Nativity Story
Junior and Senior Infants will be taking part in ‘A Wriggly Nativity’ this Thursday 13that 12 noon in the school.
Tin Whistle
Both groups will be on Thursdays until after Christmas because they are practising for their Christmas concert tomorrow week (18th) at 1:30 p.m. in the school. All welcome.
School Calendar
Will soon be on sale at the school office and Centra, price €8. This is a nice keepsake and looking back at previous calendars it is interesting to note how much the children have changed over the years.
No Presents Needed
While teachers like to receive presents at Christmas and children like to give them there is absolutely no need and no one should feel under any pressure in this regard. Working that little bit better in school would be a great present though, a gift that would keep on giving not only to the receiver but also to the giver! As has been the custom in recent years we also ask children to refrain from giving cards to classmates as the volume of cards and envelopes generated is extraordinary. They may give one to their ‘Advent Friend’ under the guidance of the class teacher.
Reminder: Christmas Carol Service
Pupils from 1st– 6thClasses will be taking part in a Carol Service in Ballylinan Church tomorrow night (Tuesday 11th) and on Wednesday night. Please note:
- The service will begin at 7:30 and should finish a little after 8 p.m.
- Pupils are to wear proper school uniform on the night. To make sure that uniforms are clean and ready, pupils may wear tracksuits today, Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Each family will be issued with 3 tickets @ €3 per ticket. These are available from class teachers. Please do not request tickets from the office.
- Seating on the night will be first come, first served.
- As children enter the church with you, please remove and hold on to their coats (if worn). This will make it easier for them to move to and from the altar.
Thank you for your support as always.
