Headteacher's Welcome It has been another busy week in school with visitors coming in to help bring learning to life for the children. Reception had a visit from Mrs Bun and the Gingerbread Man on Tuesday which was a fantastic way to explore the story. The children loved the retelling of the story with props and fun activities to follow and even had a visit from The Gingerbread Man himself! In KS1 the children are learning about 'Real Life Superheroes' and had a visit from Mr Sanderson who is a firefighter. The children had already thought of lots of interesting questions to ask him and he told them all about his job, the special clothes he has to wear and of course the fire engine! |

It has been a busy few weeks back!
Thank you to everyone who supported the Christmas tree collection even with the snow! HUGE thanks to parents Lu and Paul who went out and collected trees and raised an extra £393.06. Special thanks to Mark Oldham for allowing them to borrow his pick up!
Has your little one had a growth spurt over Christmas? Don’t worry we have lots of new items on our Grown Out of it site. Take a look now. Grown Out of It!
If you have any uniform to donate, please hand it into the school office. It all helps. We have raised £139.21 from second-hand online uniform sales this year.
Thank you to everyone who bought tea towels. We raised £415 and Santa’s visit raised £316.
We currently have £2500 in the bank. Mrs Hawkins has asked if funds can be used to spruce up the woodland and sort out the paths that have fallen away over the years.
We cannot do any of this without our volunteers. So if you would like to get involved with the PTA, we would love to have you! Our next meeting is at The Florentine on 28th January at 7:45pm.
We will be in touch soon about events this term. Date for the diary - Movie Night - Friday 28th February. If you have any questions or comments and want to get involved in the PTA please message us at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@

Active Homework
With so many cold winter days, the opportunity to be active outdoors is reduced. We wanted to continue to support our children to achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Each week we will be adding an 'Active Homework' idea onto the newsletter.
Animal Movers
 Print out the cards or display them on a screen. Take it in turns to choose one of the animals and do the corresponding moves. Why not play some music to dance to, or design and make some of your own animal mover cards!
