Hello everyone,
Miss McCann was very busy at Lochgoilhead with the Primary 7s this week. She has been taking part in lots of activities, including abseiling, kayaking and night-walking! Well done, Miss McCann. Check out our school and nursery twitter to see how everyone got on!
Thank you to those who were able to attend our Stay and Play sessions this week. The children and staff just love welcoming our parents and carers into our nursery and they are a fantastic way to experience a day in the life of your child here at Netherlee!
We hope that you enjoy reading your child’s nursery reports which have been sent home today. The children have made such wonderful progress during their time with us. Time just flies!
A big congratulations to one of our nursery parents, Mrs Cross, who recently published her own book ‘Grow, Cook, Inspire’. Well done- this is a fantastic achievement.
Parents’ Appointments
Please be reminded that our parent appointments begin next week. These appointments will take place over two weeks (Monday 15th May- Thursday 25th May) with your child’s key worker in the nursery buildings. Sign-up sheets are now available at the nursery doors. If you haven’t managed to secure a suitable day or time, please let a member of staff know on pick up or drop off.
Your child’s artwork, inspired by King Charles III Coronation, will also be available in the nursery buildings for you to collect on your appointment. To raise money for the nursery fund, in return for the artwork, we would invite you to make a donation of at least £3. Unfortunately, we will only be able to accept cash. All money raised will go towards the nursery fund, this is used to pay for items to support children’s play and learning experiences, such as ingredients for cooking and other perishable items (e.g. flour, shaving foam).
PTA Uniform Sale
The uniform samples are now available to view and try on at our Saplings building. They will remain there from 9am until 6pm, every week day, until Thursday 25th May and orders may be placed online until Monday 29th May. As the hoodie styles and colours can vary from different suppliers, we would kindly encourage you to purchase any hoodies from the PTA, for consistency purposes.

Nursery Sports Day
As part of sports week, the children in our nursery will be taking part in a sports day on Tuesday 30 May, from 1.45pm on the pitch. I hope you can join us! We are also looking for any parents or carers who have experience of participating in sport who may be interested in coming to speak to the children or lead an active session. If you think this is something you would be interested in, please contact Mrs Kelly Linn at SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk
Living Streets Walk to School Week
As you know, on Monday 15th till Friday 19th May, we are taking part in the Walk to School Week led by Living Streets. The aim of this week is to help encourage as many children as possible to experience the benefits of walking to school and in day-to-day life. We had a special assembly this week to learn more about how to take part and each class has received a Living Streets challenge pack which includes an activity diary if children wish to record if they travel actively (walk/wheel, cycle, scoot or Park and Stride) to school during the week. Park and Stride involves parking or hopping off public transport at least ten minutes away from the school and walking the rest of the way. Our P4 Wellbeing Committee will be leading an active warm up on Monday morning to launch the start of the week alongside Strider the Living Streets mascot. Our nursery children will have a special visit from Strider too! We hope by taking part in this week we can raise awareness of the health benefits of walking and that it is fun! We would also like to say thank you for completing our Living Streets Active Travel parent survey earlier this year and for your continued support.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Have a lovely weekend.
