We have made a booking with Scout Adventures Lochgoilhead (LGH) for 26th<\/sup> to 29th<\/sup> May and Liam from Lochgoilhead will be joining us to lead a presentation and answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n Children are welcome to come along to the meeting to find out about the residential week. We would ask that all children refrain from having their mobile phones out (if they have one) during this meeting.<\/p>\n After the meeting we will send further information in relation to the trip. We look forward to seeing you on 16th<\/sup> September.<\/p>\n As always, we are always here to help in any way we can, whether that be about your own child or a more general matter in relation to the school or nursery.\u00a0 We are also always looking for suggestions and new ideas so please don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch at any time.<\/p>\n Have a wonderful weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.

\nVolunteers – We Need You Please
\n<\/strong>We are always looking for new ways to involve our parents, carers and families in our school and nursery events. To support us with gathering a list of regular volunteers we would like to share our new volunteers Microsoft Form<\/a> with you. Some of our regular opportunities involve local walks, serving teas and coffees, parental speakers to visit classes, helping to keep our outdoor spaces and gardens tidy and helping in our school library. If you would be happy to volunteer as a one off or more regularly then please complete the form below and we will be in touch with you. There will always be a member of staff present with you too. There will also be QR codes located at the school office and near to our school gates where you can access the form anytime. Alternatively, our volunteering form can be found on our school and nursery website. Thank you so much for your continued support. We really appreciate it!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We understand that some children enjoy bringing small items from home to play with outdoors during break and lunchtime. However, these can sometimes lead to disagreements or fallouts, which may continue into the classroom. In addition to this, precious toys can get accidentally broken too.\u00a0 As a staff team, we have agreed that if children wish to bring in cards or small toys to play with outdoors, they are welcome to do so on Fridays only<\/strong>.\u00a0 However, I would like to stress that this is entirely optional. Many of our children are really creative at making up their own games and also love playing traditional activities such as TIG. We actively encourage this kind of play. In addition, all playgrounds are equipped with ropes, hoops and balance boards for the children to enjoy too.\u00a0 Thank you very much for your support.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>East Renfrewshire Council are gathering the views of pupils, staff, parents and carers on the use of mobile phones in school. Please click the links below to complete the survey.
\nParents and Carers<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The children have been busy in class designing their Cauliflower Cards and these will be sent home, along with an order form on Friday 19 September. You are more than welcome to create an alternative design at home with your child, if you wish.<\/p>\n
\nElectrification of the East Kilbride to Glasgow Line
\n<\/strong>As part of the East Kilbride Enhancement project, the railway line between East Kilbride and Glasgow is being electrified, and the overhead lines are now live and dangerous, carrying 25,000 volts of electricity. We, Network Rail, ask for your support in reinforcing this vital safety message with your children and encourage you to review the attached leaflet and poster. Further safety resources and materials are available at Network Rail\u2019s website<\/a>.

\nPrimary 6\/7:\u00a0 Concern Raised by Local Resident<\/strong> for Children’s Safety <\/strong>
\nI’m sure we all agree that the safety of our children is always of utmost importance and we are very grateful to our parents and also the local community for helping us with this.\u00a0 Please see an email below that I have received from a local resident that I would like to bring to your attention.\u00a0 We will also speak to the children in school and at assemblies about this too.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>P7 Residential Trip Information Session
