Headteacher's Welcome

It has been another busy week in school. The Y1 children are starting to learn their songs and lines for their nativity - it is sounding great!  The children have been enjoying all of our outdoor spaces - Butterflies have been having a great time in the Woodland! 

Christmas Fair Today - 3:30-4:30pm

Instructions for Parents

  1. Collect your child as usual then wait in the playground.
  2. Once all children have been collected we will open the hall door - enter via hall door.
  3. The hall will be set up with a one way system for you to move around and visit the stalls.
  4. Exit via the hall door and main gate.
  5. Please try to bring cash where possible as we only have one card machine!

Preschool Update

THANK YOU for supporting the NGIS PTA Christmas Fair! We hope you enjoy the fair and it starts to get everyone in the festive mood! We’ll let you know how much we raise for the school next week.

 

Reminder: Christmas Movie Night – Friday 5th December, 5-6.30 pm

We will be showing the appropriately festive Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas at Christmas movie night next Friday! The ParentPay deadline was yesterday (27th November). If you’ve missed this but your child would like to attend, please get in touch with the Office Team ASAP.

 

PTA Projects

The play area at the back of the Kangaroos classroom is coming on well and the children are getting excited to start using it! Thanks to the Year 1 team and Mr Hopkinson for his work on this so far.

 

The PTA are also going to fund some lighting outside the main gate, as it’s getting a bit tricky without this now the evenings are dark so early!

 

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

Notes from the Teachers 

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.
