Playground Fun with P4/5 Buddies: 13th, 17th & 21st June

Children from Hanover Nursery, and new pupils from other nurseries, are invited to join us for our ‘Come and Play’ sessions throughout June.

The children will have the chance to play (hopefully outside!) and get to know each other for P1. They will meet with their future buddy from Primary 4 or 5 (next year’s primary 5 & 6); parents are encouraged to attend, though this is not necessary.

You are welcome to come along on:
Monday 13 June, Friday 17 June and/or Tuesday 21 June
On each of the above days, there will be a session at:
9.00 – 9.45am, in the morning,
or 1.30 – 2.15pm in the afternoon.

You are welcome to come along to as many sessions as you like. Again, you can sign up to these sessions at the first meeting.

Sports Day Update
2016-06-16 09:00 - 12:00 | Aberdeen Sports Village, AB24 5RU, United Kingdom
Dear Parents/Carers
Sports Day Thursday 16 June 2016 – Aberdeen Sports Village
** Update – It looks very likely that we will now hold the Sports Day inside on the indoor track **
Arrangements are still mostly the same:
Time at Sports Village: 9.45 – 11.30am.
Spectating: Now from the indoor gallery instead of the outdoor stadium.
Photographs: Parents will be permitted to take photographs, however we politely request that you remain within the gallery area and leave the children, staff and volunteers on the track. This will really help with safety and security arrangements. If you have any objections to your child being included in photos please contact the school office.
All children should come to school dressed for sports day, with warm comfortable clothes on top of their gym kit (including waterproof jacket).
Water and fruit will be provided.
P4 – 7 will walk there and back (please dress appropriately!) and P1 – 3 pupils will be transported by coach. We expect to be back in school by 12 noon – our normal lunch arrangements will apply.
** If the weather is unsuitable for P4-P7 to walk we will transport them via extra shuttle runs on the coach. **
Yours sincerely
Peter Gibb
Head Teacher (Acting)
