Hello everyone,
What a week of sunshine, stay and plays, bread making, outdoor experiences and sports to name just some of the activities throughout the week!
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.
Sharing the Learning and Progress
We hope you enjoyed the stay and play sessions and look forward to speaking to all parents/carers who have signed up for a parent consultation meeting. The appointment sheets are in the foyer for you to choose a suitable time and date.
Sun Protection
Please remember to apply sun cream before the morning drop off and our staff will reapply around midday if the UV rating is 3 or above for that day. The children are becoming more aware of the benefits of staying safe in the sun by applying cream, wearing appropriate clothes and remembering to pop on a sun hat before going out. We always encourage the children to drink fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated.
Lending Library
If you have any special interests for books for our mini Lending Library in the front foyer, please let us know and will find some suitable titles. The handy bags are there for you to use…borrow one, borrow three…we value reading for pleasure at home and in nursery. The children all have favourites that they like to hear over and over again and often use parts of these stories as a stimulus for their imaginative play. Feel free to stop and have a chat with Mr Strang-Roy or our keyworkers about the joy of reading together.
Donations Welcome
As we are always looking to improve our school and nursery environment, we have recently embarked on a community mural project to brighten up our “Cage” area. Pupil designs have been shortlisted with many members of our school community (parents, staff, pupils and local businesses) having their say. As we look to get started, any donations of outdoor paint would be gratefully received, to help to bring the vision to life! If you are able to donate any paint, please do so to the school office as we look forward to getting our latest project underway.
Tie Gifting
We are very excited to invite you to our Nursery Tie Gifting for children leaving Netherlee Nursery to start school in August. This will take place on Wednesday 18th June and Friday 20th June between 9.45-10.30am. Both events will take place in the Saplings building. We kindly ask that a maximum of two guests per child attend the Tie Gifting.
Please see dates and times below for the groups:
Wednesday 18th June 9.45-10.30am
Owl
Deer
Rabbit
Butterfly
Fox
Friday 20th June 9.45-10.30am
Otter
Hedgehog
Squirrel
Badger
The ceremonies will take place in the outdoor play area at the back of the Saplings building unless there is adverse weather. Parents and carers should arrive through the Saplings gate and enter through side gate in the P3/4/5 playground.
Those not attending the tie gifting (including our younger children) on the above dates should still attend their normal nursery session. If your child does not normally attend on the days of the tie gifting, please just let us know should they still wish to take part- they are of course more than welcome!
Reminder of Holiday Dates
The school and nursery will be closed on Friday 23rd May and Monday 26th May. Nursery will reopen at 8 a.m. on Tuesday 27th May.
As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery. We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
