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

‪P7 were on a visit of the Robertson Homes site in Viewpark today. Thanks very much to Stephen and Gillian‬.

Panto day for P4-7!!!!! Remember to bring a packed lunch and your snack for the show. Children going to the panto should not bring school bags today, so we can dismiss them easily from the car park when the buses arrive back.

We should be back at school for approximately 4.15pm ( depending on traffic) and children MUST be collected from school at this time.

It’s just about panto time (oh yes it is!!!) Our P4-7 pupil will be going this Friday (25th November) and the children in P1-3 will be going on Tuesday (29th November).

On both days children will be having an early lunch. Children can either bring in a packed lunch, or order a Snack to Go from the dinner hall. These will need to be ordered the day before, so P4-7 pupils need to be ordered tomorrow.

Children will not be returning to school until approximately 4.15pm. All pupils MUST be collected from the school, and will not be allowed to walk home alone.

Parents’ night appointments should have gone out today. Check your child’s bag.

School photos today and tomorrow! Don’t forget your smiles!!!! 😃📸😃

A few reminders for this week.

Today (Monday) P7 will attend Mass in St Columba’s. This is a Diocesan Mass to remember all those clergy members who have passed away. We will remember our Canon in a special way today.

Wednesday/Thursday: Our photographer will be in to take individual and family photographs.

Friday: Our P5 pupils will present their assembly. All parents/carers/family members welcome.

This will also be the last week for all after school clubs, except Drama.

A busy week ahead, that’s for sure!

We are on Week 1 for dinners.

Another wee reminder about our panto in November. All of the children in the school will be attending the Motherwell Civic (P4-7 on the 25th November, P1-3 on the 29th November) to see Peter Pan.

The cost of the panto has been subsidised by our Parent Council who are paying for buses, but we are asking for £9 from each child to cover the rest.

If your child has not paid for this trip, could you please do so as soon as possible. Thanks for your continued support.

Due to stories and rumours circulating about clowns, some of the children in the school have become quite upset and distressed. We are therefore asking for your support in this matter when considering Hallowe’en costumes for the parade on Friday. We would ask that children do not wear clown costumes to avoid distressing other children.

Couple of reminders for this week.

Thursday – We will celebrate our Patronal Feast mass in the school hall at 11am. All are welcome to join us to celebrate this special occasion in our school’s year.

Friday – We will have our Fun Day. This will be a non-uniform day, and will cost £1. There will also be:
– Beat the Goalie (50p for 3 shots)
– Dancing Like a Star! (50p for a session of dance)
– Children’s tombola and raffles (20p per ticket)

In the afternoon, it will be the return of our famous John Paul’s Got Talent. Each class will have one act (except P1 who will all perform) Tickets for this are £1 and due to fire regulations this is restricted to one per family.

We are on a Week One menu this week. Here’s what’s available.
