Gym days are on Wednesdays with Mrs Armstrong where we are getting the practice in for Sports Day. We are also enjoying football with RADS coaches on Tuesday afternoons. Please ensure your child has their gym kit with them on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We have already enjoyed an Easter Hunt in the sun and a Fun Run at Seaton Park.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-10329 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=10338'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20231-300x224.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20231-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20231.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10338'>\n\t\t\t\tFun Run\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=10339'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20341-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20341-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20341-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20341.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10339'>\n\t\t\t\tSearching for clues \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=10340'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20171-300x224.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-10340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20171-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20171.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-10340'>\n\t\t\t\tFun in Seaton Park\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=10341'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20161-224x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20161-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20161.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reminders\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please also ensure your child is bringing their book bag to school everyday along with their school reading books and reading record.
