Headteacher's Welcome It was lovely to welcome so many parents and carers into school on Tuesday for our Open Maths Morning. It was great to see so many taking part in the activities in the classrooms with their children. The children really enjoyed having the opportunity to share their super Maths learning with you. We hope you also found it a useful way to find out more about how Maths is taught in school. |

Messages from the Teachers Year 1 & Year 2 We are very busy designing and creating our 'Fabric Faces' as part of our Design and Technology topic this half term. Unfortunately, we are very short of buttons. If you happen to have any spare buttons which you no longer need, please send them into school with your child and hand them to their class teacher. It will be very much appreciated!

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. |

Attendance & Punctuality Holidays in Term Time Just a reminder that taking holidays in term time is against the law. School will not authorise time off during term time for holidays. It is also very challenging for children as they miss large parts of the intended learning that is taking place which can impact their progress and confidence. |

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.
Sports Indoors!
From cardboard-tube 10-pin bowling to bin-hoop basketball and frying-pan cricket, there are plenty of creative ways to play indoor versions of your favourite sports. Maybe, set up an indoor putting range using a small bouncy ball (or scrunched-up newspaper), a mug on its side for the hole and a broom handle as a golf club. With a little imagination (& some safety planning!) you can make lots of outdoor sports into indoor sports! |
