Hello everyone,
Upcoming Events
Please have a look at the parent calendar, available on our Netherlee Website, to see all the dates and times of the various events coming up. This link will take you straight there https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/er/sandnc/calendar.
Childhood Illness
NHS Scotland guidance on infectious diseases has recently been updated and can be found here.
School and Nursery Photographs
We will be welcoming Jane Henderson back into our school and nursery from Monday 24th February until Friday 7th March. She will take:
- class, individual and sibling photographs of children in P1 and P7
- class and individual photographs of children in P2-P6
- our nursery children will have individual photographs taken
The photographs will be taken indoors so we don’t have to worry about the weather! As always, we will do our very best to include all children in the photographs but this may not be possible if a pupil is absent during Jane’s time at school and nursery.
Please could school children wear a shirt and school tie on the day/s their photos are due to be taken as we have timetabled these sessions around PE and outdoor learning days. We always have spare ties in school that the children can wear, if needed. Nursery children can wear their normal nursery clothes.
Please see attached timetables, which details the days and times your child’s photograph is due to be taken. We hope the photographs will be a lovely memento of your child’s year in school and nursery.
Work Home
Your child will bring home pieces of literacy work and one other piece today to share with you over the weekend. We hope you enjoy looking over the work with your child and discussing their learning. Please could we ask that jotters are sent back into school on Monday. Thank you.
Community Events: Dyslexia Scotland Meeting
Please find attached information regarding Dyslexia and Apprenticeships Meeting on Wednesday 19th February.
Primary 4 Showcase – Uniform
As Primary 4 have their Love and Values Display of Learning on Wednesday morning at 9.30am, could all children please wear shirt and tie uniform into school that day. We look forward to seeing you there!
Primary 6/7: Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP)’
As part of the Health and Wellbeing curriculum all pupils in Primary 6 and 7 will be involved in a series of ‘Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP)’ lessons this term. This is part of ERC’s Health and Wellbeing programme and follows the National and RSHP guidelines. To give us the opportunity to discuss the resources and content of lessons with you before they are taught, we ask that you attend a short, informal evening presentation, in school. We will share the resources used and answer any questions you may have.
This will be the same P6 and P7 presentations as last year so if you attended for another sibling last year, whilst you are still very welcome, you may feel it is not necessary to attend.
We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday 20th February:
- P6 parents and carers should arrive at 6.30pm and the presentation will last approximately half an hour.
- P7 parents and carers should arrive at 7.15pm and the presentation will last approximately half an hour.
Your attendance would be appreciated.
Primary 7c Baking
P7C have been working hard to earn points for their class team between Christmas and the February holiday. Excellent effort, listening and good behaviour are recognised and as a reward the winning group this time have chosen to bake. We are planning this for next Tuesday 11th February. Since we have just finished looking at the Second World War, we thought we would try and make tasty and healthy Welsh cakes, a popular recipe from that time. The children will make these before then eat them in class if they want to.
The ingredients are:
Plain flour, baking powder, margarine, eggs, small amount of caster sugar, sultanas, carrot, milk and nutmeg.
We have a record of any allergies and intolerances on file for all pupils, but if there is anything else we should be aware of, then please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.
As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery. We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
Have a nice weekend.
