Hello everyone,
Sports Week Finale
To finish off what will hopefully be a wonderful week, the children will be taking part in a Colour Dash Race on Friday afternoon. This has been generously funded by our wonderful PTA. For this, we will be using Holi Colour Powder Safety and Ingredients, which are EU certified. Your child is welcome to wear sunglasses for this event or, if you’d prefer your child did not participate, please email Mrs Linn at SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk. You can also contact Mrs Linn if you have any further questions about Sports Week.
Book Returns
It would be much appreciated if you could send any school reading books back in to school by FRIDAY 13th June. Any books lurking under beds, in school bags etc. would be welcome so that we can maintain our stocks of texts for next academic session. Thanks for your help with this book amnesty!
Primary 1: Teddy Bears’ Picnic 20th June
As a special treat for their final full week in Primary One we will be having a Teddy Bears’ Picnic on Friday 20th June.
Your child can bring in one (small) teddy to take part in the picnic. Please do not worry if you forget as we have plenty of lonely teddies in school who are looking forward to a day of fun!
The children will be making sandwiches in class and dipping apple slices in honey as a treat. The ingredients we will be using are: bread, vegetable spread, cheddar cheese, cucumber, apples and honey. All allergies have been taken into account but please let us know if these need to be updated.

Primary 6:
The Primary 6 teachers would like to take the pupils to a visit in the local area on Friday 20th June as a thank you for being such a hardworking stage this year. We are planning on leaving after break (11.00am) and returning before lunchtime. We would like to provide the children with an ice lolly (sugar free) but the children are welcome to bring a little snack and their water bottle if they wish. This will all depend on the weather so we are really hoping for some sun!
For this to go ahead we are looking for parent volunteers to accompany us please. If you are able to help, could you please contact the office before Friday 13th June. Thank you for all of your support this year, The P6 Teachers
Primary 7: ParentPay
As your child is soon to leave Netherlee, we would like to ask you to please log into your child’s ParentPay School Meal account and check that it is up to date.
We would appreciate for any balances owed to be paid by 20th June. Could we also please remind you to ensure that there are sufficient funds in accounts for the final week if your child is going to purchase a school lunch. If you have the automatic top-up can we please request that you turn this facility off.
P7 children should use up any outstanding balances in their accounts before the end of term or you can give consent for these to be transferred to a sibling by Friday 14th June.
As always, please don’t hesitate to get in touch confidentially if you would like to discuss your child’s ParentPay account and we will always try to help.
Community Events: Gaelic Bookbug Sessions
Please see attached a flyer regarding sessions in Thornliebank and Clarkston Library, and also Barrhead Foundry.
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.
