Headteacher's Welcome

I hope you have all had a good week. The children in Y1 and Y2 are loving learning about the Great Fire of London! They have been immersed in the learning about the historical story, writing all about what happened, creating some beautiful artwork and experimenting with making their paper look like real paper from the past! 

Have a look at some of the super learning...

Have a look at our Remembrance Installation - sadly the weather was rather wet last week so not many parents got to see how beautiful it was! 

Well done to the Year 1 and Year 2 children - it is gorgeous! 

Preschool Update
Spare Clothes
If you have any age 2-3, or 3-4 spare pants, socks, tights, leggings we would be very grateful to receive these. Also any waterproof trousers or coats (not all in ones) that your children may have grown out of would be helpful.  
January starters 
Please ensure you have  completed the admission forms for children starting in January. Booking for Breakfast and After School club will be open soon!  

THANK YOU!!!!!

BBC Children in Need!

Christmas Fair

The Christmas Fair will take place in just a couple of weeks on Friday 28th November, 3.30-4.30pm in the School Hall. We need YOUR HELP to deliver this PLEASE! There are lots of ways you can help:

  • Bake or buy for our cake sale. Please remember we are a nut free school. Cakes can be brought to the office from 8.30am on Friday morning.
  • Donate any outgrown school uniform or Christmas items (jumpers, pyjamas, etc) for sale.
  • Stock the Elfridges store! We need lots of kind donations of unwanted gifts in new or like new condition so that the children can purchase gifts for their loved ones. There is a box outside school / in the reception area to collect these.

Thank you!

 UPDATE: Christmas Cards

Well done for all the beautiful Christmas card designs! They have been received by Xmas4Schools and parents should have received an email and/or text message with a unique ordering link. There’s a quick turnaround – the deadline for orders is Wednesday 19th November. *If you sent artwork but haven’t received a link, please contact the PTA or school office ASAP.*

 PTA Projects

The play area at the back of the Kangaroos classroom is coming on well and the children are getting excited to start using it! Thanks to Mr Hopkinson for his work on this so far.

 The PTA are also going to fund some lighting outside the main gate, as it’s getting a bit tricky without this now the evenings are dark so early!

 If you’d like to join the PTA WhatsApp group or help us deliver any of the events, please let us know by contacting us at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com. Please do support us in any way you can.

Notes from the Teachers 

Contact with Teachers 

If you need to contact your child's class teacher you may email them using the class email which is the name of the class as follows e.g. bears@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk, koalas@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk etc

Please do not expect an immediate response as teachers are teaching all day and are not expected to reply to emails during evenings and weekends. For a quick chat you can wait at the end of the day. For urgent messages please contact the school office.
