Wednesday afternoon saw our whole school perform to a packed hall of parents and grandparents.  They were entertained by a thoroughly polished performance from our wonderfully talented Pr.1 and 2 pupils who performed their nativity Census Sums.  They were amazing.  Later our young musicians entertained followed by classes who sang a medley of carols and Christmas songs.  We hope everyone left feeling full of the festive spirit.  Our final performance takes place this evening.  Below is our slideshow of highlights from Wednesday afternoon.

Our Infant Nativity ‘Census Sums’ takes place tomorrow afternoon and Thursday evening.  Limited tickets remain available for the two performances.  Children from Pr. 1 and 2 have been notified by letter in regard of what to wear for their performances.  Pupils from Pr. 3 – 7 have been notified by their class teacher in regard of what to wear.  If in doubt, please send your child to school in their uniform and they can bring along their own clothes for the afternoon performance (Christmas jumpers, bright clothes).  We are looking forward to welcoming you to school over the next two days.  Hopefully you will be filled with the Christmas Spirit if it has not struck you yet!!
