\nThe staff who support our children during intervals and lunchtime have communicated an increase in the number of incidents resulting from children trading collectable cards. Many of our children enjoy bringing in Pok\u00e9mon cards and other collectable cards from home. If your child likes to bring these cards into school, we would request that you have a chat with them about the value (both monetary and personal) of their collectable cards and what it means if they trade a card with another child. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, the trading of these cards has resulted in a number of upsets and disagreements amongst some of our pupils which we very much want to avoid where possible.\u00a0 If things continue like this, we may have no option but to stop the trading of cards in school or even have a ban on the cards coming into school altogether.\u00a0 We are not yet at this point and we really don\u2019t want to take this step as we know how much fun some children have with this activity however I hope you can understand if it does get to this point in the coming weeks.\u00a0 Thank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Please note that on Monday 6th<\/sup> February there will be a special lunch to mark the school\u2019s birthday. The usual sandwich\/baguette options will be available but the hot option will be mince and potatoes, vegetarian mince will\u00a0 also be available. There will be cake and custard too. This can be ordered by the children as normal on Monday morning in school.<\/p>\n
\nAs another part of our Netherlee\u2019s 90th<\/sup> Birthday celebrations next week, all classes will have a fun \u2018birthday party\u2019 on Thursday 9th<\/sup> February. To add to the special occasion and in keeping with the birthday theme, your child is very welcome, should they wish, to bring in a small <\/strong>birthday snack from home to enjoy at the party. Please remember we are a nut free school- thank you.<\/p>\n

\nPlease check your child\u2019s bag for a letter regarding your child\u2019s P1 health check.<\/p>\n
