Phew! What a busy month! December at St. Lucy’s is always such fun.
We started this festive month with our annual Christmas Fayre. There were lots of stalls selling all manner of wonderful cakes and crafts and of course, lots of fun things for the children to do too. Not least Santa’s grotto which proved to be very popular. Thank you very much to all who attended and to local businesses for their kind donations for our raffle. The staff, pupils and Parent council are all very appreciative.
On the 13th and 14th December we put on a wonderful show for all the mums, dads, grannies and grandads to see. Our nursery and Primary 1 to 3’s “Nearly No Nativity” was a great success, despite its name. And the audience thoroughly enjoyed singing along and tapping their toes to the Christmas songs performed by Primary 4 and 5. Finally, our senior pupils from Primary 6 and 7 reminded us about the meaning of Christmas through their poignant tale of how a little boy shared his Christmas present with another child who was less fortunate, set during World War II. Thank you to all of you who managed to make it along on a very wintery evening and afternoon. The boys and girls of St. Lucy’s would also like to thank Mrs. Ewart for helping them learn their songs and for making it lots of fun.
At the end of that week we had another celebration. As with every year, we had a fun day to commemorate St. Lucy’s day, the patron saint of our school. This year we had a movie day, complete with cinema ticket and popcorn.
Finally, lots of fun was had at our Christmas parties. We danced with our friends and played party games before enjoying some party food. The Nursery, and Primary 1-3’s also got a present from a very special visitor. Can you guess who it was…? That’s right, it was none other than Santa Claus! We had lots of fun and were sure to tell Santa what was on our Christmas list.
Just like the song says, the boys and girls of St. Lucy’s truly wish it could be Christmas every day. The adults are not so sure though, they are all exhausted and need a Christmas holiday!
