Netherlee Library Pop Up – Valentine’s Cosy Read
After the success of our first event, our Netherlee Library will be open once again on Thursday 15th February from 3.15-4.00pm. Our second library ‘pop up’ will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a focus on enjoying a cosy read with a family member or friend. We have a wonderful collection of reading texts available for you to enjoy with your child(ren). You are welcome to read with your child in the library at this time or take a reading text out on loan. There will be a small collection of adult texts to choose from too! Mrs Pollock, Mrs Ford and some of our P7 librarians will be on hand there to help you and to serve a wee selection of food, juice and teas/coffees. If you are interested, then please come to the main school entrance as close to 3.15pm on Thursday 15th January from 3.15-4.00pm and we can take you to our library. Thank you for your support.

Gong hei fat choy!
Chinese New Year
As part of our Chinese New Year celebrations, we are inviting your child(ren) to come to school on Thursday 8 February wearing their traditional Chinese clothes. If you do not have traditional Chinese clothing, you are welcome to wear an item of one of the lucky colours of this year: yellow, green, gold, silver, purple or red as part of your normal school uniform on this day. Of course, this is completely voluntary and if you do not wish your child to take part, they can come to school wearing their normal school uniform.

Baked Bean Drive
Mrs McCarthy’s Pupil Parliament group have been learning about socio-economic diversity and more specifically food poverty. The group have decided to help collect donations of tins of baked beans for our local Trussell Trust foodbank. If you would like to help us, please send your child into school on Thursday 8^th February with a tin, where our team will be happy to go round the classes and collect. Many thanks in anticipation – Mrs McCarthy and the P6 Diversity Group.

Diversity Month
Building on the success of last year’s Diversity events, all children in our school and nursery will be participating in Diversity Month during the month of February. We were incredibly lucky last year that lots of our parents and carers came in to share their cultural background with cooking, music, languages, dance and so much more and we would love to welcome even more of you again this year.

We have been looking at all themes of diversity during our Pupil Parliament time: race, gender, socio-economic, neuro, ethnicity and religion and wish to develop our Diversity Month even further to include more of these throughout the month.

If you feel this is something you would be able to help with, please contact Mrs Linn through school mail: SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk . You are welcome to speak to individual classes or whole stages about your experiences and/or lead active sessions, with the support of school staff and we can work around a time that suits you best.

Hello everyone

As we approach the end of term, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your family.  Our nursery and school will open the doors again on Monday 8^th January, ready to welcome our wonderful children back. Until then, we hope you have a peaceful holiday surrounded by family and friends. We hope this special time is filled with joy, laughter and cherished moments with loved ones.

We wish our families who celebrate Christmas a very Merry Christmas, filled with hope and happiness and a Happy New Year to all.

Halal Lunches in January
We have been made aware from our supplier, that there is a supply issue with the diced Halal chicken we purchase and that regretfully there will be no resolution until early January.  As a result the Halal Chicken Satay meal option will be unavailable to any young person that normally accesses this choice when we return after the holidays.  Pizza or Baked potato will be the two hot options available to any young person wishing a follow a Halal diet.  As soon as the diced Halal chicken supply resumes we will immediately add this back to the menu.

Have a lovely holiday.
