Headteacher's Welcome

I hope you all had a good half term. It has been lovely to welcome the children back into school this week. It has been lovely to hear about all the fun they had over half term. It has definitely felt very Autumnal this week and there has been great excitement as the children across school have been looking forward to bonfire and firework celebrations. It is always an exciting time of year which offers lots of creative learning opportunities across all areas of the curriculum.

School Values

This half term we will be focussing on the value ‘Kindness’. We will be teaching the children about how to show kindness to others both in school, at home and in the wider community. We will also reflect on whether behaviours are kind or unkind and how our actions and choices can impact the feelings of others. We will have some focussed assemblies about Kindness and all children will also be learning about it through part of their PSED sessions in class.

Children in Need 
Next Friday we will be supporting BBC Childrne in Need by raising money. 
We have chose to do 'Pyjamas for Pudsey'
Childrne are invited to wear their PJs to school and you can make a donation via our designated page.

WE NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE! Christmas Fair – Friday 27th November

 Our after-school Christmas Fair is now just 3 weeks away and preparations are in full swing! We’d love your support to make it a fantastic event for the children and the whole school community. There are lots of ways you can help:

Bake or buy for our cake sale – Please remember that we are a nut-free school.

Donate outgrown school uniform or festive clothing – Including Christmas jumpers, pyjamas and other seasonal items.

Stock our Elfridges store – Donate unwanted gifts in new or like-new condition, suitable for all the family. The children will have the chance to buy presents for their loved ones or perhaps choose a little treat for themselves!

Volunteer your time – We’ll need plenty of helping hands to run the Elfridges store, cake and book sales and, hopefully, serve some festive refreshments too. If you can help, please let us know as soon as possible via the PTA WhatsApp group or by emailing nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com.

 A huge thank you to everyone who has already offered to help or donate. Your support makes such a difference, and we really appreciate it!

JOIN US AT OUR NEXT PTA MEETING!

Our next PTA meeting is on Tuesday 10th November at 19:45 at The Florentine. If you’d like to help plan the Christmas Fair and other upcoming festive events, we’d love to see you there! Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need to commit to being a regular volunteer to come along. Whether you have ideas to share or can spare a little time to help, every contribution makes a difference. We’d love to see some new faces!

Notes from the Teachers 

Year 1 Request After half term, the children will be starting their new Science topic about plants. As part of their learning, they will all be planting a seed to bring home to continue to nurture at the end of term. Please can you send in an empty, clean jam jar during the first week back as we will be doing this session in the second week. Many thanks, Hannah Jones

Black History Month

Thank you so much for all your fabulous contribution - the children have produced some fabulous work at home and it has been great to see all the different books they have brought in written by black authors,   thank you! 

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. 

Road Safety Week takes place from 15–21 November this year.
