Hello everyone,

I’ve had such a lovely week as I’ve had time to reconnect with familiar faces in school and nursery and re-establish relationships within our Netherlee community. I’ll be taking time to get to know our nursery and P1 children, talking to them as they play and learn, observing and trying to remember all their names (not easy!)  – Mrs Kerr

Upcoming Events
Please have a look at the parent calendar, available on our Netherlee Website, to see all the dates and times of the various events coming up.  This link will take you straight there https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/er/sandnc/calendar.

Lunch Times
Thank you for your understanding when ERC introduced a temporary menu. From Wednesday 14^th February we will revert back to the original menu. The first day back after any holiday is always Monday’s menu for that week which means Wednesday will be our ever popular pizza day! Our menu can be found here: https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/article/1223/Nursery-lunch-menu

Can you help?
Have you got any pasta, pulses, noodles or dried rice lurking in your cupboards that are past their use-by date? If you have we’d love these for children to use during sensory experiences or role-play. Please don’t be embarrassed or think we’ll judge, I know that I buy lots of dried items for my own house and have great intentions of using these but then they get overlooked and go past their sell-by.

We are always looking for old vegetables that are past their best for children to play with. If you have any old potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips children would love these to enhance their role-play dinners.
