Special Books
Each child has a special book in the Nursery which reflects their progressive learning story. We will be sending your child’s Special Book home next week (week beginning 4th December). This will be a lovely opportunity for your child to share their learning journey with you and for you to add any learning from home. Inside your child’s special book, you will find a recently updated ‘Family Involvement’ sheet for you and your child to complete. We kindly ask that your child’s special book is returned to nursery by or before Monday 11th December.
Parent and Carer Volunteers: Storytelling with Children
Reading together offers an opportunity for parents and children to connect. We are welcoming parents and carers to join us at the nursery for a lovely reading session with the children. You are welcome to browse from our collection of books, allowing the children to choose one of their favourites, or feel free to bring along a story from home!
If this is something you would be interested in, please drop us an email on nurserymail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk or give Jennifer McCann (Principal Teacher) a call on 0141 570 7260 to discuss in more detail.
