Noticeboard
Please could you start sending in boxes (cereal, toothpaste, delivery etc.) for our mini project where as a year group we shall create a model of Henleaze. We need a range of different sized boxes. We will be starting our models in Week 5.
- If your child is currently a member of the KS1 choir then they have been invited to take part at the Henleaze Fayre on Wednesday, the 1st December, next week. They will be singing at 4pm. Information should now have been sent out to those who this applies to.
Last week your child will have brought home a book mark. Click the link to find out more about how to support your child with this at home.
Next week, it is National Road Safety week. Please click here and share the slides with your child. We will be discussing Road Safety in school during Week 4. We encourage you to reinforce road safety messages when crossing roads with your child.
- 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.
