Enjoy your discos tonight guys! Unfortunately I can’t make it as it is my son’s 8th birthday today and we already had tickets booked for something else.

Have fun.

I’ll be boogying with you all in spirit!!!

Wow!  Just back from watching P3b’s amazing performance of Eddie the Penguin Saves the World.  Great singing, great acting, great narration, Great costumes, great message.

Loved it!  Thanks for the invite.  I’m sure the parents will love it this afternoon.

Thanks to P1 for the fabulous, and very tasty, tartan biscuit that they made for me as part of their Burns afternoon.  They also tasted haggis, neeps and tatties and the P7s taught them how to do The Gay Gordons.  It was a great celebration. More pictures posted below (click on the thumbnail to enlarge).

Well done to Ethan Horn, P7a, who has qualified to represent both Hallside Primary and South Lanarkshire at the Scottish Schools Swimming Gala to be held in East Kilbride on March 7th.

He will be competing in the 50m breastsroke with a phenomenal qualifiying time of 43.56s (just a couple of tenths of a second behind the time in front of him).  We’re sure you can make up that gap. Check back here and we will let you know how he gets on.

GOOD LUCK ETHAN!!!

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you all in 2014!

Mr B

Definitely four 10s from the judges!

Well done to Rebecca McInroy in P6 who was a runner up in the Christmas Card design competition and her design features on the inside of the card sent out by our local MSP and MP.

Here she is pictured with them receiving her prize.

Well done to Kira Quinn, Paul Sime and Cameron Duncan on achieving their Black Belts in Karate this week.  A lot of hard work and determination has paid off.  Well done.

Hollybelle McLaughlin, in P7, has qualified for the World (yes you read correctly, WORLD!!!) Irish Dancing Finals.  Well done.  I’ll keep you posted here on how she does.

Well done and thank you to everybody who sang at the switch on of the Halfway Christmas Lights this afternoon. You sang well and were perfectly on time (unlike the lights!!!).  Hallside were the only school to perform on the day, and just before the big switch on too, what an honour!
