Christmas Performance

21/12/2022

The pupils held a Christmas prayer service and performance of the musical Hosanna Rock in Staghall church on Tuesday evening. Family members gathered, in eager anticipation of the first public performance given by the pupils since the pandemic. The traditional story of the First Christmas was recounted through prayer, and song. It was a heart warming and entertaining performance which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.  The evening continued back at the school where the Parents' Association provided refreshments and held a Christmas raffle. There was lots of excitement as the lucky prize winners were announced.  An amazing evening concluded with a visit from a very special guest who had come all the way from the North Pole with presents for the girls and boys to reward them for their hard work and kindness towards each other during the year.

Advent Prayer Service Week 1

On Monday 28th  November we came together to pray as a school community in the spirit of Advent. Advent is a time of waiting. We wait for the birth of Jesus, who came to show us God the Father’s love and to free us from sin, so that we could be with him together forever. We wait for him to be born again in our hearts, our classrooms, our homes, our parish community, and in the whole world. We lit the first purple candle on our Advent wreath. Thank you to the children who read and for the parents that attended our Week 1 Advent Prayer Service.

On Monday 5th December we celebrated the second week of Advent. This week we meet one of the great figures of the season – John the Baptist.  He tells us we must prepare for the coming of Jesus our King by changing our lives and turning our hearts back to God.  He reminds us to prepare for the coming of our Saviour.  We lit the second purple candle on our Advent wreath. Thank you to the Middle room for their beautiful reading and singing and to all the parents who attended. 

Advent Prayer Service Week 3

Otherwise known as the Shepherd Candle, this third candle of Advent reflects the joy that comes through Jesus’ arrival, and through the salvation he has gifted us. We celebrated  this weeks Advent Prayer Service on Monday 12th December. We lit the pink candle on our Advent wreath. Thank you to everyone who attended. 

Advent Prayer Service Week 4

The Fourth Advent Candle represents Love.  God showed his love amongst us as he sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him.  

Thank you to all the children over the past few weeks who participated in the Advent Prayer Services and for the Parents/ Grandparents who attended.

The festive season got off to a great start in Greaghrahan N.S. with a Christmas Story and Movie night. The children from the Senior classes did a fantastic job reading favourite Christmas stories to the younger children.  Later everyone watched a Christmas movie and were treated to hot chocolate, a cookie and treat. A massive thank you to the Parents Association for decorating the classroom to set the scene and for providing refreshments for the adults and children. Everyone agreed that it was a truly magical evening!!
