St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class, Viewpark

Just a wee reminder that both tomorrow and Tuesday are Christmas jumper days. Children can add a Christmas jumper or something festive to their uniforms if they wish.

Also a reminder that Tuesday is the end of term. School closes at 2.20/2.30 depending on your child’s finishing time.

We had a special visitor today – and a strange sight over the school!!!

Santa also left a special video message for us all!! See if you can agree with the teachers he thinks may be edging towards the naughty list!!

We have been asked to participate in a project called “Our Glen: Owning our Future.” Project managers have asked us to carry out an investigation into how we use the Glen and how we would like it to be used in the future.

Your child will be issued with a booklet on Friday 18th December. For any not in school who wish to participate, a digital copy will be available on their class Teams page. Over the Christmas holidays we would lke our families to visit the Glen and complete the booklet.

All completed booklets should be returned to school by Friday 8th January 2021 to allow them to be quarantined before being collected by a member of the project.

Many thanks for your support in this project.

Please note the changes to our previous advertisement…

Santa will visit P1 on Friday 18th December (and not Monday 21st as previously advertised).  Our P1 children receive a special gift from Santa.

Our Virtual Message from Santa will be broadcast to all children before the end of this week (and not on 21st as previously advertised).  Santa has delivered a gift for each child too.

We realise that a number of our families have taken the decision to not send their child(ren) to school after this coming Friday and we did not want the children to miss out!

Week three menu for lunches this week.
Please remember that Thursday of this week is our Christmas lunch. If your child hasn’t returned an order form they will need to bring a packed lunch with them.

Christmas will look a lot different to previous years both at home and in school.  However, we have put some thought into how to make things as fun and ‘Christmassy’ as possible.  Please see the dates and times below for some of the activities we have arranged for the next two weeks in school.

Week 2 menu this week for lunches!

Week three menu for lunches this week.

Another wee menu change for tomorrow. Due to supply issues there will be no Steak Pie. The red option will be Hot Dog instead.

The local council elections due to take place on Thursday 19th have now been cancelled. School is therefore OPEN AS NORMAL on Thursday.
