All classes in our school and nursery had the opportunity to learn about the importance of biodiversity and the impact humans can have on our environment. We also had a focus on adding plant life and flowers to our greenspaces and playgrounds to provide habitats for pollinators and insects. Our Communications Team worked together to take photos of the amazing learning experiences which took place and we have created a Sway to share highlights from this event with you: <a href=\"https:\/\/sway.cloud.microsoft\/QlgN7e6lEk4wOgta?ref=Link\">https:\/\/sway.cloud.microsoft\/QlgN7e6lEk4wOgta?ref=Link<\/a>. We hope you enjoy looking at this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jotters Home<br \/>\n<\/strong>We hope that you enjoy looking at your child\u2019s literacy jotter. Please remember to pop it back in their schoolbag as they will need it on Monday in school.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary 1 Leadership Change<br \/>\n<\/strong>We have had a slight change to the leadership stage heads. Currently the stage head for Primary 1 is Mrs Angela Kerr, from Monday 11<sup>th<\/sup> November this will be Mrs Jackie Toman. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary 2 Food Hygiene<br \/>\n<\/strong>Over the next week, Primary 2 classes will be learning about food hygiene, preparation and cooking skills. We intend to use a variety of ingredients to make a delicious soup. If your child has any allergies that you have not already made us aware of, please let us know.\u00a0\u00a0 The proposed ingredients are: vegetable stock (used in our school kitchen and allergen checked already), potatoes, carrots, leeks and turnip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary 3 Leadership Change<br \/>\n<\/strong>We have had a slight change to the leadership stage heads.

She will start her new role on Monday 11<sup>th<\/sup> November and we\u2019re sure she will do a fantastic job! Your child\u2019s class will be taken on by Miss Erin Stevens, who has previously been a P5 teacher in Netherlee.\u00a0 Miss Elliott will continue to be in class for the full week next week with Miss Stevens to ensure a robust hand over for the children, and then she will continue to take the class 2 days a week (Thursday\/Friday) moving forwards. This should help to ensure continuity within the class.\u00a0 Miss Stevens is really looking forward to working with the children in P5b!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Primary 6 Movie<br \/>\n<\/strong>Primary 6 have been enjoying reading \u2018Wonder\u2019 by R.J Palacio in class and would like to watch the movie. The movie covers themes of anti-bullying and kindness and we feel that this experience would add value to the children\u2019s learning, as we will be able to compare and contrast the two types of media (book and film). We would like to watch this, week beginning 25<sup>th<\/sup> November. As \u2018Wonder\u2019 has a PG rating, we need to let you know that we would like to watch the movie in class. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school before the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> November.<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, Upcoming Events Please have a look at the parent calendar, available on our Netherlee Website, to see all the dates and times of the various events coming up. \u00a0This link will take you straight there https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/sandnc\/calendar.
