It has been another great week in school. It has been lovely to have some sunshine and it feels like we are finally waving goodbye to the cold weather! The children have been enjoying using all our outside spaces and have welcomed the changes to playtime activities that were prompted by the whole school survey led by the School Council including activities set up by our Little Leaders. A big thank you once again to the PTA who have very kindly paid for another set of Bee Bots to support our Computing Curriculum - this means the children can work in much smaller groups and therefore the learning experience is much more interactive for everyone. Thank you PTA!

ROAD SAFETY OUTSIDE SCHOOL! This week one of our parents actually ran over one of our Road Safety child size signs as they drove off - we are very pleased that it was just a cut out of a child and not a real one - PLEASE TAKE CARE!!! Please don't wait for a child to get hurt before changing habits! |

NEXT THURSDAY 16TH MAY - SCHOOL DISCO!
 It's nearly time to get those dancing shoes on as Sparky Marky will be in the house next Thursday 16th May, 5.30-6.30pm! Thanks to all who have signed up. Reminder that parents are not allowed to stay unless they are volunteering as part of the PTA. Please keep your eyes peeled for the email from Mrs Hawkins next week that will detail drop off / pick up arrangements.
YEAR 2 LEAVERS BOOK We are in the process of creating a commemorative yearbook featuring photographs as well as your child's best memories of their time at school. The deadline for voluntary contributions and permission via ParentPay is Friday 31st May. FRIDAY 21ST JUNE - NGIS SUMMER FAYRE: CALL FOR RAFFLE PRIZES!
Please save the date for our NGIS PTA Summer Fair! They'll be a bouncy castle, games galore and a brilliant BBQ to keep all the family entertained at this after school event. Fingers crossed the weather stays bright!
Once the school disco is out the way we will be sharing more details and making a few (small) requests. In the meantime, our focus is on securing a fabulous line up of prizes for our raffle so there's something everyone will want to win - and lots of chances! So if you, your work or someone you know has anything, big or small, they'd like to put forward, we'd love to hear from you!

Notes from the Teachers Reception - Morning Drop Off As we move closer to the end of the school year we always like to prepare children in the best way possible for September. We would therefore like to encourage Reception children to start coming into school independently by saying goodbye to their grown ups at the gate ready for Year 1. From next week we will have some of the Reception staff ready to welcome children into school at the gate. We know that some children will adapt to this more quickly - please let us know if your child needs some support with this.
September 2024 The summer term is always a busy one and we are already starting to look ahead to September. Teachers will soon be thinking about organising classes for September. We find it to be a really positive opportunity for the children to make new friends and build relationships with others in school. We don't ask parents to nominate friends for their new classes as we know that by this time in the year the teachers have a really good idea of how well the children work together and who they spend most of their social time with. We do though, invite parents to share any significant information that you would like us to take into consideration when organising classes. If you do have anything you would like us to know please email your child's class teacher. Foundation Stage Reception children will be going to the Butterfly house next week - please remember to send a packed lunch (if you haven't ordered a school grab bag), a rain coat and apply sun cream if needed. Reception Overview - Minibeasts The Weekly Newsletter is available on the school website by following this link: Reception Weekly Newsletter
Messages for Teachers Just a quick reminder that you are more than welcome to speak to class teachers at the end of the day if you have quick questions. The class email is the name of the class as follows e.g. bears@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk, etc |
