Dear Families,
After School Club Update
We have had a lovely start to the school year at After School Club, welcoming back lots of familiar faces and meeting some new ones too. Making the most of the weather and play space, the children have enjoyed spending lots of time outside – especially using our new tree swings! They have also been putting on fashion shows, dance competitions and playing all sorts of games with parachutes. Inside, children have been joining in our various daily activity, which so far included making masks, junk modelling, painting and clay.
The new reception children have settled in well and have been well looked after by our keyworkers, Gee and Sam. They are already making friends with children from other years, gaining confidence moving around the club independently and choosing how they spend their time. Elsewhere around the club children have enjoyed writing silly stories on the typewriters, creating big ramps with car track and using a tape recorder to conduct interviews!
As we move into the colder and wetter months, we will still be making outside play available at all times, so please make sure your child comes to After School Club adequately prepared.
School’s Out AGM 2021
Our AGM is on Monday 8th November at 7:45 for an 8pm start. As members of Schools Out Henleaze you are all invited. It will be held in the dining room of Henleaze Infant School, Park Grove, BS9 4LG.
You will find out more about After School and Holiday Club, how it is run, and who helps behind the scenes. Refreshments are provided. Please let the administrator know if you would like to attend.
The AGM is also the perfect time for those who’d love to join our wonderful Committee!
Nominations are invited from parents using the scheme(s) for all posts. Please ask for nomination forms from the administrator admin@schoolsouthenleaze.co.uk. It would be helpful if completed nomination forms could be returned in advance of the meeting, although nominations will be accepted at the AGM.
Holiday Club
We are all looking forward to a week of fun at October Holiday Club next week. We have planned some exciting seasonal activities for the children to enjoy, including Halloween-themed games and biscuit decorating, and some autumnal arts and crafts. There are a few spaces left, please pay at the time of booking either voucher of credit/debit card. Thank you.

Lost Property
Last call for Summer Holiday Club lost property! Please contact Liam via email (deputya@schoolsouthenleaze.co.uk) if you think we might have something of your child’s. We will be donating any unclaimed lost property to charity at the end of the week, on Friday 22nd October.
Healthy Eating
As part of our OFSTED target, we are asking that parents and carers work with us to ensure their children are coming to After School Club with healthy snack choices across the week. We are currently able to provide a piece of fruit to those children who come without a snack. More information and snack ideas can be found in our Packed Lunch and Snacks policy, here.
Please also remember not to include any nuts or sesame products, to help us keep all of our children safe.
Absence
We understand that there are many reasons why children might not attend After School Club, but if your child goes to the Junior School, we will not get any messages from the office or teachers regarding their absence. This means it is important for parents and carers to text the ASC phone number to inform us of any absences in advance. ASC mb: 0784 7479 626
