This week we will be starting to create our model of Henleaze High Street. Thank you to all of you have brought in boxes. We look forward to sharing the end result with you. This is a project that we will be working on as a year group.

Friday 9th December – Christmas parties, Thank you to those who have already signed up for bringing in food (this will be on patios) asking for you to contribute food towards this. Please remember we are a no nuts school. Also please name any containers you may use so that we can return them to you. Children can also wear party clothes and/or a Christmas Jumper to school on this day.

• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

Afternoon Session (Read):
Give instructions on how to draw something to the class and let them draw it – compare pictures. Why are they all different? It is important that you are very clear about what to do. Improve the instructions together. e.g. add in colours, size and prepositional language. Choose a child – show the rest of the class a picture but not the child who will then need to draw it from verbal instructions the other children give. (Could also do this in pairs if you wished.).
