Thank you to all those who attended review meetings and parents evenings. It was so good to share your children’s progress and next steps with you.
Next week we will start to create the solar system in our classrooms and would love any donations of NEWSPAPERS.
We also need donations of tissues again as we currently have a great need!
Thank you

World Book Day Celebrations
Henleaze Infant and Junior Schools are collaborating on this Wednesday, 6th March to mark this year’s World Book Day. To celebrate this day which acknowledges the importance of reading for pleasure, we have some exciting events for you to join in with:
- Dress up as your favourite book character!
- Join in for Mrs Wood’s Wake and Shake from 8.30am on the Infant playground (please note this is weather permitting and all children MUST be accompanied by an adult and then taken to their classrooms for the usual 8.45am start time). Juniors welcome too!
- Bring in a printed photo of you ‘Reading Your Way. This could be reading a favourite book or reading in a favourite place, or perhaps reading whilst eating your favourite snack? It’s up to you how you show ‘Reading Your Way’.
- Take home your World Book Day book token to redeem a book from many high street stores and supermarkets.
More information about World Book Day including how to redeem your token and support to encourage reading at home is available here: https://www.worldbookday.com/families/
