Cove Rangers- Free Admission Offer

Dear Parent/Guardian

In June 2008 Primary 3 and Primary 3C attended Cove Rangers’ Allan Park for a tour of the facilities. This was linked to a class topic on their local community.

The visit was organised and lead by Jim Rust who mentioned to the pupils he was keen for them to return with their parents as his guest to a Highland League match to support Cove Rangers as the current Highland League Champions.

Jim has been in contact and I am now in a position to offer you a fantastic invitation!

Your child is entitled to one free children’s ticket and one free adult ticket for

Cove Rangers v. Rothes on Saturday 4^th October 2008. Gates open at 2.40pm with the match starting at 3.00pm. Further tickets can be purchased at the gate.

This is a very generous offer from Jim Rust and Cove Rangers. In order to provide Jim with numbers requiring tickets, I would be grateful if you could complete the slip below and return it to me by Friday 26^th September 2008.

I hope to see you at the match!

To Parents of P4 Pupils

Dear Parents,

RECORDER TUITION FOR P4 PUPILS

Part of the 5-14 Guidelines for music, issued by the Scottish Office, states that at Level B it is appropriate to learn a musical instrument and Mrs. Brockley, music specialist, undertakes to teach recorder to all our P4 and P5 pupils.

As a result of this we ask parents to support this part of the curriculum by providing their child with a recorder.  These cost between £6 and £12 in shops but, by buying in bulk, school can buy them and sell to you for £5.

Some children may already have a recorder at home and Mrs. Brockley will be pleased to advise whether or not it is suitable.

Children will be asked to do some practising at home – a few minutes at a time, two or three times a week.

The majority of children enjoy this experience and they will have the opportunity to continue in a recorder group in future years.

Please complete and return the attached slip by 21^st January 2008.

Yours sincerely,

MORAG THOM

Head Teacher
