Headteacher's Welcome We have had a great week in school this week. The children are coming into school so well in the mornings, settling quickly and it really is hard to believe they have only been in their new classes for 3 weeks! They really have had such a super start to the school year. For parents in Year 1 & 2, you will be able to pop into classrooms next Friday 27th for our first 'Friendly Friday'. The gate will open at 8:40am as usual and parents may join their child for a quick visit to their classrooms - parents are kindly asked to leave the building at 8:55am when the bell rings so the children can be registered. Parents are asked to leave the building promptly to ensure the register can be taken and learning can start. Friendly Friday sessions will be open to Reception later on in the year once teachers are confident that the children will cope with a change to routine. |

Hi Everyone,
The first PTA AGM & Planning meeting of the year took place on Tues 17th Sep, it was great to see so many new faces. If you couldn’t make the first meeting, the next one will be on 12th November at the Florentine, so please come along.
Last school year thanks to collective efforts of the PTA, parents, pupils and teachers the activities organised by the PTA raised a grand total of £10,969.56!! So this year the children of NGIS have a brand new sensory wellbeing garden, boosted computing resources, new football nets and two new outdoor shelters. You don't have to make a regular commitment but if you are able to support the fantastic work that our PTA do in any way, big or small, you really can help to make a big difference and we would love to hear from you: please contact us by emailing us on nethergreeninfantschoolpta@
After quick introductions and the formality of appointing two new co-chairs, trustees, a new secretary and review of last year’s accounts, we quickly got down to the important business of planning fun activities for the children, and there will be lots going on in the run up to Christmas!
We will be kick starting things with our much loved school uniform sale - now will be the time to pick up those extra jumpers (as we all know one is never enough!). This will take place 27th September before and after “Friendly Friday”.
Over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing our plans for exciting, new fundraising activities and what we’re planning for the children in NGIS. Two great ways to get involved would be to sign up to our school lottery and/or easy funding which means whilst you’re shopping you earn money for the school at no extra cost! Please see links below:

Our next meeting will be on Tues 12th Nov at The Florentine at 7:45pm - all welcome!

Cars Outside School This week a member of staff's car has been damaged whilst parked outside school - it looks like a car door may have been opened on the road, possibly to drop off a child - please do not 'drop and go'...please ensure you bring your child safely to the school gate. Please be careful around parked cars - this could have been avoided. |
