Headteacher's Welcome We have had another super week in school! I have had the pleasure of visiting classrooms this week to see some of the learning that has been taking place. In Reception the children are really settled already, showing increasing independence, playing happily and following classroom routines. In Year 1 the children have been working like historians, investigating what seasides were like in the past. The Year 2s have quickly stepped into the role of setting a super example to everyone around school by following all of our rules and working with great determination and independence. Well done everyone - I am so proud of you all! |

Traffic Around School
It certainly is feeling like Autumn with the weather this week! With the rain seems to always come more issues with vehicles outside school. It is very concerning to see so many parents driving along the road outside school, blocking driveways, double parking, parking on the white lines etc - all of which cause congestion and create risk for our children. Please could we remind everyone of the following expectations and remind everyone to put the safety of all of our children first. Please, please, please ...

Just a quick reminder from the PTA about our next meeting which is on Tuesday 26 September at 7:45pm at the Florentine. Please get in touch if you’d like to get involved. Its very informal and there’s no commitment to come to every meeting. In fact you could just join our WhatsApp group and chip in to help as and when you can. Email us at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@

Notes from the Teachers Reception Phonics Talk This will take place next Wed 27th Sep at 9:00am. Please drop off your child as normal at their classroom between 8:40am and 8:55am. Once all of the children are in school and have been registered, parents will be invited to come in via the main gate to the hall. The meeting will last about 30 minutes. Information shared will be put onto the school website after the meeting. Reception Settling In Review Questionnaire As part of our on-going transition process we are keen to collect the views of Reception parents / carers and their children so that we can reflect on current practice. Our aim is to make the transition between pre-school and school as smooth and stress free as possible. Reception parents - please use the link below to fill in the questionnaire to help us collect your feedback. EYFS Settling In Review Questionnaire Y1 & Y2 - Fourth Friday Next Fri 29th Sep will be our first 'Fourth Friday'. This is an opportunity for parents to come into school from 8:40am to see their classroom and support their child with a learning activity. The bell will ring at 8:55am - at this time the parents are expected to leave the classroom promptly via the main gate. Year 1 Phonics Talk It was great to see some of you in school this week for our Y1 Phonics Talk led by Mrs Smith (with the super assistance of some of the Y1 Elephants children!) If you were unable to attend then you can see the information on the KS1 page. The Y1 children will also be bringing a leaflet home to explain how phonics is taught in school. Messages for Teachers Just a reminder that if you have a quick message e.g. about school pick ups, then the best way to communicate this is by sending a quick email to the office and they will ensure the message is passed on to class teachers. You can contact teachers via their class emails but these will not always be seen during the school day as teachers are busy teaching. The class email is the name of the class as follows e.g. bears@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk, koalas@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk etc |
