Hello everyone,
Church Service
On the morning of Thursday 21st December, P4-7 will attend Netherlee Church for a Christmas Service. As space is limited within the church, unfortunately, we will only be able to accommodate two family members from the children who are reading, performing in the choir or playing their instrument. Separate information has been sent to these families already, please only attend the service if you have received confirmation that your child will be performing. The service will be recorded and a link to the recording will be emailed out as soon as possible afterwards. We hope that you are not too disappointed with these restrictions. If you would prefer your child not to attend for religious reasons, please email the school office by Monday 18th December. For safety reasons, we cannot accommodate any further withdrawal requests on Thursday morning.

Netherlee School and Nursery Library Pop Up
In the new year, we will be opening up our school library once a month to our wider school and nursery community. On Thursday 18th January from 3.15-4.00pm our library will be open to our families. Our first library ‘pop up’ will have a focus on sharing our English as an Additional Language texts. We will have our diverse collection of reading texts available for you to enjoy with your child (ren). You are welcome to read with your child in the library at this time or take a reading text out on loan. There will be a small collection of adult texts to choose from too! Mrs Pollock, Mrs Ford and some of our P7 librarians will be on hand there to help you and to serve a wee selection of food, juice and teas/coffees too! We hope you can make it along to our first pop up and across the year we will have different monthly pop ups including focuses on authors such as Roald Dahl, Julia Donaldson and Scottish authors.
