joint event on Monday with Calderbridge Primary School – Bubblegum and Fluff drama group presented a morning of Christmas craft and activity to begin preparations for the Christmas Season.
This week sees everyone going out to the theatre. It doesn’t seem ten months since I consulted with parents to see if there was agreement about going to the forthcoming production of ‘The Lion King’. Well this Wednesday all of Primary 2-7 will head to the Playhouse in Edinburgh to see this wonderful production – a memory I am sure will stay with the children for ever.
Primary One will visit the Wizard of Oz at Motherwell Civic Centre – I am sure they will love this too.
Please remember that we currently have tickets on sale for our Christmas production on 10th and 11th December. Primary Six and Seven will present the tableau ‘Hosanna Rock’ and Primary One, Two and Three will treat us to their version of Rock the Baby. All of this puts us straight into the Christmas Spirt.
Primary Seven have had a very busy time. They have now completed their Forest School block and have enjoyed their learning in the outdoor environment – despite the cold and the rain! They also attended Ravenscraig Sports Centre on Thursday along with Primary Six to participate in Sportshall Athletics – everyone reported that they had a super afternoon.
Primary Five will begin their swimming block this week – they will spend every Tuesday morning having a swim session and a dry session in Wishaw Sports Centre. I know they will do us proud.
