Our boys and girls continue to work hard and are immersed in so many wonderful experiences. Last week, we attended The Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow to enjoy the Pantomime, ‘Jock and The Beanstalk’. It was fabulous. A huge thank you again to Mark and Lucy Millar for their generosity in supporting this event. Our Christmas Concert and Nativity play was a huge success on Tuesday, and the children excelled themselves! Some of our P6 and P7 children enjoyed an evening at The Mint in Coatbridge and received fabulous gifts from Santa. What a brilliant evening. Some photographs are attached.

The week ahead is slightly less busy with parties for Primary 5- 7 and a whole school mass on Wednesday morning for all our wonderful pupils and staff to receive a Christmas blessing.

Remember that school closes at 2.30pm on Thursday. All staff at St Bartholomew’s wish our school community a happy and Holy Christmas. Please enjoy this special time with family and friends.
