As the 30th November falls on a Sunday this year, our school community is celebrating St Andrew’s Day today. The whole school will attend the 10am Mass at St Bartholomew’s Church to honour our national patron. All parents and carers are very welcome to join us.

I was very impressed when I popped into Primary 1 yesterday. The boys and girls have been learning all about the night sky and had a special quiz to check out how much they could remember about the moon and stars. Here’s the winning team, proudly wearing their special ‘Over the Moon’ medals! Well done to all three of you!

I simply cannot express enough thanks to the amazing team of helpers who have worked so tirelessly over the past month or so to get ready for the Christmas Fayre. There was still a gran and a mum here at 5 o’clock last night putting finishing touches to Santa’s grotto! Thank you to the whole team, as well as Mrs Smillie who has co-ordinated the preparation for the event, for all your hard work.

There was great excitement yesterday when our new Christmas tree (kindly donated by Asda) was taken out of the box and erected in the hall. As you can see from the photo below, it’s absolutely fantastic!… all nine feet of it! Primary 4-7 had a concert rehearsal yesterday afternoon (at which their singing was, quite simply, out of this world!!!) and we put out the main lights during ‘Silent Night’ to help us get into the Christmas spirit. It worked!

SEE YOU ALL AT THE CHRISTMAS FAYRE TOMORROW MORNING. DOORS OPEN AT 10.00AM.
