Hello everyone,

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.
House Reward
We are excited to announce that the House winner for Term Two is the Yellow House – congratulations to all Yellow House children! House points are awarded for displaying our school values: courage, compassion, respect, responsibility, fairness and friendship. As a reward to say well done, we are going to celebrate with a Games Morning on Monday 8th December. There will be a mix of board games, party games and team games and also a chance to challenge their friends on the PlayStation or Nintendo Switch! Children should wear their normal school uniform that day but can wear a self-coloured Yellow House T- shirt instead of their shirt or polo shirt, if they would like.
Christmas Party dates and arrangements
To celebrate the end of Term 2, all our classes will have a party during the school day. On your child’s party day, your child can ‘dress as you please’. Thanks to the PTA for providing a packet of teddy face crisps for these parties. We have taken account of your child’s dietary requirements however, if this needs updated, please contact the school office at your earliest convenience. Please see all of the party dates below:

PTA: Cauliflower Cards Customer Update
Thank you to the PTA volunteers who have ensured Cauliflower Cards orders were processed and distributed in a timely manner. Also, thank you again to the office and teaching staff for your support.
After an earlier start with our Cauliflower designs this year, we anticipated an earlier delivery of our orders. However, due to Cauliflower Cards contracting a new courier company, our forms were collected much later than planned. However, we hope that festive greeting cards were still in time for sending out some good cheer.
We are aware that one box of mugs got damaged during transit. This is the first time we have experienced this with a mug order. Please do email us at netherleepta@gmail.com if you have received a broken mug.
The brand new playing card production line has run slower than anticipated this year and as a result Cauliflower Cards have decided to dispatch all other products ahead of the playing cards so that we can distribute them without further delay. As a result the playing cards will be delivered next week and we will sort and distribute these as soon as we receive it.
We can recommend Cauliflower Cards for their exceptional customer service and quality products. On behalf of our supplier we ask that you accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by these unexpected production and courier delays.
We want to thank each and everyone who have supported our fundraising efforts with this project.
Thank you.
Celebrating Children’s Achievements
We always enjoy celebrating our children’s achievements, both in and out of school however, this session, we are making some changes to this process after speaking to groups of children and getting feedback from them.
Any out of school and any in-school achievements will now be displayed proudly on our lovely new House display boards. Please drop by to have a look any time you are in school, these are located in the link corridor leading off the atrium. These achievements can be big or small as we recognise that even what may appear as a small achievement to one person can be a huge success to another e.g. Learning to ride a bike or gaining a badge at swimming. In order to submit the information about your child’s out of school achievements, please complete the Google Form using the link below. Please note the link will feature each week in our Friday newsletter and you are welcome to send in achievements at any time.
Achievements Outside of School Google Form
No photographs are required. We will display your child’s name, details of their achievement and their house colour on the House Boards which we hope to fill with lots of wonderful achievements as we know so many of our children do fabulous things out with school. As always, we would be very grateful for any feedback from parents/ carers in relation to this.
Primary 4c: Staff Update
We are delighted to share the news that Mrs Catherine Anderson will be returning from her maternity leave on Wednesday 17th December. Mrs Anderson will work every Thursday, Friday and alternate Wednesdays. Your child will continue to be taught by Miss Campbell every Monday, Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Mrs Anderson back into school and know she is excited about her return and working with your children.
P7 Remembrance Service- An Update from Mr Bryce
We will be recording the Remembrance Assembly next week and then editing it together in to a video. A link to the video will be shared with you via email during the last week of term.
Primary 7: Community Concert
Please see attached flyer regarding the Charity Christmas Concert being held in Netherlee Church on Tuesday, 16th December.
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.
