At this time of year Loirston School book a theatre company to entertain us with a pantomime.

There will be a performance of “Pinocchio” in the school hall on the morning of Wednesday 25^th November for pupils in Primaries 1 – 7.  To assist with the cost of this production we would ask each pupil to pay £1.  This should be handed to the class teacher by the morning of Friday 20^th November.

This year, our Primary 2’s and 3’s will be performing at the Evening Express Carol Concert.  This is a really important event and takes place in the Music Hall on the evening of Wednesday December 2^nd.

The public are able to attend this event and tickets will be on sale from Aberdeen Box Office.

 The children will be singing songs about their teddy bear and will wear pyjamas and slippers and will carry a teddy bear with them.
