Hello everyone, just a very short bundle this week.
World Book Day at Netherlee
We have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating World Book Day at Netherlee school and nursery this week. Each of our classes received their surprise mystery item and created wonderful written and spoken stories across the week. It has been a joy to read some of their imaginative stories. Our children have enjoyed reading for pleasure with their favourite books and some of our classes organised a cosy read with some hot chocolate! Many of our classes have engaged with fun, book related activities to promote reading for pleasure which have included taking part in virtual author and illustrator live videos, creating artwork inspired by favourite book characters and carrying out surveys to find out our most popular authors at Netherlee. We are excited to use some of this information to update our school reading resources to ensure our texts are diverse, relevant and enjoyable for our children. Lastly, all our children have been given a £1 Book Voucher which can be used in participating stores and is valid until Sunday 26th March 2023. Have a look on our school and nursery twitter @sand_c to see more fun from across the week. Thank you for your continued support.
School and Nursery Photographs
As you are aware the school photographer has been in school and nursery and we would like you to note that due to the Industrial Action this week she will be in school on Tuesday and Wednesday next week to capture photographs, for any individual and siblings not yet taken. Due to the logistics, we cannot guarantee that the children will not be in their PE uniform for these pictures. Therefore, one sibling may be in their shirt and tie and another sibling in their navy polo shirt and PE uniform. As always, purchasing these photographs is entirely optional.
Please could we ask that the PE uniform policy is fully adhered to at all times and also for these photographs eg navy branded polo shirt, plain navy bottom items and that these items do not have visible branded logos, stripes, ticks or naming (eg Nike). Thank you for your continued support with this.
Nursery children can wear their normal nursery clothes.
Change of Menu: 9th March
Please find attached our planned menu change for next Thursday 9th March. The allergy information is included to enable your child to select a suitable option. However, if you require further allergy or dietary information, please contact our catering team via the school office.
Primary 6C: PE Day Change
6C will now have PE on a Tuesday and Thursday. Could the children please come wearing their full PE kit on these days instead.
Have a lovely weekend.
