Hello everyone,
The children have adapted amazingly to the new routines and are showing great independence and resilience. They have been engaging in lots of lovely experiences this week; noticing their environment, solving problems together and chatting about their family.
Calendar of Events
Due to unforeseen circumstances, there have been a few small date changes to the calendar of events sent out last week. An updated copy has been attached for your attention and the online school calendar, on the website, will be updated next week to reflect all events.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS 2023-2024 v2
Stay and Play Sessions
Please be reminded that our first Stay and Play sessions will take place on the week beginning Monday 11th September. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity to play together with your child and see our wonderful spaces and experiences. Sign-up sheets will be made available next week (Monday 4th September) at our nursery doors for you to choose a suitable date/time. We kindly ask that a maximum of two adults accompany each child. If at all possible, younger siblings should not attend the sessions. We look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.
Child smile Tooth Brushing
Please find attached the Childsmile tooth brushing consent letter for the upcoming academic year. Your child will be enrolled in the tooth brushing programme automatically. You do not need to do anything. However, if you do not want your child to take part in the Childsmile tooth brushing programme please contact us via email (nurserymail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk) within two weeks of receiving this letter (Friday 15th September 2023).

Home Learning and Google Classroom
Next week, we will begin to issue information on how to access your child’s Google Classroom. Each month, we will post a home learning experiences grid (previously known as ‘learning links’) on this platform. This will feature some suggested activities that may be some fun activities for you and your child to do together.
Nursery Uniform
Nursery uniform is of course entirely optional. Should you wish to make a nursery uniform order, forms will be available from next week. Forms should be completed and handed to the school office at the main entrance. We kindly ask that payments are completed by Friday 15th September using ParentPay. Please ask a member of staff at our nursery doors for a form should you wish to place an order. Please note that orders cannot be placed until payment is complete. Thank-you.
We also have a selection of pre-loved nursery sweatshirts and polo shirts available outside the Saplings nursery doors which are looking for a new home! Please help yourself to these from our Saplings building.
Chatter Café
All nursery and school parents and carers are very welcome to come along to our Chatter Café on Wednesday 13th September from 9:10am until 10am in our school Hub. This is an extremely informal opportunity to chat to members of the Leadership Team and to meet other parents and carers to share your thoughts and ideas about any aspect of Netherlee life! You’ll also be able to enjoy some tea, coffee and delicious home baking, made and served by a group of pupils too! Please do pop in if you can- we really look forward to seeing you.
Have a lovely weekend.
