HADDO EASTER EGG HUNT

HADDO COUNTRY PARK, TARVES

Sunday, 8th April 2012

10 am – 3 pm

The Rotary Club of Oldmeldrum have been organising this great family event for ten years.  Last year more than three thousand people enjoyed the entertainment and fun so we will expect to have a least the same amount of local and visiting families to turn out to enjoy themselves, and join in the search for the 1,500 wooden eggs which are hidden around the park and other events planned throughout the day.  There will be many opportunities for children to enjoy painting, face painting, rolling eggs, taking part in decorated egg competitions and generally having family fun. We will also be putting up the Shelterbox tent which so many of your pupils found so interesting this year.

The Rotary Club of Oldmeldrum is very pleased to have not only the support of Lord Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire Council, but also the many local volunteers who play a large part in ensuring that local and visiting families have a tremendous day out.

Thanking you in anticipation

Kindest Regards

Ray Walker, President

Revision to current homework procedures

Recently as some of you will be aware we have been using our text message facility to alert parents and carers to situations in English where homework is very overdue. This has been very effective in ensuring work, particularly that which is required for approaching SQA deadlines is submitted and appropriate support then given by class teachers.

We are extending this to all faculties with clear procedures to be followed in the hope that the impact will be similarly effective at this important time. The existing Homework Policy will be amended when we have had an opportunity to evaluate the success of and indeed any concerns with this additional step in keeping closely in touch with parents and carers.

Text Message Trial in English

The English department are currently trialling a system of using text messages to alert parents to overdue homework. 

Where a pupil has missed both the initial deadline, and the opportunity to resubmit homework on a date negotiated with their teacher, a text message will be sent to ask for the support of parents in ensuring that the homework is completed by a specified date.
As homework often focuses on the completion of coursework which contributes to the pupil’s final award, it is essential that pupils keep up-to-date and maintain a high standard of work.

We hope that this will keep parents up to speed more quickly than the current system of homework letters.

Obviously, due to the limited number of characters, a full explanation of the nature of the work will not be possible. 
Please contact the class teacher for further information if required.
