Netherton Infant & Nursery School

🪩✨ On Wednesday, we celebrated our wonderful Year 2 children with their Leavers' Disco, and what a fantastic evening it was! 🎉

The children had an amazing time dancing, laughing, and making special memories with their friends as they celebrated the end of their time with us. 💙

A huge thank you to our Year 2 parents for helping to set up the room and making it look so welcoming. A special thank you also goes to Zephan's mum for creating the beautiful balloon arch and for the fabulous cake, which the children thoroughly enjoyed eating today! 🎈🎂

We are so grateful for your support in helping to make this celebration so memorable. We wish all of our Year 2 children the very best of luck as they move on to their next adventure we are so proud of each and every one of them! 🌟

🌞 Lots of exciting things have been happening in school this week! 🌞

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Dixon's Ice Cream to school so that all of our children could enjoy a special treat. 🍦

A huge thank you to one of our wonderful parents, Heneghan Architecture, for kindly sponsoring this lovely surprise. The children were absolutely thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed their ice creams—especially in this warm weather! ☀️😊

Thank you for your generosity and for helping to make such happy memories for our children. 💙

🎉 Yesterday, our Nursery children celebrated their End of School Year Party, and what a fantastic day it was! 🥳

A huge thank you to the fabulous Nellie B for hosting such a fun-filled celebration. The children had the most wonderful time, with lots of giggles, smiles, dancing, and laughter throughout the day. 💛

To top it all off, everyone enjoyed a delicious Dixon's ice cream, which was the perfect treat to finish off a very special day. 🍦

We'd also like to wish all of our children who are heading off to Reception the very best of luck on their next adventure. We are so proud of each and every one of you and know you'll do amazingly well. 🌟

Thank you to all our wonderful children and families for making this such a memorable year. We hope everyone has a fantastic summer! ☀️🌈

Today, children took part in a very important assembly about staying safe near the water. Sue from The Canalside Trust came in to talk about water safety and what to do if there was an incident. All the children were fabulous at answering her questions and were particularly knowledgeable about cold water shock. These were such important message before we head into the summer holidays - well done everyone and thank you to Sue.

🎉🌈 More Crazy Hair Day Fun! 🌈🎉

We couldn't resist sharing a few more photos from Friday's Crazy Hair Day, this time featuring our wonderful Nursery children! 💙

Just look at those amazing hairstyles! 🤩 From colourful creations to wonderfully wild designs, they all looked absolutely adorable and had so much fun showing off their fantastic hair.

A huge well done to all of our families for getting so creative, and thank you for helping to make the day so special.

How cute do they all look?

🌿 Family Forest Picnic 🌿

On Saturday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new Reception starters and their families to our annual Family Forest Picnic, and what a lovely day we all had!

It was wonderful to see the children exploring, playing and beginning to make new friendships, while families had the opportunity to meet one another and our staff in a relaxed setting.

We have such a lovely new cohort joining our school this September, and we can't wait to get to know each and every one of them properly. We are so excited to watch them grow, learn and flourish into confident, happy little people during their journey with us.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the afternoon so special. We look forward to seeing you all again very soon!

What a wonderful day we've had celebrating Crazy Hair Day! 🎉💇‍♀️💇‍♂️

We have absolutely loved seeing all of the amazing, creative, and colourful hairstyles today. Thank you to everyone who joined in and made such a fantastic effort – it really brought lots of smiles and fun to the day! 🌈✨

We're delighted to share that we've raised around £384 towards Mrs Murphy's Bench. 💛

Mrs Murphy would have absolutely loved today and, knowing her, she would have outdone everyone with her incredible crazy hair design! She is loved and missed by us all, and we're so proud to be creating a special place in her memory. ❤️

Today's final Forest School session was a catch-up for the session we missed back in February. Instead of bad weather, we were greeted with scorching sunshine! It was far too hot to have a fire, unfortunately, so we enjoyed a picnic of marshmallows and biscuits instead, which went down a treat.

The children were encouraged to stay in the shaded areas of the forest, allowing us to enjoy a lovely, relaxed, and calm session. Many children chose to sit and do crafts, while others climbed trees or played with the new fairy house. It was especially lovely to spend one-to-one time chatting with the children and hearing all about their thoughts and experiences.

For our final reflection of the academic year, we talked about what they had loved most about Forest School over the many sessions they had attended. As always, their responses were thoughtful, heartwarming, and a wonderful reminder of the value of these experiences. It has been a pleasure to share another year of Forest School adventures with them.
