This year there is another exciting opportunity for 2 children in our school to be in charge of starting the fireworks at the Henleaze community firework extravaganza being held at our school on Saturday 9th November. In order to be in with a chance of having this prestigious role, children are invited to create their own firework picture on the template (or A4 paper if you do not have a printer at home) and to hand it to their class teacher by Tuesday 5th November with their name and class clearly written so that Mrs Fricker and Miss Quinn can judge the entries. Winners will be contacted on Friday 8th November with details on the arrangements. Please only enter if you are planning to attend the ticketed event. Firework Competition (click here to get a copy).
