Bikes and Scooters in the Playground
To ensure the safety of all children, we kindly ask that bikes and scooters not be ridden inside the playground. Please ensure your child dismounts before entering to help prevent accidents and keep the area safe for everyone.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
Jungle Jamboree – Show Programme Adverts for Sale
Do you have a business? We need you! We are looking to raise funds for our Primary 7 school show by selling advertising space within our programme. If you are interested, please read the flyer and follow the link.
Come Fly With Me
In recent weeks at nursery there has been a lot of chat about making things fly, experimenting with different materials for making aeroplanes and measuring how far they can fly. So….we had a visit from a pilot to explain about his job, the skills and tools he uses, his flight log, safety checks and the exciting places he flies to.
Reading, reading and more reading
As always we would love for parents and carers to join us for Bookbug sessions. These sessions are great for exploring and enjoying stories, characters and settings, listening and spotting rhyming patterns and words. Here is a reminder of when these are:

Care Plans
If you have recently been looking over your child’s Care plan documentation at home, we would appreciate if they could be returned with your comments. Thanks for your full involvement in this important information sharing.
Eid and Ramadan Celebrations
We are very fortunate to have such wonderful children who have met with Mrs Linn this week to start planning Ramadan and Eid celebrations. In addition to classroom activities and a special assembly, they have suggested that children wear their Ramadan or Eid clothes on Thursday 27th March. This is completely optional and families do not need to participate if they would prefer not to. May we take this opportunity to thank the families who have already came into school to lead crafting and information workshops? All children and staff have been very grateful of your time. Many thanks.
Chatter Café
All nursery and school parents and carers are very welcome to come along to our Chatter Café on Friday 28th March from 9:15am until 9:45am in our school Hub. This is an extremely informal opportunity to chat to members of the Leadership Team and to meet other parents and carers to share your thoughts and ideas about any aspect of Netherlee life! You will also be able to enjoy some tea, coffee and delicious home baking, made and served by a group of pupils too! Please do pop in if you can- we really look forward to seeing you.
