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

Just a reminder that our Christmas parties take place next week. Children can bring their party clothes to school or can go home and get changed. If children are going home they can be collected from school from 12.15pm onwards and should be back for 1.20pm.

Party dates are as follows:

Monday 14th – P6 and P7
Tuesday 15th – P4 and P5
Wednesday 16th – P2 and P3
Thursday 17th – P1

Can I also remind you that due to the fact that we didn’t get our grant from
Cash for Kids, we are asking each child to pay £1 towards the cost of their party.

We’ve got a busy week ahead of us again this week!!!

On Tuesday we will all get to watch the dress rehearsal of our Nursery and P1-3 nativity plays as well as having our Christmas lunch in school. Tuesday is also our Christmas jumper day. Children can wear something festive to school if they wish.

On Wednesday and Thursday our wonderful Nursery and P1-3s will have their performances of their play. There are still tickets available from the office for both shows priced at £3 each.

On Friday our P6 and P7 pupils will be heading off to the Motherwell Civic for the Panto!!!

Phew, what a busy week indeed!!

Tickets for our Nursery and P1-3 Christmas show are now on general sale. Tickets are available from the office and cost £3.

Just a reminder for all parents/carers of P1-3 pupils that they will be going to the Motherwell Civic for their panto on Tuesday 1st December. All children will be bringing home a Snack to Go form. If your child requires a Snack to Go for lunch on Tuesday then the form must be completed and returned to school on Monday. There will be no other option for lunch that day. Pupils should bring a packed lunch if not ordering a Snack to Go.

Please also note that the bus will return to school at approximately 4.00pm. Please make arrangements to have your child collected from school at this time.

You should all have received a newsletter today explaining all the events between now and Christmas.

This is a wee bit of additional info which wasn’t included.

On the 8th December children may wear a Christmas item i.e Christmas jumper, badge, headband, tinsel. This is to add to the fun of Christmas lunch day and is by no means compulsory.

There will be a flyer distributed with this info later in the week, but please share with anyone who might be interested.

Just a reminder to parents/carers of our P6 and P7 pupils that our Confirmation meeting will take place tomorrow night at 7pm.

I am delighted to welcome you all to our new website. This is a fantastic way to keep us all in touch and I look forward to keeping you up-dated with all events in St JPII.

Thanks to our P5 pupils and their teachers for the fantastic Scottish Assembly. All pupils participated and gave the whole school and parents a very interesting and entertaining  history lesson in a short space of time.

Welcome to our new look school website! This site is a bit more interactive, and the advantage of our new set up is that you, our parents and carers, can comment easily on what we post, and you can keep up to date with the latest information.

All of the information which was on our old site is still here, and is hopefully just as easy to find.
