To celebrate Scotland’s opening match at the weekend we are starting off the day with a BEAT THE GOALIE entrance to the ECC 🙂

Alana, Carrie and Sherrie will be in the soft surface waiting for confident penalty takers to step up to the mark and do their keyworker group proud 🙂 – parents included as always.

Donations are welcome – please pop any you would like to leave in our bucket – all donations will go towards our end of term celebrations.

There will also be a chance to pick a hidden world cup team with the winner being announced as soon as it has been filled so bring along some small change if you would like to take part and be in with the chance of winning some cash yourself.

Please note – due to this event we are reversing our entry/exit doors for the day. Please ENTER THE DOOR YOU WOULD USUALLY GO OUT, AND LEAVE VIA THE MAIN DOOR on Friday. 

Our lunch menu change for Friday can be found below.

Reminder – could we ask the parents who are able to help walk the children up to Sports Day be at the ECC for 1.40pm. Also, due to some children requiring support during events like these, if you see that your child may be struggling a little emotionally please feel free to come around to where the children and staff are positioned to support them.

LET’S GO SCOTLAND !!!

In celebration of Scotland qualifying for the World Cup 2026, there will be a change of menu on Friday 12th June.
