Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
This is such a busy and exciting time for our children and staff. As we approach the end of term, we have lots of events coming up for our children. Oh how time has flown!<\/p>\n
Primary One Events at Netherlee Primary School Welcome Morning Monday 12th<\/sup> June 1.45pm-2.30pm: P1 Pitch Party Please bring your child to the entrance of the pitch in front of the school at 1.45pm and we will escort them to their class. You then have 45 minutes all to yourself before collection time.<\/p>\n Please be aware that some of our Nursery staff will be taking children who are in Nursery that day to the pitch. Children will return with Nursery staff to their building and will wait there until collection time. Special Books For children returning to nursery in August, these books will then continue to be added to by the children themselves and also their keyworker and staff. For children leaving nursery to start P1, Special Books are an important and very useful tool in our \u201ctransition to school\u201d processes and these will be shared and discussed with your child\u2019s new P1 teacher. These will then, once again, continue to be added to in P1. As such, please ensure that your child\u2019s special book is returned to nursery as soon as you have finished reading through it. King Charles III Artwork All children have created a piece of artwork to mark the King\u2019s Coronation. These will be available at our nursery doors at drop off and collection for you to collect their artwork. To raise money for the nursery fund, in return for the artwork, we would be delighted and very appreciative if you could make a donation of \u00a33 in cash. All money raised will go towards the nursery fund, to help us pay for such things as ingredients for cooking, outdoor seeds etc. Thank you. The deadline to collect your child\u2019s artwork in return for a donation towards our nursery fund is Friday 16th<\/sup> June.<\/p>\n Celebrating Wider Achievements at Netherlee

\n<\/strong>Recognising and celebrating children\u2019s achievements is an integral part to the Curriculum for Excellence. We are always looking for new ways to recognise and celebrate our children\u2019s wider achievements out with Netherlee. As detailed in our Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy, during Celebrating Success assemblies each month, certificates are awarded to pupils who have really tried to uphold the Netherlee Values, for Effort and Progress and for Achievements within and out with school. For example, many of our children take part in extracurricular clubs and competitions, charity work or simply have learnt a new life skill. To help us celebrate as many children\u2019s achievements as possible.\u00a0 If you wish to share information about a recent wider achievement that your child has done, we would encourage you to complete the form below.<\/p>\n
