Hello everyone
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.
Early Finish – Thursday 28th March
School will close slightly earlier than usual on this day. P1 and P2 will finish at 2.25pm and P3-7 will finish at 2.30pm. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the Spring Break on 15th April.
Early Collection from School/ Change to Pick-up Arrangements
We understand that on rare occasions home arrangements for the end of the day, leaving school, may need to change. For example, a child may be walking home instead of being collected. Whenever possible, we would appreciate it if these types of emails could be sent in by 12.30pm as teachers pick up any emails sent to them at the start of lunchtime- thanks so much for your help with this. Of course we also understand that last minute changes also happen sometimes.
Psychology of Parenting Project (PoPP)
The following PoPP Sway shares information on the availability of PoPP groups within East Renfrewshire during 2024. These groups are for any parents/carers who have children 2-12 years and are interesting in extending their knowledge of how to manage behaviour. https://sway.cloud.microsoft/gWOLYNyk1D3CLLGg

Primary 3b: Class Treat
Primary 3b have worked very hard to earn their 100 points and have chosen to have a pyjama party to celebrate on Thursday 28th March. In the afternoon, your child is welcome to change into pyjamas to watch a film in class. They are also welcome to bring a small teddy too. Please note your child should not wear their pyjamas to school.
Primary 4b: Football Cards
Many of the children in P4b have been bringing in football cards from home and trading them in the class and the playground. Unfortunately, this has led to a number of upsets and disagreements amongst some of the pupils, which has resulted in teaching time being disrupted so that these arguments can be resolved. We would really appreciate your support and would ask that the children do not bring football cards into school for the time being. This should minimise any fall out as a result of bringing these cards into school and should also have a positive impact on the amount of teaching time taken to resolve any issues. We will continue to speak to the class and look at this again in a few weeks’ time to see if cards can be brought back into school. Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Many thanks.
Primary 5c: Treat
As a treat for filling our class Gem Jar, P5C have chosen to have a go at making slime (contains: PVA glue, contact lens solution, colouring and glitter, bicarbonate of soda). If possible, please send a small container next week with your child if you would be happy for them to take some home. Thank you.
P6 Bikeability
Your child will shortly be participating in cycling training, Bikeability, in school. Please see the attached letter and bike check information in your email for more details. Please complete the Bikeability Consent Form so that your child is able to participate. Please note, we have some bikes in school that children can use if they do not have their own bike, however, we would require you to provide a cycle helmet.
Have a wonderful weekend.
