Headteacher's Welcome The children had great fun this morning with their Sponsored Pyjama Pancake Toss! Thank so much for supporting this event with your kind donations. It has been an actioned packed term and I think it is fair to say that the children and staff are ready for a well earned rest! I hope you all have time for some quality family time over half term and hopefully we might see some sunshine at some point! (or at least not see any rain!)
Preschool Open Morning - Saturday 14th March 10am-12pm Please share the date with anyone you know who has a child age 0-3. We are now taking applications for next school year September 2026, January & April 2027. |

Sponsored Pancake Toss Today! We’ve had a great morning this morning supporting the children with their sponsored pancake toss. The children ran with their frying pan and pancake up the hall and back again, tossing their pancake at the end of their run, then passing it to their next team member until the time was up. They all had such a good time, the hall was full of happy faces and lots of cheering and encouragement from their classmates. Altogether the whole school managed to toss an amazing 862 pancakes! Such a lot of pancakes! Well done everyone.
We have had such an amazing response to our request for sponsorship and so far have raised over £2,300 which is absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much. This means we will be able to sponsor a children’s hospital lion cub. Our school will be able to design, paint and give a forever home to one of the cubs. The sculptures will go on display as part of a huge, free public art trail which is celebrating 150 years of Sheffield Children’s Hospital and raising vital funds to create a hospital environment built with children in mind – for today, for tomorrow and for the next 150 years. At the end of the trail, the lion and lioness sculptures will head to auction, and our cub sculpture will be returned to our school to stay and be looked after by everyone in the school. This is so exciting, thank you once again.
We're just finalising the following events to take place after half term:
Thurs 5th Mar - World Book Day - Book and cake sales plus children invited to dress as their favourite book character.
Thurs 26th Mar - Easter Egg Hunt - Children challenged to solve the clues and find the prize during school time!
Thurs 14th May - School Disco - Sparky Marky booked and more info to follow nearer the time!
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Pancake Day and have a lovely half term!
If you’re not on the PTA WhatsApp group and could help with any of the events, please do get in touch via email - nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com.

Notes from the Teachers Library Helpers Would you like to support us in enabling children to develop a love of books? We hugely value Reading for Pleasure and are fortunate to have a fabulous, well stocked library in the entrance area of school. It is lovely for children to be able to visit the library weekly to enjoy looking at the books and choosing one to take home. In order for this to happen, we rely on volunteers - this can be parents, grandparents or other volunteers. If you, or another family member, is able to volunteer for a session each week of about 45 minutes this could enable a class to have a valuable library visit. If you are interested please contact the school office. We are currently looking for a volunteer for the following classes:-
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. |
