Festive Friday
We had such a lovely day as a school community today with lots of Christmas Spirit.
Thank you to everyone for making the effort with their fabulous Christmas Jumpers, Headbands, Bobbers, Tinsel, Glasses and Hats – we had such fun sharing these together.
We also enjoyed a special message from Santa himself at assembly – you can watch by clicking on the link below. Santa was pleased to confirm that we are all on the nice list here at St David’s and left us some sweet treats to take home and enjoy.
Our pupils also brought home a Home Shared Learning bag with a few things to enjoy at home including some hot chocolate, a Christmas craft and a letter to send off to Santa. We would usually enjoy activities like this at our Christmas family afternoon so we hope that this bag can bring a bit of the magic home.
Our Christmas lunch was another exciting adventure today as we headed down to the lunch hall for this first time for months. Everyone enjoyed the table service and some pupils even commented that it was the best restaurant in town!
Finally our classes all enjoyed the magic of the theatre in their own classrooms watching our Panto or Funbox Christmas Special.

Rock the Baby – Sneak Peak
We are delighted to share a ‘sneak peak’ of our Primary 1 pupils who have been working hard with Miss Crawford, Mrs Lamont and Miss Munro to prepare this year’s nativity show.
Our current Primary 7 pupils are very familiar with the show as they performed this when they were P1 pupils themselves. They have the very important role of narrating the show this year.
The show will be a bit different this year but we can’t wait to share it with you as soon as our Christmas Elves are finished in the editing room.

Just a reminder of some of the special events we have in store for our pupils this week. We’re looking forward to enjoying the Christmas Spirit in our school community.
Advent – Week 2
Thank you again to Fr Paul Brady for creating another special video for our parish and school community. We have been learning about Advent and preparing for the special Christmas season in school and at our weekly virtual assembly.
In this week’s video, Fr Paul talks to us about the significance of the second candle on the Advent wreath as we join together to light this.

Advent
As we enter the special season of advent, our school chaplain, Fr Paul Brady, is helping us to celebrate our school value of Faith by guiding us through the blessing of the Advent Wreath and lighting the first candle.
This will be a big focus of our learning in R.E this week and we will use Fr Paul’s video to support us but we also wanted to share it with our wider school community as we can’t celebrate in the usual way.
