Nursery Sale

Last Friday some of our nursery parents organised a sale to raise money for nursery. Toys and books were donated and children from nursery to primary 3 were able to come and buy some of the items. There a few items left which will be for sale soon. We would like to thank our nursery parents for organising and giving up their time to run this sale.

Grounds for Learning

The whole school, from nursery to primary 7 have recently taken part in outdoor sessions with Steve Moizer from Grounds for Learning and the Aberdeen Play Rangers. During these sessions the children learned how to handle equipment safely and talked about risk, and how to manage it.
The loose play in the playground has been going really well with both children and staff enjoying it.
We hope to invite the parents in soon for a play session during lunchtime.

Rotary Club Quiz

Last week Katie, Jordan, Ciara and Olivia, in primary 7 represented Quarryhill at the Rotary Club quiz heats. The girls had to answer ten rounds of general knowledge questions and compete against 8 other schools. Not only did the girls represent themselves fantastically well but they also won the quiz with an amazing score of 50/60! They will now represent Quarryhill at the regional finals in May!
Well done girls, we are so proud of you all!

Champions!

Jobs Fair

Today Quarryhill held a jobs fair for our P6 & P7 pupils. A wide range of jobs were represented at the fair and the children had the opportunity to speak to people from 12 different occupations including a nurse, special constable, offshore worker, HR manager, master mariner, sales and marketing, teacher and engineer. All the children that attended enjoyed the event and gained a lot of knowledge into different jobs. We would like to thank all the people who came to speak to the children.
