Hi everyone!

We hope you are all looking forward to the Leavers Assembly which is on Monday 29th June at 2pm.
The children all know what they are doing in the show but in case they forget...
Some children have to wear their coloured PE tops with black shorts/ trousers.
Some are wearing a plain black t shirt and black shorts/ trousers.
They should know what they are doing-  If in doubt please just send them in with it all!

Can I please remind you that all school PE tops need to be returned to the school on Tuesday.
If you have any reading books belonging to the school please return them asap.

Running through next week.
Monday- Leavers Assembly- see above for what to wear.
Tuesday -party day- can come in with party clothes on or they can bring them in to change.
Wednesday.  Normal school clothes but all children need to have on a white t-shirt or Polo Shirt for the colour run.  They will get covered in paint so maybe pair up with older shorts/ Shoes!
Wednesday night - sensational supper- 5pm- 6pm Wear what they like.
Thursday- Shirt signing- either wear it to get signed or have it for people to sign.  Can be their colour run top if they want.
and then breathe!

⚽ Sporting and World Cup Celebrations at Rattray ⚽

On the back of a fantastic Scotland World Cup Victory in the very early hours of Sunday morning zzzzzz
We are looking forward to a fun-filled week of sporting and World Cup celebrations across the school!

Obviously our first one will focus on the Scotland game!

Thursday 18^th June – We will be visited by CeCE entertainment for a world cup themed disco/karoke. Children can come to school wearing national colours, not club football strips

Friday 19^th June – World Cup Festival

In preparation for Scotland’s next big game against Morrocco
On Friday afternoon, we will be holding a special World Cup Festival.
Children will take part in a range of activities alongside our own football world cup, including:

• Face painting
• Hot dogs and ice poles
• World Cup craft tables
• Chill zone (with music and headphones)
• Photo zone
• Tattoo station
• Karaoke
• “Beat the Goalie” challenge

We will also be running a mini tournament throughout the day, building up to our grand finals in the afternoon.
The festival will take place outdoors in the playground (weather permitting). If the weather is poor, activities will move indoors and classes will be timetabled to visit.
Each child will receive a festival wristband to access the activities.

What to wear: Children are encouraged to come dressed in national football colours again on Friday.

We’re really looking forward to a fantastic week and celebrating together — Go Scotland!

School BBQ - Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’re really sorry to share that, due to the forecasted weather in Rattray around lunchtime, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel today’s school barbecue.

We appreciate this is very short notice and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We did consider moving things indoors, however with nearly 120 lunches ordered - and expecting at least as many adults again to come and eat with their children - we simply don’t have the space to accommodate everyone comfortably and safely inside.

A full refund will be arranged for all parents who had ordered a meal.
We’re hugely disappointed, particularly as this is the first time we’ve ever had to cancel our summer barbecue. If only we had organised it for last week when the weather was so lovely!
The good news is that our open afternoons will still go ahead as planned:

• Nursery: 12.00 noon
• School: 2.15pm

Thank you very much for your understanding, we really appreciate your support.
Kind regards,

Joanna Robertson
Head Teacher
Rattray Primary School and Early Childhood Centre

May Newsletter

Please find attached our latest school newsletter.

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Rattray has been chosen as a stop on Nick Morgan’s “No Scotland No Party” World Cup Tour, with a special performance scheduled at the school on Thursday 21st May. All pupils, along with nursery pre-schoolers, are warmly invited to join us for an afternoon filled with music, singing, and the creation of wonderful memories. In the spirit of celebration, we encourage everyone to come dressed in their national colours, tartan, or national football or sporting tops and kits from any country—however, we kindly ask that club football strips are avoided. If you have any Scotland flags or bunting that could be lent to help brighten up the event, your contributions would be most welcome.

Additionally, please note an urgent update regarding sports day. Due to a scheduling conflict, sports day will now take place on Wednesday 17^th June instead of the previously advertised date. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility and look forward to seeing you on the afternoon of the 17^th at Davie Park.
