Huge congratulations to one of our upper school pupils- he is now the proud owner of a black belt in Taekwondo! What a fabulous personal achievement. This is testament to the hard work and dedication that is necessary to achieve such a prestigious award. Very well done from all of your friends at St Bartholomew’s.
As you can imagine,this week is extremely busy with the many planned Christmas activities and events.
On Monday, our Primary 1 to Primary 3 children will be performing the Nativity on stage. Teachers and children have been working extremely hard to deliver an outstanding show and I can assure you that you are in for a treat. They sound fantastic! Doors open at 1.45pm for a sharp 2 O’Clock start. We look forward to welcoming you.
On Tuesday, Fr O’Kane will visit our school in order to hear confessions from our Primary 4 to Primary 7 children. This will help prepare our pupils spiritually for the birth of our Lord. Thank you Fr O’Kane. Sr Maria Goretti from the Innocents Society will also be visiting us in order to receive a layette for a baby in need of our support. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, it is much appreciated. In the afternoon, Primary 6 and Primary 7 children are having their Christmas party. Children come to school in uniform and are free to change at lunch time for their party in the afternoon. They will enjoy music, dancing and prizes. Children are encouraged to bring in snacks for the class party. Thank you for your help and support with this.
On Wednesday afternoon , our Primary 4 and Primary 5 children will enjoy their class Christmas party. Again, children are asked to come to school in uniform and then change at lunch time.
On Thursday afternoon; Primary 1, Primary 2 and Primary 3 will enjoy their class Christmas parties. A special visitor will be visiting our youngest pupils…The same routine applies as above for all other classes. Again, thank you for your help and support with this.
