Water bottles
Please could we remind all parents and carers that children should be bringing a clear, named water bottle to school every day. We have noticed recently that many children are bringing juice into school in their water bottles. Please could we ask that water bottles are filled with water only and a reminder that these can be refilled at any of our water stations throughout the school day. Thank you for your support with this.
Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland 1st – 7th November
The week beginning 30th October we will be celebrating Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland at Netherlee. Our main aim of the week is to raise awareness of dyslexia within our school and nursery community. Our Primary 7 Diversity Councillors will be speaking to each class about what dyslexia is and some learning strategies which can support people who have a dyslexic profile. Across the week, the children will be taking part in some activities around what makes them unique and discussing their strengths and differences. At both of our Parents Evenings we will have a Dyslexia Awareness table situated in the Atrium for families to pop by to look at some of our dyslexia resources or just to have a conversation with Mrs Ford, our Dyslexia Advisor. We will also have ‘Ellie’s Blue Dyslexia Ribbons’ available across this week for children and staff to wear if they wish. More information about the Ellie’s Blue Ribbons campaign and how to support people with dyslexia can be found here on the Dyslexia Scotland website. https://dyslexiascotland.org.uk/dyslexia-awareness-week/
