Our pupils had a great time across at St Machar Academy&#8217;s playing fields participating in lots of activities linked to football.

The ladies were quite looking forward to the visit, but the downside was that the bus was picking them up at 6.30am this morning!!! We knew the children would make it to school on time but what about our responsible adults???!!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as you&#8217;ve probably guessed, everyone made it to Riverbank on time and Riverbank is now participating in the Tesco Bank National Football Festival at Hampden Park, Glasgow. So, some of our wee ones are now playing on the hallowed Hampden turf. I wonder how many of us would have loved an opportunity like that! To be able to say, &#8220;I&#8217;ve played football at Hampden!&#8221; What an experience!<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-3734-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/05\\\/IMG_1390-e1464004323908.jpg?fit=480%2C640\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3727&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1390&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Bright and breezy and ready to set off for Glasgow.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/05\\\/IMG_1391-e1464004334358.jpg?fit=480%2C640\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3728&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1391&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;The early start was a tad too early for this young man.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/05\\\/IMG_1392-e1464004347562.jpg?fit=480%2C640\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3729&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1392&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Another two need a nap following a very early start.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/05\\\/IMG_1393-e1464004361320.jpg?fit=480%2C640\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3730&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1393&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;One at rest but is that Vogue that\\u0026#8217;s been read\\u0026#8230;or maybe even Cosmopolitan?
