Despite a few technical difficulties with the microphones prior to the show, our opening performance of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ was a MASSIVE success last night. I’m so proud of the boys and girls for all their hard work and enthusiasm. You are all absolute stars! Many thanks to all the mums, dads, grandparents and friends who came to see the show; you were a fantastic audience! There are still a few tickets available for this afternoon’s performance. Don’t miss out on the chance to see the show! It’s out-of-this-world!

Please can I take this opportunity to thank St Bartholomew’s staff for all the hard work they have put into the show:
Mrs Smillie and Mrs Clare for dealing with the ticket sales;
Mr Lynch for preparing the hall for the show;
Mr Hughes, Mrs O’Neill, Mrs McLean, Mrs Bolland and Mrs McIntyre for all their work and support behind the scenes;
Mrs McBride for decorating the stage, along with numerous other practical jobs;
Mrs McNaughton for all her hard work with costumes and props, including the fantastic goat!
Mrs Dolan for all her expertise in creating the fantastic costumes, including the AMAZING multi-coloured coat (WOW!);
Special thanks to Mrs McFarlane for the massive amount of hard work she has put in with the children over the past couple of months. The staging, dancing, facial expressions and singing didn’t happen by accident… It would never have happened without your creativity, patience, enthusiasm and commitment. Thank you so much!

One more performance to go (which will be as fantastic as ever!) then we can all enjoy a well-earned rest over the long weekend. Please remember that St Bartholomew’s is closed to pupils on Monday and Tuesday of next week. We’ll see you back bright and breezy on Wednesday morning.

Our final two ‘Joseph’ wall displays are the creative work of our Nursery children and our Primary 7 pupils. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the artistic talents of St Bartholomew’s over the past week. Have a great long weekend!
