Headteacher's Welcome We have had a super week in school this week! The children had a fabulous time on Tuesday taking part in the Chinese New Year Dance workshop. They enjoyed learning about how people will be celebrating the Year of the Snake and and learnt some fabulous dance moves with some great props. You can see some more photos on the school learning gallery. |

PJ Day and Cake Sale – Fri 14th Feb A reminder that the Valentine’s Day cake sale and Theo’s Pyjama Day is next Friday!
Any donations of cakes, buns and biscuits (baked or bought) would be gratefully received and can be brought to the office from 8.30am on Friday morning. They can also be dropped off on Thursday (13th) before school pick up if that works better. Please remember we are a nut free school. If you are making home baked goods, please attach a list of ingredients to the named container. Each class will be invited to choose their cakes after lunch. If you’d like your child to buy one, it would be great if you could pop 50p in their book bag. We also invite parents to buy any remaining cakes after school, outside from 3pm. Please ensure children with allergies have their cake clearly labelled.
The Theo’s Pyjama Day is to raise money for The Sheffield Children’s Hospital. If you would like to support this, please let your child choose their snazziest pyjamas to wear to school! (Please make sure they are warm enough for a normal school day as the children will still be going out into the playground.) Donations can be made via our donation page here. We would love to meet our target of £150. Other imminent activities are: Feb Half Term – Sponsored Read Fri 28th Feb – Movie Night (remember to book via ParentPay) Wed 5th Mar – Uniform & Book Sale Thank you for your continued support! The PTA Team If you have any questions, comments or want to get involved in the PTA, please message us at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@

Reception Parents After half term the Reception children will be learning about 'People Who Help Us'. In week 1 (w/c 24th Feb) we will be learning about medical professionals. If you work in this area and would be able to come in and talk to the children about your job then please speak to Mrs Hunter or Mrs Keeling.

For a quick chat you can wait at the end of the day. For urgent messages please contact the school office. |

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.
Hopscotch DIY!
Hopscotch is a fundamental movement skill, which helps children access a whole range of sports. Whatever the weather, you can make a DIY hopscotch. From drawing on the garden floor area with chalks, to making your own indoor hopscotch from old cardboard boxes (see image), you can have lots of fun and develop vital physical skills. |
