Hello everyone,
Thank-you to those who were able to attend our Stay and Play sessions this week. The children and staff just loved welcoming parents and carers into our nursery. They are such a valuable way to play alongside your child and to experience ‘a day in the life’ of your child here at Netherlee!
Personal Care Plans
Each child has a ‘Personal Care Plan’ which focuses on the wellbeing indicators (Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included) from Getting it Right for Every Child. Our Personal Care Plans allow parents to share information to identify next steps to support children’s learning and wellbeing within nursery or at home. These are sent home every six months. If you have recently received your child’s personal care plan to complete, please ensure these are returned to nursery as soon as possible- thank you.
Recycled Donations
We are always on the lookout for opportunities to make use of any old items that may otherwise be thrown away. These are items which we can use to support and enhance the children’s play and learning experiences in the nursery. We would therefore kindly ask for any of the following items if you have them and are just about to dispose of them. Thank you.
- Kitchen items and utensils (e.g. spoons, forks, whisks, pots, pans, salt/herb shakers)
- Jigsaws
- Measuring scales (e.g. kitchen scales)
- Old telephone (landline)
- Recipe books and recipe magazines
Diversity and Equality Parent & Carers Group
Our Primary 7 Diversity Councillors had our first, successful meeting on Wednesday and we are looking for adults with an interest or passion for celebrating Diversity and Equality here in Netherlee to join us. We are hoping to build on the success of our previous Diversity events, celebrating the wide range of religion, culture, gender and neurodiversity we have in our school community. We will meet the last Wednesday of each month, from 2.40pm- 3.10pm and you are welcome to come along to all or just some of the meetings. If you would like to be part of this group of if you have any further questions, please contact Mrs Kelly Linn at school mail SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk.

A Note from PTA – Coming Together for our School and Nursery
Save the Dates – Fundraising Activities
Some of you may be aware that the PTA, volunteers and everyone who participates in any of the events help raise funds that support some of the extra items beyond the core school budget. Last school year this included items like sumdog subscriptions, new playground markings, sports equipment and the colour dash. Without the support of everyone, whether you volunteer, donate or participate in the events none of this would be possible so a huge THANK YOU for all your support! We hope everyone can get involved in some way again this school year and look forward to enjoying the fun across the school community.
As we mentioned in last week’s bundle the PTA are getting ready for 2023/24 with some fundraising activities planned for autumn and winter and have provided some dates to save below. We will shortly be sending out lists of all the activities and events where you or other family members can get involved in supporting our school, however in the interim if anyone would like to note their interest please email netherleepta@gamil.com.
- Design a card project – Please see the attached flyer and hopefully you will find a form in your child’s school bag.
- The Autumn Pumpkin Event is planned for Friday 27th October 6pm – 8pm – Please see the attached flyer for a flavour of what to expect. More details of how you can get involved to follow in the next couple of weeks.
- The collections of bottles or chocolates for the Winter Event will take place on Friday 1st December with the actual event taking place on the evening of 7th December.
If you have any questions or wish to get involved in any aspect of the PTA please reach out to us at netherleepta@gmail.com.
Have a lovely weekend.
