The Parent Council meets today at 6pm. However, there’ll be no sitting round a table this evening – it will be all hands on deck to get the hall decorated for Halloween. Many thanks to everyone for giving of your time to get the hall looking SPOOKTACULAR for the children’s Halloween events!

As mentioned on the leaflet that went home last week, the boys and girls are invited to wear their Halloween costume on Thursday afternoon. They can either pop home to get changed at lunchtime or get ready once they’re back in class at 1pm. We’ll then have a short Halloween parade to showcase all the costumes, with a small prize for the best costume in each class. The children will then head off to their own individual classrooms for some Halloween activities.

The Halloween discos are this Friday evening. The P1-3 disco runs from 6.00-7.00pm and the P4-7 disco from 7.15-8.15pm. Tickets are available from the office, priced £1.50.

Friday is All Saints Day and our whole school community will be attending the 10.00am Mass at St Bartholomew’s Church. Light rain is forecast, so please ensure that your child has a suitable jacket for the 15 minute walk to church.

Finally, our first ‘Tea with Mr Young’ was an absolute pleasure yesterday afternoon. All seven children who were awarded a Pupil of the Week certificate last week popped along to my office for tea/juice, a biscuit and a blether. It was great to reward and give quality time to these seven children who worked so hard in class last week. I wonder who will be coming to tea this Friday??!!
