Hello again everyone,
SCHOOL UNIFORM
Thanks you once again for contributing to our uniform recycling processes. We are delighted with the response and would like to remind you that from next week, you can now begin to benefit and make use of the recycling system. I have re-attached the letter that Mrs Wharton sent out a couple of weeks ago which explains when and how you can drop by the school to look at what is available for you to take away for your child.
INTERNATIONAL MUSIC DAY 21st June 2021 (P5-7 children who play a musical instrument only)
Throughout this past year and especially during the recent lockdown period, we appreciate that many children have been continuing to conscientiously practise their musical instrumental playing at home. We are also delighted that musical tuition in school is slowly being reintroduced and we are so proud of these children for their efforts and dedication. As such, we would like to recognise International Music Day on 21st June this year. Please find attached a letter from Mrs Wharton and Mr Watson in relation to these exciting plans.
PTA MEETING WED. 19th MAY 2021
Please find attached the agenda for the next PTA meeting. All parents and carers of Netherlee are very welcome, please see the attached agenda for details of how to join us.
“ACTIVE”ITIES WEEK (24th – 27th MAY 2021)
To continue our focus on outdoor learning and the importance of being active to stay well, both physically and mentally, we are delighted to share our plans for “Active”ities Week in the attached letter from Mr Bryce- lots of fun to look forward to.
BIKEABILITY – P7 ONLY
Please note that due to a clash of dates the full day Bikeability session for p7c has been moved from Friday 11th June to Friday 4th June.
GETTING IN TOUCH
We continue to respond very quickly to any phone calls or emails that we receive from parents and are very appreciative that many of you have, and continue to, get in touch with us about a range of matters. Please be reassured that we would never hesitate to give you a call if we wanted to have a very quick chat with you about anything at all- even if this was about, what may seem like, a very small, non-urgent matter or if we wished to arrange a meeting with you to have a more in depth discussion. Therefore, please don’t hesitate to take this approach yourself too. All you have to do is give the school office a quick call or drop us a line in an email if you would like to chat to myself or any member of staff. Please don’t ever feel that you would be taking up, or wasting, our time in any way… parent/ school partnerships and ongoing communication is something that myself and all of my staff are very committed to- therefore there is nothing, in relation to your child or the school, that could ever be a waste of time. Even the smallest matters can be really important to you, us or your child and are often very easily and quickly sorted for your child or yourself. (Phone: 0141 570 7260 or email: schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk).
HEALTH AND WELLBEING SWAY
And finally, I hope you enjoy the latest in our ongoing series of SWAY Newsletters- thank you to Mrs Roberts for putting this one together for us. As you know, a focus on health and wellbeing always plays a huge part in the life of Netherlee however, never before has this ongoing focus been so important than over this past year. Please click on the link to get a flavour of what this looks and feels like in school and nursery. https://sway.office.com/LUpCCR0sFEOU4Bk7?ref=email.
