Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
Upcoming Events Chatter Caf\u00e9 If you would like to donate \u2018time\u2019 instead, we would really welcome volunteers to come along for \u2018chat and plant\u2019 on Friday afternoons between 2:30-3:00pm to improve and maintain our internal gardens and green spaces. We have exciting plans to use planters and tubs to bring some more colour and interest to our playgrounds (for humans and the insects that need a habitat). These planters and tubs will provide opportunities for children to observe and connect with nature on a daily basis, understand how to care for living things and possibly grow food and herbs that can be used to make healthy, delicious recipes in school!<\/p>\n Finally, if you have any business contacts or have skills yourself to build planters, please have a chat with Mrs Toman by dropping her an email to the usual schoolmail email schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk<\/a> and she will get back in touch.<\/p>\n We have already had several cutting donations handed ion this week- thank you so much for the donations received so far!<\/p>\n Community Information: Primary 1 Stay Play & Learn Workshops Primary 1 and 2: Toothbrushing Programme Primary 1-3: Clarkston Road Gate Primary 2b: Parent\/Teacher Meeting Appointments The first named contact on our system will receive a separate email from us at 4pm, advising how to book an appointment.

\nGrowing Together at Netherlee
\n<\/u><\/strong>The P7 Eco and Sustainability Group are looking for your help to support our mission to \u2018greenify\u2019 our school outdoor spaces. If you could please send in any cuttings of indoor plants on Mondays with your children, the Eco agents will collect these from classrooms on Monday afternoons.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Please find attached flyer<\/a> for HENRY Training for families that are running in Neilston and Barrhead.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Please find attached<\/a> the Childsmile tooth brushing consent letter for the upcoming academic year. Your child will be enrolled in the tooth brushing programme automatically. You do not need to do anything. However, if you do not want your child to take part <\/strong>in the Childsmile tooth brushing programme please contact us via email (schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk<\/a>) within two weeks <\/strong>of receiving this letter.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We are sure you\u2019ll agree that children are now more secure in the routines of coming into school through the Clarkston Road Gate and they know exactly where to go to get into the building and find their class. To allow children to enter the school grounds safely and to ensure staff on the gate can see the children when coming into the playground, we ask that you avoid standing at the gate area in Clarkston Road once your child has come through the gate.\u00a0 As you will appreciate, the gate area can be very busy and your help will really ease congestion and enhance safety for all. Thank you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>As detailed in my email last week, our upcoming Parent\/Teacher Meetings will be held on Monday 23rd<\/sup> September and Thursday 3rd<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u>First of all, well done to all our children who raced this week for a possible place in our P5-7 Cross Country team. We had over 150 children racing and times were FAST! As is always the case, some children didn\u2019t race for a variety of reasons e.g. \u00a0unwell, had an appointment etc. so we are really pleased to be able to provide another opportunity to run on Wednesday 11th<\/sup> September. This run is only for children who have not yet participated and all times recorded this week will remain. \u00a0This will again be at 12.35pm on the pitch. If this is not your child\u2019s P.E. day, they should bring their P.E. kit and will be given time to change before 12.35pm. We also require children to bring a change of footwear please.<\/p>\n
