The children were discussing the adults who help them in school, at home and the wider community. As we have stated in our previous Friday Bundle, \u2018People Who Help Us\u2019 is our current context for learning within Social Studies.<\/p>\n<p>We are on the hunt for pre-loved <strong><u>role play and small world items<\/u><\/strong> (<strong>please note \u201csmall world\u201d means very small items) <\/strong>related to this topic to support imaginative play. These are items that you would otherwise be throwing away that we can use to refresh our resources in the Open Area. For example, this may include police hats, stethoscopes, fire service helmets to name but a few!\u00a0 In addition, we are also looking for any donations of <strong>emergency service small world toys<\/strong>, such as small police cars, fire engineers, life boats etc. If you have, and are finished with, any of these types of items, please place any donations into a bag and leave this in our Recycled Donations Box situated at the main school office entrance or in a carrier bag and given to the class teachers. Many, many thanks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it is always interesting for the children to find out about professions in a real life context. We are welcoming parent and carers who would be willing to volunteer to come to the school to share information about their job and how they help the community. If you have a profession you think you could share with the children please do let us know. For example, this may include a visit from the fire service to discuss their role in keeping our community safe. If you think this is something you could help with, please drop us an email on <a href=\"mailto:schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk<\/a> or give Jennifer McCann (Principal Teacher) a call on 0141 570 7260 to discuss in more detail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary 6 Library Club<br \/>\n<\/strong>An after school P6 School Library Activity Reading &amp; Book Club at Netherlee will be starting on a Monday 30th October 2023 from 3.15-4.15pm.
