Hello everyone
Netherlee Podcast – 90 Years in 90 Minutes
Our P7 Tech Team are proud to announce the first episode of our podcast to celebrate Netherlee’s upcoming 90th birthday on 6th February! We have started by interviewing Mrs Donaldson, and will be interviewing lots of different staff members, ex pupils and staff, and community members over the coming weeks. It can be listened to on Spotify and on Anchor FM by clicking these links. Find out more about the project here.
Cost of Living Support in East Renfrewshire
We know that many East Renfrewshire families may be struggling with rising costs of living, especially as we emerge from the festive period, so we want to let you know that help is available. A good place to start is the council’s website, where there is a range of support and advice: www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/cost-of-living-support
If you’d like free, expert and confidential advice, you can speak to ERC’s Money Advice and Rights Team by calling 0141 577 8420 or emailing mart@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk.
The Community Hub can also connect you with groups, organisations and services that can provide the support you need. Get in touch on 0141 876 9555 or hello@va-er.org.uk.
Reading Café in Primary 3a
Miss McLauchlan and Primary 3a are going to begin their very own Reading Café. The Café will take place every Monday during class time, from 2:25pm-3:00pm. We are going to start our Café on Monday 23rd January 2023 and do this until the 20th February 2023. On these days, the children are invited to bring in a book from home that they enjoy and would like to read/share in class. As well as this, the pupils are welcomed to bring in a small teddy to read their story to as well if they would like to!
Finally, we are really eager to have 2-3 parents joining us for our Reading Café on the following weeks: 6th and 20th February.
If you are interested and available to come into class on these dates and at the time mentioned above, please complete the form attached by Monday 30th January 2023. https://forms.gle/q6BD13DH4qns4uuE7. We would be so happy to have you join us… we might even ask you to read a book to us! If we are lucky enough to have too many volunteers, we will choose names at random and Mrs Linn or I will contact you to let you know the date you are required to attend. Hopefully there will be other opportunities like this in the future!
Thank you in advance for your help and support with this, we appreciate it greatly.
Miss McLauchlan and Primary 3a 🙂
