Hello everyone<\/p>\n
School Uniform Update and Reminders As we are at the end of the first term, I feel that this is an appropriate time to highlight a couple of important points:<\/p>\n Again, I would like to stress that the above points only relate to very small numbers of children and overwhelmingly our pupils come to school every day fully supporting the uniform policy in its entirety.\u00a0 I do therefore hope you can see the reasoning behind these two points however, like always, I am happy to discuss this with anyone who would like further discussion- please just give me a call on 0141 570 7260. Thank you again for supporting myself, the teachers and the school with, what seems like a very positive, progressive step.<\/p>\n Book Week Scotland – Book Sale<\/strong> Wooden Planters- What a Lovely Surprise- Thank You! Recycled Donations Acorns, Conkers, Feathers, Pine cones, Pebbles, Shells, Sticks, Small bits of wood, Small stones, Twigs\u2026.<\/p>\n Parent Council Meeting<\/strong> PTA Events<\/strong> All volunteers, new members are welcome to come along and join the PTA so if interested please email netherleepta@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n P4-7 Cricket Club<\/strong> P5 Football Club<\/strong> P6 Karate Club<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Our adapted uniform policy, which introduced children wearing our PE uniform to school on PE Days, is going really well.\u00a0 Overwhelmingly, both children and teachers feel that it makes getting ready for PE much more efficient with no time being wasted on getting changed etc.\u00a0\u00a0 Combining this with outdoor learning time on PE days is also working out very well too, helping children to be appropriately dressed for being outdoors.<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Please see letter<\/a> regarding Book Week happening in school between 14th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> November.

\nWe would like to give a huge thank you to the 91st<\/sup> Netherlee Cubs and Mr McHale for making and delivering two wooden planters to us. As part of their DIY badge, the children made the planters from recycled pallets. They look fantastic! The P4 Gardening Club are really looking forward to planting in them to brighten up our outdoor spaces! Thank you once again for this kind contribution.

\n<\/em>Expressive Arts<\/strong>
\nDo you, or someone you know, have a skill in art, drama, music or dance, that you would be prepared to come in and share with our children? If you do, please get in touch with Mr Bryce who would be delighted to discuss this with you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Thank you so much to everyone who kindly donated recycled items last week. This week we would gratefully receive any natural loose parts<\/strong> from our wish list below. Loose parts are any materials which can be combined, redesigned, lined up, taken apart and put back together in different ways. 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 from the 25th<\/sup> October. Many, many thanks.<\/p>\n
