Dear
Parents,
The Pre-school
has, as always, been a hive of activity since the
beginning of term and the amount and quality of
the activity has been as high as ever. The
outings to Scone Palace and recently to
Montcrieff House to visit the elderly have been
enjoyable and educational for all concerned. The
time spent outside playing has kept the children
healthy and active and while inside, their
projects have kept them interested and provided
marvellous displays for the walls. Many of you
remarked on how impressed you were at
Parents’ Night with the standard of what the
children have achieved and I would agree
wholeheartedly.

The
Christmas Concert version of the Wriggly
Nativity gave wonderful entertainment to
all present and the support from you for
that and the Junior Carol Service was
very much appreciated by us all. Seeing
young children so happy and comfortable
performing in public is a delight. As you
may know, we have an unannounced Care
Commission inspection in the New Year and
I am confident that when the inspectorate
meet the children they will know what a
fine service we provide.

I
would like to draw your attention to the
term dates for the coming year. In
particular the half-term dates for Spring
2009 which now give a full week’s
holiday. I hope that this will allow
those of you who wish to ski with your
family at that time the opportunity to do
so without missing school either then or
at the end of term. Equally, it will give
us all a decent break to recharge our
batteries as will the extra day added to
the Summer half-term 2008 and I hope that
this will not cause any inconvenience.
I
encourage you to visit www.schoolstrader.com
a
unique website for independent school
communities. Parents, staff, friends and
family can use it to advertise to each
other or search for items for sale (from
holiday homes and bikes, to pets and
musical instruments). It is useful,
simple and completely free. Once
registered, you can place ads or search
for items under specific categories.
Communication between buyers and sellers
is by email. Users may place ads on the
Craigclowan pages and on other local
independent school pages in our area. I
have enclosed a postcard with more
details. |
