    Term 4, Week 4

    Key dates 

    • In Week 4 (w/c 16th March), we will be using junk modelling to build some of the buildings we saw on our walk around Henleaze last week. We would be really grateful if you could bring in lots of boxes and other cardboard for the children to use. 

    • 16th - 27th March 2026 - Big walk and wheel week! We’re encouraging families to get active by walking, wheeling, scooting, or cycling to school. It’s a fun way to boost health and wellbeing for everyone!

    • Thursday 2nd April - Last day of school before the Easter Holidays.

    • Monday 20th April - Term 5 starts.

    Tapestry observation 

    The focus this week is Maths. We would like you to go on a 3D shape hunt. Send us photos of the 3D shapes you find.

    You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers. Click the links below to find out how to add observations from different devices.
