As we all know Christmas is a very special time of year because it honors the birth of Jesus. At Christmas modern customs of the holiday include:
- Gift Giving
- Church Celebrations
- Decorations Such As: Tree, Lights, Miseltoe and More.
As we know The Nativity Scene is all about the Birth of Jesus. Alot of Churches have a manger, but they leave it empty until Christmas Day to reflect that Jesus had not been born yet. Alot of people put it on as a show like - Schools, Theatre Groups, Churches and more.
Father Christmas as we all know is Santa Claus. Every Christmas Eve he goes around the world in 1 night and delivers all the presents to the children and on Christmas Morning we get up and Santa Claus has been to our houses. Some people put out a Carrot and a Glass of Milk and a cookie so Santa can give His Reindeer the Carrot and the Glass of milk and the cookie to himslef.
I would just like to say to eveyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
On the 3rd of November the school took pupils who only took Drama and P.E in 2nd up to 6th year to go and see Mary Poppins in the Edinburgh Playhouse. It was really good I was sitting in STALLS, ROW U, SEAT 23 which is really good seats. It only cost £15 for a ticket. It was nothing like the Movie Version of Mary Poppins it was different. The costumes, songs, actors and sets were amazing! I would go and see it again if it comes back to Scotland. Here are some songs from the show. This is the London Cast recording.

Hi folks I know I have not been talking for a long time I have been really busy with school stuff. I would just like to say that I will be in a production of Cinderella And The Birkenstocks in January tickets cost £7 for Adult and £6 for Concession it is Big Bad Wolf’s 2nd production. Finally I have been offered a principle part for a show I will be playing a dance instructor called Floyd Harvey. The show has got a twist in it it is not like the Disney Movie Cinderella it is more modern and funny. It is at the Falkirk Town Hall on 20th to the 24th of January 2009. Here is a summary of what it is about.
“Who dances in glass slippers?” That’s what Cinderella thinks. This wacky modern adaptation of the classic tale has a twist where an impossible Cinderella terrorises her sweet stepmother and studious sisters. When the Prince announces he is having a ball they try to keep Cinderella home, not out of spite but for fear of embarrassment. Things take an interesting and hilarious turn when Paula ‘Abdulla’ turns up as her Fairy Godmother and with the help of Simon ‘Howell’ try to turn Cinderella into an elegant
young lady till the stroke of midnight.
Well, last week was my first week in 2nd year it was alright, as you know the first week back at school is always the worst. On the Tuesday when we started back it was the most worst day I have had in years going back to school. But lets look on the bright side I get to study my subjects which I’ve picked, so that is OK. After that day was over I was so happy. The rest of the week was better than Tuesday. On my timetable Thursday is my favourite. So i’m happy that the first week of school is over. I will write more posts about the exciting things that are happening at Larbert High School.
On Wednesday I went to Alton Towers with Fusion. We left at 5.00am in the morning and got their about 10.15am. We got in and went on The Spinball Whizzer first then we went on the extreme rides like - Air,Nemisis,Oblivion,Rita, Submission, Enterprise,Corkscrew and Ripsaw. They were really fun. Then we had lunch and went on the wet rides like The Water Rapids And The Flume, then we went on Hex it is a really odd rise becasue you feel like you are upside down but your are not it is just the walls that move. Then we went on Duel it is a ride were you go into a haunted house and your sit in a carrage and you go round the house and try to shoot ghosts and gouls, you get 100 points for every ghost ot gouls you shoot. Then we went home and stopped for dinner we got home about 12.00am in the morning. I hope i will be able to go again!!!!!
Well People It Is Almost Summer. Tomorrow we finish school for 7 weeks. At Larbert High School we go to Period 1 & 2.

All this week and last week I have been at my Dancing Displays! I have been performing in front of about 500 people. It has been great, they only last for 4 nights eack week. There have been lots of performances at the Falkirk Town Hall for the Dancing Displays there have been Linlithgow,Denny,Camelon,Larbert And Falkirk. It has been a very important show becasue it has been 50 years since Stenhouse School Of Dance was established in 1958 so it is Stenhouse’s Golden Anniversary. I have been in the Larbert And Falkirk Dancing Displays. At Larbert the type of dancing I was doing was Freestyle and dancing to the song ” Like It Like This ” it was great. I was the only boy in the Larbert Dancing Show. In the Falkirk Dancing Show the type of dancing was Tap I was dancing to the song from the sold movie Hairspray it was called “Nicest Kids In Town”. Tonight is the last performance for all of the shows. The dancing starts back after the school holidays. So that is a long wait. I will keep you updated about the last night.
