Headteacher's Welcome

 This week we have seen our Y1 children excel in their Nativity performances! They were absolutely brilliant! Well done to all our amazing singers, dancers and storytellers - they performed with such confidence. It was a joy to watch and I am very proud of all of them. Huge thanks to our staff team who have worked so hard to ensure every detail was considered to create such a fabulous performance for us all to enjoy!

Illness in School

 As you may be aware there have been lots of germs circulating recently and we have had lots of children (and staff) who have been poorly over the last few weeks. Please see the attached guidance from the UK Health Security Agency for the Yorkshire and Humber region which gives further advice. We all want to get to get to Christmas feeling fit and healthy and able to enjoy this special time - hopefully if everyone follows this advice it will help stop these nasty germs from spreading further.

Healthy Elfie - Selfie Challenge
We would like to invite our children and their parents/carers to take part in a holiday 'Healthy Selfie' challenge with a Christmas twist! 
The 'Elfie-Selfie' challenge is here!
We would love for the children to take a selfie photo to show an aspect of 'health and fitness' that they undertook during the Christmas holidays. And of course it can feature your Christmas Elf, or indeed any other exciting healthy activity you took part in during the holidays.
This could be anything from some fun physical activity, taking part in a sport, making a healthy snack or even something you have done to positively affect your mental health! We will show the children their photos in assembly once we are back at school.
Please email your Healthy Selfie photos to enquiries@nethergreen-inf.sch.uk.
