Hello everyone<\/p>\n
Comic Relief Open Classrooms<\/strong> School Uniform Whilst the vast majority of our pupils come to school each day dressed in full school or PE uniform unfortunately, we have noticed an increasing number of children, mostly from the senior classes from P5-P7 who are no longer fully following the policy in terms of the non- wearing of obvious branded clothing to school e.g. Nike branded hoodies indoors and\/ or striped Nike\/ Adidas branded bottom half items for PE.\u00a0 Can I please therefore strongly request that our uniform policy is fully adhered to at all times. As a reminder of what the items are you can see the uniform policy here by clicking this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n For your ease, the main point is in relation to:<\/p>\n Thank you and as always if you have any questions about this, please don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch.<\/p>\n In relation to the above, our uniform recycling rails go out weekly at the Clarkston Road Gate at the following times. Friday, between\u00a08.50am \u2013 9am (P1-3 smaller items) and 3pm \u2013 3.10pm (P4-P7 middle and larger sizes) at the Clarkston Road School Gate<\/strong>.\u00a0 These items are all completely free of charge and include badged uniform items as well as non-badged grey and navy items.\u00a0 We are also very happy to source items from these rails ourselves for you if you can\u2019t make it to view the rails on a Friday, please just call or email and we will be happy to help. A reminder too that EVERY DAY our red Uniform Donations Box is available at the main school reception area for you to drop off any unwanted, pre-loved uniform items that your child has outgrown (badged, grey or navy). Thank you VERY much for your support and continued attention to this.<\/p>\n Upcoming Change to Weekly Emails<\/strong> Family Focused Gold Accreditation: Update We worked alongside our parent group to create the charter statements<\/a>.\u00a0 These statements underpin the award itself and reflect the values and ethos of Netherlee. Our Family Focused Charter\u2019s will now be created and situated within the school and nursery entrances, so keep your eyes peeled next time you are in for a visit!<\/p>\n As part of the Gold Award accreditation, parents and carers are required to complete a questionnaire containing a series of reflective statements about our school and nursery. We would be very grateful for your responses as having a high response rate id part of the accreditation. The link to complete the questionnaire will be sent in next week\u2019s Friday Bundle and will go live from Monday 17th<\/sup> April. Thank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n Netherlee Budding Minds Seed Sale Diversity Event Church Service Easter\/ Spring Break<\/strong> Primary 4a: Trip<\/strong> Primary 4b: Trip Primary 4c: Trip Primary 4d: Trip Primary 6a:\u00a0 Trip Primary 6b: Trip Primary 6d: Trip
\n<\/strong>A huge thank you for your generous donations, the school and nursery raised a total of \u00a3850.30 for Comic Relief- thank you so much for supporting this very worthwhile cause.<\/p>\n
\nWe are very much looking forward to welcoming parents into school on Friday 21st<\/sup> April for Open Classrooms. As indicated in the Dates for your Diary previously issued<\/a> we invite\u00a0P1-4 <\/strong>parents between\u00a011.15 and 11.45am <\/strong>and ask that you enter via the Clarkston Road Gate. Please use the doors to the right of the ramp to both enter and leave the school.\u00a0P5-7\u00a0<\/strong>parents, we look forward to welcoming you between\u00a09.30 and 10am<\/strong>\u00a0and we ask you to enter and exit via the main front door at reception. We request a maximum of two adults per child. Our children and staff are looking forward to seeing you then if you are able to join us.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As we are heading into Term 4, I thought it would be a good point to share how our uniform policy is going in Netherlee.\u00a0 We are very pleased with how the adaptation of our school uniform to now include a PE Uniform is going this session.\u00a0 This is proving to be a very positive adaptation as it ensures children have the longest time possible for PE as they no longer have to spend time getting changed in school, their privacy is also maintained as, like most primary schools, we don\u2019t have designated changing rooms in Netherlee and they are also comfortable and prepared when spending time outdoors during their outdoor learning lots each week.<\/p>\n\n
\nWe want to let you know that the Friday Bundles will look slightly different after the upcoming holiday fortnight. Our Friday Bundle will now be known as the Friday Newsletter and will contain all school news. A separate email will be issued, if applicable, detailing any upcoming trips or clubs which are relevant to only your child\/ren stage(s).<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As you will already know, we are hoping to achieve our Family Focused Gold Award on Friday 19th<\/sup> May.\u00a0\u00a0 A key focus of the Family Focused Gold Award is the creation of a Charter. The school took part in a challenge to come up with a design for our School and Nursery Charter. Well done to Freya in Primary 6 who came up with this fantastic design<\/a>, which will also feature our Nursery teddy bear.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Our Primary 6 and Primary 7 Gardening club members will be hosting a seed and plant sale on Thursday 30th<\/sup> March at 3.15pm at the main school gates, as they work towards completing their Level 5 award for the RHS Schools Gardening Campaign. This event will also be part of the RHS Big Seed Sow and you will also have the opportunity to sow your own seeds to take home. Mrs Cross, our parent helper will also be providing tea, coffee, juice, and cake. Any donations would be welcome which will contribute towards the Netherlee Budding Minds garden funds.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We are looking forward to a lovely event sharing the culture of our Netherlee community. We still need volunteers\u00a0to help make it all happen. Please click on the following link<\/a> to sign up to help us with setting up, tidying up, or to help in the refreshment area.
