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.
School and Nursery Photographs
We will be welcoming Jane Henderson back into our school and nursery from Monday 16th March until Friday 27th March. She will take:
- class, individual and sibling photographs of children in P1 and P7.
- class and individual photographs of children in P2-P6.
- our nursery children will have individual photographs
The photographs will be taken indoors so we don’t have to worry about the weather!
As always, we will do our very best to include all children in the photographs but this may not be possible if a pupil is absent during Jane’s time at school and nursery.
Please could school children wear a shirt and school tie on the day/s their photos are due to be taken as we have timetabled these sessions around PE and outdoor learning days. We always have spare ties in school that the children can wear, if needed. Nursery children can wear their normal nursery clothes.
Please see attached timetables (w/c 16th and w/c 23rd), which details the days and times your child’s photograph is due to be taken. Please note there are a few exceptions to the siblings photographs due to nursery patterns and/or outdoor learning. If this applies to your family, Mrs Linn will contact you to let you know your children’s photograph date. We hope the photographs will be a lovely memento of your child’s year in school and nursery.
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.
British Science Week – 9-13th March
We are delighted to announce that our school will be diving into British Science Week! To spark curiosity and develop our young scientists’ inquiry skills, every class will be participating in hands-on experiments and STEM challenges. From exploring chemical reactions to engineering solutions for the future, we can’t wait to see our pupils’ “lightbulb moments” as they explore the wonders of the world around them.
P4 Open Classrooms
We are very much looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming parents/carers into school on Friday 6th March for Open Classrooms. All P4 classes will be in the Hub and Atrium so we invite P4 parents between 9.30am and 10.00am to make their way there once they are in the school. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Primary 6b: Shoebox Project
As part of our World Book Day celebrations P6b would love to use our creativity to transform an old shoebox into a scene from a well-known story! If possible, any donations of empty shoeboxes would be gratefully received to help with this project by Friday the 6th of March. Thank you, as always, for your support.
Primary 7 Show Tickets
It’s almost showtime! As you know, our wonderful Primary 7 students have been rehearsing tirelessly for our upcoming production of The Lion King. We are incredibly proud of their progress and are delighted to invite you to purchase tickets.
Performance Times:
Monday 27th April: 10:00am
Monday 27th April: 7:00pm
Tuesday 28th April: 7:00pm
The performance runtime is approximately one hour.
Tickets will be available via Parent Pay from 9th March. Due to Health and Safety capacity regulations, at the initial sale each family will be able to purchase two tickets, priced at £3 each for only one performance. When purchasing the tickets on Parent Pay, please detail in the notes section which performance you are looking to attend: Monday 27th April at 10am; Monday 27th April at 7pm or Tuesday 28th April at 7pm.
After this initial sale of tickets, we will let you know if there are any remaining tickets. These will then be sold in person from the school office.
Every P7 student has played a vital role in this production. From mastering choreography and songs to ‘Backstage Crew’ or ‘Tech Team’. This has been a truly collaborative project that has allowed the children to develop fantastic new skills.
To celebrate their hard work, each child will receive a commemorative programme as a memento. Additional programmes will be available for purchase at each performance.
Thank you for your continued support in making this a memorable experience for the children. We can’t wait to see you there!
