Headteacher's Welcome

It has been another busy week in school! The Y1 and Y2 children loved their visit from Mr Sanderson -  a Real Life Firefighter! They asked him lots of questions and really enjoyed learning about what life is like for a real firefighter!

THANK YOU for supporting the NGIS PTA Christmas Fair and Movie Night!

The Christmas Fair raised an AMAZING £510 for the school! This wouldn’t have been possible without such generous donations from parents and carers – THANK YOU!

 

We hope the children have a great time at movie night! We hope they enjoy the popcorn as much as the movie!!  

 

Reminder: Santa’s Grotto – Monday 15th December

There’s LOTS going on in school over the next few weeks but we think the MOST exciting event is Father Christmas’ visit on Monday 15th December! The children will get chance to visit him in his festive grotto in small groups during the normal school day. He will be giving them each a small gift! If you’ve missed the ParentPay deadline, please get in touch with the Office Team as soon as possible.

 

Please join us!

If you’d like to join the PTA WhatsApp group or help us deliver any of the events, please let us know by contacting us at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 20th January, 19:45 at The Florentine. We do really need some help to organise the upcoming events we have planned so would be most grateful if you could join and help!

Laura Whitaker from the Parenting Team is coming to deliver a Sleep Seminar on 20th January at 9am for refreshments to start at 9.15am. It will last for 90 mins. It will focus on supporting children who are or who might be neurodivergent.
