Hello everyone<\/p>\n

Home Learning Letter
\n<\/strong>Please see letter<\/a> regarding the Home Learning Policy.
\n
\nIntroducing Netherlee\u2019s NEW Chatter Caf\u00e9 (Wednesday 5th<\/sup> October 9.15- 10am)
\n<\/strong>We always strive to have excellent ways for you to get in touch with us and we have therefore introduced termly drop in sessions for any parent from nursery or school who would like to pop in for a coffee and chat with the Leadership Team. Some of our pupils would love to serve you a juice or a coffee\/ tea and there may even be some of their delicious baking there too. This is a very informal opportunity to chat to us. You maybe have an idea or a suggestion on any aspect of Netherlee life or you may have concerns or looking for some advice.\u00a0 Our PTA will also be with us so you can find out about the PTA or volunteering in school and nursery too or even if you just fancy a quick coffee and a chat with some other parents!\u00a0 We will also have the recycled uniform rails available to browse as well. We look forward to welcoming anyone who has a spare few minutes on the date and time above.<\/p>\n

Gardening and Cooking <\/strong>
\nOur school gardening and cooking exploits have hit the ground running this term and we are very grateful to a number of businesses for providing us with their invaluable support, providing us with both kind donations and materials. A big thank you must go to Robert Findlay Stone Masons, Greensleeves, Ocean Plastic Pots and Kilduff Farm. We are all very appreciative.<\/p>\n

Jubilee Books<\/strong>
\nAll ERC schools ordered the Queen\u2019s Jubilee books some time ago.\u00a0 These are a free gift to all children and have now arrived, coming home with your child today.<\/p>\n

Save A Life Day
\n<\/strong>Many of you will be aware that we have held very successful and enjoyable Save a Life Scotland events in previous sessions, aimed at equipping our children with basic cardiac resuscitation (CPR) skills. Save a Life Scotland supports the training of people of all ages in \u201cbystander CPR\u201d techniques, which can make a vital difference in emergency situations. We now plan to reintroduce this as an annual event. This year\u2019s Save a Life Scotland Day will take place on Friday 7th<\/sup> October.\u00a0 <\/strong>Once again, it will be led by one of our parents (a consultant in emergency medicine) and a team of fully-trained NHS professionals; we are deeply grateful to them for their dedication and expertise.<\/p>\n

Children in Primaries 5 \u2013 7<\/strong> will use NHS dummies for the CPR training. Younger children manage better when using smaller models, and for this reason we would like to request that on the day of the event, Primaries 1 \u2013 4 bring one soft toy into school<\/strong> (if possible). There are no restrictions on the type of toy but, ideally, the toy should be approximately 30 \u2013 40 cm in length.<\/p>\n

We are delighted that our nursery children will also have the opportunity to take part in this event too, led by some of our senior pupils, who will be able to share their learning from their training that day.\u00a0 Nursery children do not need to bring in any soft toy though.\u00a0 You can find more information about Save a Life Scotland on the website.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.savealife.scot\/<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

Whilst we feel that these skills are important for our children to experience and develop, we also recognise that some of our children may potentially, for personal reasons, find this activity upsetting.\u00a0 If you therefore wish to discuss this in relation to your own child, please don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with us so that we can help and work this out together.<\/p>\n

P2 Maths Week
\n<\/strong>As part of Maths Week Scotland, Primary 2 are going to explore sound and music and how different sounds can be made by adding different volumes of water. If possible, can your child please bring a small pot or pan <\/strong>to school on Wednesday 28th<\/sup> September, along with a wooden or plastic spoon? These will be returned home of course.<\/p>\n

P5 Food Tasting<\/strong>
\nThe children in Primary 5 have been learning about Rosh Hashannah. As a class, we have decided we would like to taste apples drizzled with honey, which is a popular dish served during this time.<\/p>\n

P5b and P5d will try this on Tuesday 27th<\/sup> September.
\nP5c will try this on Friday 30th<\/sup> September.
\nP5a will try this on Monday 3rd<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n

Please advise us if there are any changes to the allergy information we hold for your child or if you wish your child not to try this. Many thanks for your support.<\/p>\n

P7 Vision Screening Letters<\/strong>
\nChildren will be bringing home consent letters for P7 vision screening today. Please check their schoolbags. These require to be returned by Friday, 7th<\/sup> October please.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a reminder that school and nursery will be closed tomorrow and Monday. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school again on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
