World Cup Event 🫶🏽
Foundation Park
Friday 19th June (tomorrow)
3.30pm-6pm
For all family members 👇🏼🎉

This amazing space will be open in time for the summer holiday! Practice bike skills here in Dundee and then either use our lovely riverside bike bath or pop over to Arbroath to hire a bike for 99p and use their new bike paths 😁 And don't forget that Active Dundee has a £1 swim special this summer too. We'll be sharing any fun local area things to do. Let us know if you spot something we should share 🌟

Have you booked in yet? This lovely park is so close to Cleppie! Support the library, help keep this lovely space clean, and learn all about the birds in Baxter Park. You might even be able to pop in to the lovely cafe just near the playground. We were going to be there but unfortunately we have a long-standing commitment on the same day. But we will be able to enjoy the lovely litter-free grounds when we go to Baxter Park junior parkrun the following day. Thank you in advance for all the hard work that the Saturday volunteers will put in! You guys are absolute ⭐ ⭐️ 🌟 legends 😃

Are you good with a paint brush? Do you like a bit of DIY? Cleppie needs help with a bit of painting after school. Can you help out? If you can lend a hand or two, we need you! Please contact the school office to let them know that you can help. If you can't help this time, there are always events or projects that need extra hands, keep an eye on SeeSaw, the Cleppie newsletter, or here on your friendly Parent Partnership page. 😊 ⭐

Along the way you’ll find beaches, cafés, playparks, coastal views, old railway paths, nature trails and maybe even an ice cream or two!
