PTA AGM Meeting

PTA AGM – Tuesday 27th September, 6.30pm-8pm, school staff room

All parents/carers are invited to come along to support the PTA, elect the office bearers for 2016/2017 & share ideas for fundraising/social events for this school year.

The PTA gets parents/carers together for social events and to raise much-needed funds for our school to buy things for all our children e.g. iPads for every classroom, books, craft supplies, First Aid training for kids, gym equipment, p1 blue bags, buses for class trips, playground equipment, etc …….

We are always looking for new ideas & extra help to organise events. A little bit of help from lots of people can do great things so please come along &/or offer your time!

If you are unable to come to the meeting but would like to help &/or have ideas, please contact our Chairperson, Angie Nicol via the the Ferryhill School Parent Forum Facebook page, 07776 292344 or angelanicol@rocketmail.com

Thanks for your support of our school!

 

Aberdeen Play Forum – October Programme

“This year Aberdeen Play Forum is running a Summer Programme from the 10th to the 21st of October. The sessions are completely free and open to everyone. Please find the attached flyer and feel free to circulate.
 
Aberdeen Play Forum provides loose parts play in parks throughout Aberdeen City. Loose Parts are materials which children can move, adapt, control, change and manipulate in their play. Loose parts play offers children high levels of creativity and choice. The materials can be whatever the child wants them to be – the possibilities are endless. There are no set instructions with loose parts – children have to use their imagination, take control and lead their own play. With a little imagination they can be transformed into almost anything… Tarpaulins turn into dens, crates and tyres could be a car or a bus, pipes for water play and lots more!  The sessions are not structured, and staff allow children to take lead.  Staff will follow children’s play cues, and join in with play where necessary.”

Ferryhill Multi-Cultural Day

United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child 

Article 30 – Children have the right to learn about and practice their own culture…

On Friday 10th June pupils enjoyed  coming to school dressed up in costumes from their countries.  We held a special Assembly where the Primary 3 to 5 Highland Dance class performed some of the dances they had learned over the last few months.  Pupils from every stage were able to share with the rest of the school some interesting facts about their countries.
