NNC Parent News 07.10.2022

Hello everyone,

The weeks are flying by so quickly and the weather has definitely changed! Despite the rain, the children have been engaging in lots of lovely experiences both indoors and outdoors. They have been listening to the pitter patter of the rain, discussing the changing colours of the leaves and enjoying counting the conkers on the ground. Please ensure you check out our weekly Learning Links on your child’s Google Classroom where the children’s upcoming play experiences are detailed and also Netherlee’s Twitter page to see what the children have been getting up to!  If you have any problems or difficulties accessing Google Classrooms, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will be able to help you.

Chatter Café
Thank-you to those who attended the informal Chatter Café this week. It was a lovely chance to get together to discuss ideas and have a blether with some lovely coffee and cakes made by our pupils. We really enjoyed chatting to everyone and were delighted that so many parents managed to come along.  If you did not manage to attend, please be assured that our Chatter café will take place on a termly basis and the next date can be found here link.

Pitter Patter
A bit of rain does not stop us here at Netherlee Nursery! Please be reminded that it is helpful if wellies are brought to Nursery each day please. Many of our children enjoy and benefit from getting messy with mud or water whilst playing outdoors. We have a small supply of spare nursery clothes but we would be grateful for any donations of pre-loved trousers if at all possible. Thank-you very much.

Recycled Donations
As stated in a previous Friday Bundle, we are on the hunt for donations of any pre-loved items that you would otherwise have thrown away. Each week in our Friday bundle email, we will highlight any items we are looking for to enhance the children’s learning experiences. This week we would gratefully receive:

  • Junk modelling materials: cereal boxes, cartons, plastic milk bottles, yoghurt pots
  • Other materials such as bubble wrap, scraps of fabric and ‘loose parts’ such as corks, shells, milk tops to enhance models

Save A Life Scotland
We would like to say a huge thank you to Dr Fiona Burton and her team of medical volunteers who kindly gave up their time to come into school today to support us with a very successful Save a Life Scotland Day. We are delighted that over 700 of our pupils are now CPR ready! Well done to everyone for taking part

Change to Lunch Menu
We have been informed that there is a temporary change to the lunch menu from Monday 10th to Friday 14th October. Please see the menu link (week 3) here.
