Christmas Dinner

Our yearly Christmas lunch had been planned for last Thursday the 8th of December, but due  to adverse weather conditions the school was closed and lunch was postponed until Friday. The children enjoyed a choice of steak pie or turkey with all the trimmings as well as a selection of desserts. Mr Clark supplied a chocolate treat and table settings. Many thanks to the parent helpers who  assisted in giving out the dinners. Here are some photographs of the children enjoying their special meal.

Christmas Assembly

Today pupils, from Nursery to P7, performed their Christmas Assembly to a sell-out crowd. We were joined today by some special guests from St James’ Court who stayed on to enjoy tea, coffee and christmas pies. Thursday and Friday’s performances are also sold out.

Here are a few photographs from this morning’s performance.

Panto Fun

Primary 1 to 7 of Kirkshaws Primary went to Motherwell Civic Theatre yesterday morning to see the pantomime ‘Beauty and the Beast’. It was a fantastic show with lots of audience participation. French Frankie managed to make us all laugh, but the water fight was definitely the favourite with all the children. Many thanks to Mrs Peat and Mrs Dunn for making up the snack bags for every pupil who went on the trip. Fingers crossed we can make it along to next years show.
