P1 ‘Road to Bethlehem ‘9 December

Our P1 pupils have been invited to Moodiesburn Church Centre in the morning to participate in a special Christmas activity called the ‘Road to Bethlehem’.  The pupils will be split into groups and they will participate in different activities. There will be a sensory walk through Christmas trees, leading to the stable where the nativity shall be set up and the pupils will hear the nativity story.  There will also be other activities including crafts, songs and snack in the main hall.  We are looking for parents to accompany us to the event. If you can help, please let the P1 teachers know. Thanks.

We are charging £3 a ticket (£1.50 for a child) to attend this event and tickets go on sale on Monday 23 November. One ticket will be allocated for each parent until Monday 30 November when the remaining tickets will go on general sale.
