Good afternoon everyone<\/p>\n
Please find attachments for this week:<\/p>\n
It has been another busy, but very productive, week in Netherlee.\u00a0 Our children and staff are working hard and we are all thoroughly enjoying being able to continue to move forwards with a now full primary curriculum, whilst also continuing to benefit from learning outdoors too.\u00a0 The first half of our Meet the Teacher Sessions have been very well attended by parents with most parents being able to join their child\u2019s teacher and stage leader on the night.\u00a0 We have more sessions next week, for the remaining stages, and I hope you have, and will, find these reassuring and helpful.\u00a0 Thank you to my teachers for providing these in \u201clive\u201d format.<\/p>\n
