It’s our last week in school, before the Christmas holidays! We have the Primary 1- Primary 3 Nativity play on this afternoon. The children have been working hard on their lines, singing and actions. I know that this will be a huge hit with all of our parents and carers. Please ensure that you bring your tickets along and place buggies outside of the hall, this is due to fire regulations and subsequently, everyone’s safety. Thank you for your support with this matter. We will, as always, sell raffle tickets before the show and your support would be very much appreciated.

The ‘Faith in Action’ group hosted a cake sale and ‘wear Christmas accessories ‘ day on Friday in order to raise money for Missio.This was very well supported and we had queues of children taking part. Thank you boys and girls. I will keep you up to date with the final figure of monies raised through this event.

As you know, we have wonderful singers in St Bart’s and news of this has obviously travelled. Mark and Lucy Millar asked our senior pupils to sing Christmas carols for the pensioners of Coatbridge on Sunday at St Bartholomew’s church hall. Mrs MacFarlane very kindly, led the children in their singing and I know that their talent was very much appreciated. Thank you.
