Our Primary one pupils put on an excellent nativity called It’s a Party. The Primary 2 pupils sang in the choir to accompany the play on stage.  Parents and pupils who watched were amazed at how talented our young pupils are . Many commented on the super loud voices of the cast.

Hibernian Football Club brought the Scottish Cup to Longstone to show to all the pupils.  They had a very important message for pupils……Persevere, don’t give up and great things might happen.

Pupils had a chance to have photos taken with The Scottish Cup and these can be seen on the Hibs Website.  Click here to view them
