May Day Holiday/75th anniversary of VE Day Holiday
2020-05-08
The May Day holiday in 2020 has been changed from Monday 4 to Friday 8 May 2020 to allow commemoration of the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
To minimise disruption to learning and teaching and to family life, it has also been decided to move the In Service Day from Tuesday 5 to Thursday 7 May, 2020. The In Service Day will therefore remain adjacent to the May Day holiday.
What is VE day?

Dear Parent/Carer
Nursery Induction Parents Meeting – Tuesday 7 January 2020
We are delighted that you have chosen to enrol ___________ at Hanover Street School Nursery and look forward to welcoming both you and your child during January/February 2020.
As part of the induction process, we would like to invite you to the above meeting.
This meeting, which is for parents only (it will be boring for little ones!), will be on Tuesday 7 January 2020 at 2.00pm in the school’s dining room.
We will meet initially in the dining room, where you will learn a little about our school nursery and complete some forms to let us know about your child’s needs, interests and abilities. We will then take the opportunity to visit the nursery, meet the staff, ask/answer questions and learn more about visiting and starting nursery with your child.
As part of the visit, you will receive a small pack of information. This will tell you about the nursery day, the curriculum, starting dates and times.
We hope you will be able to attend and look forward to seeing you. Please contact the school on 01224 569880 or myself on gforbes@aberdeencity.gov.uk either to confirm your attendance, or, if you are unable to attend, so that alternative arrangements may be made, if possible.
Until then, you can view the “Beginning Nursery: Information for Parents 2019-20” on our website, on the “Nursery Policies” page: hanover.aberdeen.sch.uk and do please contact myself at the school if you have any questions or would like a short visit before the Christmas Holidays.
Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and I look forward to getting to know you all in 2020!

Yours sincerely
Gillian Forbes
Depute Head Teacher

Dear Parent/Carer

P1 Literacy Workshop

We would like to invite you to attend a Primary 1 curricular workshop to be held in the school’s dining room on Thursday 3 October 2019 at 2.30pm.

The purpose of the workshop is to inform parents what the children learn in Primary 1 and how. The focus will be on developing literacy skills, including listening and talking, reading and writing.

The children will join us at 3.15pm for home time. We look forward to seeing you there.

Yours sincerely
