After Christmas we will be collecting old Christmas card to be recycled. Marks &Spencers will plant a tree for every 1000 cards recycled.
What a fabulous day we had today! We welcomed the senior citizens from our community into our school to entertain them, with our P1-4 show Angel Express, along with a cup of tea and a mince pie.
Each class created a table centre to decorate the tables and a wall display to match. The hall is looking very festive!.
Our P5-7 Senior Choir performed at the Evening Express Christmas Carol Concert last night. They were amazing and we are so proud of them. They sang 2 songs led by Mrs Sonia Scaife and accompanied on the piano by Anna from the Aberdeen Music School. The boys and girls represented the school impeccably. Well done everyone!
Here are photographs from the evening’s fun! Santa even paid them a visit!
See the video of one of our songs ‘This is Why We Sing’. Click here to watch.
We made it onto the front page of the Evening Express tonight too!
We are very proud and exceptionally excited to announce that we were awarded our very first green flag from Eco Schools Scotland. It took a lot of hard work but it was worth it to see the excired looks on the committee’s faces (AND Mrs Webb’s!)
We are currently organising a flag pole for the front of the school to proudly display our flag.
A huge thank you to Miss Roberts (P1 teacher), Mrs Rhodie (PSA), Jane Dickson (parent) and of course all of the children who have been members of the ECO committee over the past few years. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Fernielea are having a Spotacular Day on Thursday 17th November to raise money for Children in Need.

This year we would like to support Homestart in their fantastic Advent Book initiative.
Homestart work with families across Aberdeen and this Christmas they aim to give each family they work with, 24 books, 1 to open each day leading up to Christmas. So, we are looking for donations of
books in excellent condition which are suitable for 0-3 years only and wrapping paper
The wrapping paper is required so the books can be wrapped individually by Homestart according to the family they are being donated to.
All donations should be dropped off at Fernielea School from
Monday 31st October
and they will be delivered to Homestart on Friday 4 November.
Early Learning and Childcare Expansion Consultation – Survey Monkey Questionnaire
Aberdeen City Council is carrying out a statutory consultation exercise linked to the Scottish Government’s programme for the expansion of early learning and childcare. The Government’s intention is to expand the offer of funded early learning and childcare to 1140 hours per annum for some two year olds and all three and four year olds, whose parents want such a service by 2020.
It is important that we gather information from parents, carers and potential future parents regarding how best services could be provided. A series of consultation events have been organised to consider the Scottish Government’s programme of expansion of early learning and childcare entitlement. A survey monkey questionnaire has also been launched to gather as many views as possible.
We have undertaken a strategic review of existing services and options related to the delivery of expanded provision have been identified. We would be extremely grateful if you complete the survey monkey questionnaire by clicking on the link below and give us your views on how best expanded services might be delivered in your area.

The survey will be open until Friday 28th October 2016.
Please ensure you only complete one survey and thank you very much for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
