Hello everyone
Thank-you to the two members of staff, Joanne Greig and Lynne Morton, who led the Bookbug sessions this week which were a great success. The children and families had a wonderful time singing songs and listening to rhyming stories. Thank-you to all who were able to attend! We look forward to welcoming you all again at our next sessions in Term 3.
A Message from our P7 House Captains- UK National Charity Event
We are the House Captains and one of our jobs is to organise events. We spoke to all of the school pupils and asked them to vote on a charity that we would support. The charity that we have selected is Guide Dogs UK https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/ .We think that this is a very important charity as it helps visually impaired people all over the UK.
On Friday 9th December we have organised some activities and events to raise awareness of this important charity. We will visit the nursery buildings to talk to the children about guide dogs and carry out some fun activities with them.
Thank you, Noah and Millie (House Captains)

Chatter Café (Wednesday 21st December 9.15am – 9:45am)
We always strive to have excellent ways for you to get in touch with us and we have therefore introduced termly drop in sessions for any parent from nursery or school who would like to pop in for a coffee and chat with the Leadership Team. This is a very informal opportunity to come along and chat to us. Some of our pupils would also love to serve you a juice or a coffee/ tea and there may even be some of their delicious baking there too. On the 21st, this will be our second time running the Chatter Café this session, and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting to lots of parents at our café in term 1. You maybe have an idea or a suggestion on any aspect of Netherlee life or you may have concerns or looking for some advice. Our PTA will also be with us so you can find out about the PTA or volunteering in school and nursery too or even if you just fancy a quick coffee and a chat with some other parents! We will also have the recycled uniform rails available to browse as well. We look forward to welcoming anyone who has a spare few minutes on the date and time above.
Everyone Matters
Thanks to those that have already volunteered to be involved in our ‘Everyone Matters’ partnership group. We would be delighted to see more parents join us! If you would like to be a part of this group, simply please get in touch in the usual way or read more here.
Note of Thanks from the PTA
A huge thank you from the PTA for the brilliant support at the Winter Fair yesterday. Thank you to our lovely stall holders, to the raffle prize donors, to the PTA volunteers, to the nursery and primary staff, to the pupils who decorated windows, ran stalls, sang in the choir and made items for the fair. Thank you to everyone who donated pre-loved items, donated to the tombola’s and who came along to make such a lovely evening. Thank you to the facilities staff for cleaning everywhere ready for school again today. We hope you all enjoyed it, and thank you for making it a success.
I would also like to add my own thanks to the wonderful PTA. Last night’s event was fantastic and it was very special being able to watch the Netherlee community attending these types of events in our school once again. You have had a very busy and productive term PTA, thank you for all that you do for the school and nursery.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
