Headteacher's Welcome

It was lovely to invite so many of our Reception parents into school on Wednesday morning for our Maths talk. The children loved you coming into classrooms to join them for some of the fun maths activities too! If you were unable to attend you can see the Maths Information PowerPoint on the Reception page. 

October is...

A couple of updates:

 Superhero Dogs Day – Fri 16th Oct

• We’ll be kicking off the PTA events with a Superhero Dogs dress-up day raising money for both Support Dogs and the school. A letter with more information was sent on Fri 25^th Sep. We hope the children are enjoying planning their doggy outfits!
• Tea Towels – Order deadline Wed 21^st Oct
  A letter with more information about our tea towels, featuring the children’s self-portraits, was sent out on Wed 30^th Sep. Please place your orders via ParentPay by Wed 21^st Oct. Tea towels are £5 each, or 3 for £12, with a separate ParentPay option for each. They make lovely personalised Christmas gifts, as well as being a great way to support the school!
• Christmas Cards – Return to school by Fri 6^th Nov
  Children will have the opportunity to create their own Christmas picture at home, which can then be printed onto Christmas cards, keyrings, mugs and other items for you to order online directly from Xmas4Schools. Another lovely personalised Christmas gift idea! The templates and order form will be coming home in book bags shortly, so please look out for them! Completed forms will need to be returned to school by Fri 6^th November.

 And a few reminders:

If your child would like to choose and buy a cake in school after lunch, please pop 50p in their book bag. Any remaining cakes will be sold outside after school.
• Christmas Fair – Fri 27th Nov
  Plans are already underway! We’ll need quite a few volunteers to help with the Elfridges store, cake sales, book sales and, hopefully, some festive refreshments too. If you can volunteer, please let us know as early as possible via the PTA WhatsApp group or nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com. MANY thanks to everyone who has already been in touch.
