Aberdeen City Council has asked us to highlight the following exciting events:

The First is the “Wee Jaunt” Aberdeen on Sunday 13^th September. This is a cycle event where we have created a 6 mile, on-road, traffic free loop which starts and finishes in Duthie Park, travelling via Tullos, Girdleness and Lighthouse and back alongside the River Dee. The loop is open from 8.30am to 11.30am and participants can do it as many times as they like in the time. Suitable for families and inexperienced and expert cyclists alike. To sign up and to find out more, go to  http://pedalforscotland.org/rides/the-wee-jaunt-aberdeen/ .For those too young to take on the main loop, a smaller loop is also available inside the park itself. The park will be playing to host to other events on the day including a climbing wall and the Getabout bike roadshow, where people can come and try some weird and wonderful bikes.

The second is “In town without my car day” on Sunday 20^th September. As part of European Mobility Week 2015, Aberdeen City Council will be taking part in “In town without my car day”. This will see Schoolhill (between Back Wynd and Blackfriars Street), Belmont street and Little Belmont street closed to traffic with the resulting space given over to a series of FREE activities to promote sustainable transport and to allow people to enjoy the traffic-free space. The attached gives more information of what is planned and activities include street dancing, giant street games, the Getabout bike roadshow, the eco driving simulator and A WATERSLIDE!!!! We are encouraging social media activity with the hashtag ‪#‎getabout

Lastly, we have attached a poster for Road Safety Week  Brake Road Safety Week

Thank you so much to all the parents and their family/friends who collected the Sainsbury’s Active Schools vouchers last term.  Over 14,500 vouchers were handed in and this has enabled the school to order a large amount of equipment including:   bean bags, hurdles, shuttlecocks, skipping ropes, volleyballs, hockey sticks & balls, tennis balls, cones, hoops, balls, and activity rings.

The equipment will arrive shortly this term and be great fun for the children to use.

This was a wonderful event held on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June in the school field.  The Friday evening was the adults tournament and involved 6 teams of school Dads.  For the first time ever there were also 2 teams of school mums who played a good game (after only 1 training session) and entertained the crowds!
On the Saturday morning it was the children’s tournament with the school teams from P2-P7 playing the year above & below them, the final game was P7’s vs the coaches.
The event was a huge success in so many ways and enjoyed by all involved!  Player fees for adult players and also donations from spectators & food/drink sales raised a total of £800 for the football team funds which is fantastic!
A huge thanks to all who helped organise and run these events!

The school football season will restart on Saturday 5th September.   All  teams (from P2-P7) have started training in the school field on a Tuesday or Thursday evening.  A list of the football coaches for  each year and their contact numbers can be found on the information noticeboard inside the school (corridor from nursery to the annex) and also on the noticeboard outside the school office.

Free taster session for the recorder – 6 to 9 year olds:   Thursday 3rd September.  Please follow the link below to find out more information about recorder lessons.
