A huge well done to our Primary 6 pupils for their very impressive Christmas book launch in the library yesterday. It was a real treat reading your various Christmas stories, boys and girls, and to see them presented so beautifully in your hand-made books. Thank you to the parents and carers who came to support the children – it was really encouraging to see such a good turnout.

Father Doherty will be in St Bartholomew’s this morning to celebrate our end of term Mass. It’s been a busy time recently with concerts and parties, so this morning will be a very welcome opportunity for our school community to gather together to celebrate and reflect on the real meaning of Christmas.

Primary 6 and 7 have their party this afternoon. Have a great time, boys and girls (and don’t scoff too much food!).

Finally, please can I remind everyone that St Bartholomew’s will close at the slightly earlier time of 2.30pm tomorrow.
