P1 Christmas Show

Dear Families,

On Monday, Primary 1 will begin learning about, practising, and performing a musical play called The Sleepy Shepherd. The performance to families will be in the afternoon of Wednesday 10th December, at school.

We treasure the diversity of our school and understand that some families have strong connections to their faith.

I have uploaded the full script including song lyrics below.

If you have any queries at all, please share your thoughts and feelings with me so we can work in partnership to make this a successful performance for the pupils.

If you know of any reason your child will be absent on this day e.g. holiday, planned leave, please let me know! With our class being relatively small, everyone’s role will be key to the success of the show.

All costumes will be provided by the school as this is part of the pupil’s academic learning.

Warm wishes,

Miss Copeland

Snack

Pupils eat snack outside during breaktime. They need a snack every day including Friday.
Snack is ONE easy to eat item that will keep them going until lunch time e.g. 1 banana.

Water Bottle

Pupils should each bring a water bottle filled with water.
If you wish for your child to have a carton of milk, please contact the school office – sign up is through Parent Pay.

Waterproof Coat

Pupils should bring a waterproof coat every day. Please put it in their bag if they do not want to wear it to school. We play outside regardless of the rain!

Name labels

Please label all of your child’s belongings. Writing on labels with a permanent marker or biro is fine.

Toys and Jewellery

Please leave toys, jewellery and pencil cases at home. We have toys and craft supplies at school and these can often get mixed up, broken, or taken by accident.

Pupils whom wear earrings are allowed to wear studs to school. If a pupil needs to wear a religious item to school, this should be discussed with the class teacher, and removed during P.E.

Learning Journals

Primary 1 use Learning Journals to share images and news with parents and carers.

A new permissions form will be coming out to you soon. We hope for a seamless transition from your Nursery experience.
