P5 Celtic Party:
Each year, Celtic FC Foundation operate a Christmas Appeal to honour the charitable heritage of the football club. One of the elements involves them hosting a Christmas Party for P5 children in the Kerrydale Suite at Celtic Park.
I am delighted that this year our P5 children have been invited to attend.
This year’s event will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, December 15.
Christmas Extravaganza
This year our show is: “CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE AGES”.
As is tradition, our Christmas show will involve all the children.
In order to spread the number of visitors evenly over the 2 days and to ensure we follow Health & Safety Regulations, this year a ticket system will be put in place.
Entry Tickets will be limited to 2 per family.
Cost £1.50 each
PLEASE BE SEATED BY 9.45AM.

Raffle tickets will be on sale for a “Christmas Hamper” on each day to help with expenses for the show.
SECURITY & HEALTH & SAFETY of CHILDREN
Please wrap up warmly as although we aim to start @ 10am there could be a delay!
As you know, children need to be fully dressed in costume, make-up etc and as they are both nervous and anxious on the big day, this can take longer than anticipated.
Could I also ask that where possible, prams be left at home? This is due to limited space in the assembly hall.
Thank you for your patience and co-operation.

Christmas Parties & Disco

As a special treat, this year we are hiring a PROFESSIONAL DISCO for the whole school on:
Monday 19th December between 10am and 3pm.
Cost per child - £1.00.
THE CHILDREN & STAFF ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS EVENT!
Dress: Casual/party clothes may be worn at the Disco … please insist your child wears a
jacket for warmth.
Thanks for your co-operation.
CITY of DANCE COMPETITION
Our “Hip Hop Hearts” took part in the above dance competition in
St Mungo’s Academy.
I am delighted to inform you that they were the outright winners!
Comments were received on their:
Style
Presentation
Choreography
Timing
CONGRATULATIONS to our Dancers!

‘DICK WHITTINGTON’
All primaries will attend the Christmas Panto in our own Assembly Hall.
As you know, going out to the panto is very expensive:
e.g. Average Ticket Price £11 + Cost Per Bus £250,
Therefore the panto will come to Sacred Heart Primary School.
Dick Whittington will arrive at Sacred Heart Primary School on:
Friday 16th December
The cost per child will be £5.00.
I thought you might like an early warning as Christmas can be an expensive time…… Please
encourage children to save up as we would be more than happy to accept weekly instalments.
CHRISTMAS CAROL CELEBRATION:
This year our Carol Mass will be held in Sacred Heart Church.
The details are as follows:-
Tuesday 20th December ‘16 @ 10.00am
ROAD SAFETY
WAS THAT YOU STOPPING ON THE ZIG-ZAGS THE OTHER DAY?
You probably thought that it was OK.
Well think again.
Even stopping for a short time makes it dangerous for children who want to cross the road.
It stops them from seeing approaching traffic and drivers from seeing them.
WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE?
Walk with your child to and from school and show them how to cross carefully.
If you really have to drive your child to and from school, park well away from the school, and NEVER again on the zig zags.
REMEMBER
Consider other children who are walking to and from school. Always look out for them.

The Staff of
Sacred Heart Primary School
Wish every family
The joy and happiness of Christmas
With peace, prosperity
and good health
in the New Year
