What a busy week we’ve had in a Beech Class this week!

In maths, we have looked at properties of 2D shape, regular and irregular shapes and lines of symmetry.  

During music we revised tuned and untuned instruments and then went out to listen to the sounds around us.  We decided what was…

We hope you had a lovely Easter break and welcome back to the Summer Term.

This week in computing, we created pictograms about the types of houses we live in.  It is great to see how much the children have grown in both confidence and skill when using the laptops.

On Wednesday, we were…

We’ve had a lovely Holy Week in school.  We retold the events leading up to, and including, Jesus’ death and resurrection.  It was lovely to see how knowledgeable the children were about this important time in the Church year.  

On Tuesday, we took part in our Reconciliation service with…

The children have been working so hard for the past couple of weeks, finding out all about Neil Armstrong, Tim Peake and their missions to Space.

They continue to develop their space dance in PE and it is looking great!

We took part in the…

This week it was all about flowers. We have all planted a sunflower for our tallest sunflower competition. The children learnt what a flower needs to have the best chance of growing. I can't wait to see the pictures as they start growing. We also were so excited to find frogspawn in our pond this…

This week in Beech we celebrated National Story Telling Week.

Using the text ‘I am Nefertiti,’ by Annemarie Anyang, we wrote our own poems, a diary entry and non-fiction fact sheet. 

We performed some of our work in assembly. 
Well done Beech Class! 
 

This week I welcomed year two into the forest. We chose our forest school name then made a necklace out of clay and carved a picture to match our name. We learnt about the life cycle of a frog so that each week we can keep a look out for frogspawn in our pond.

We were delighted to welcome the NSPCC into school today. They delivered engaging and age‑appropriate workshops with Year 2, Year 5, and Year 6, all focused on staying safe and looking out for one another.

The sessions helped our pupils understand how to recognise unsafe situations, how to…

This week in Beech has been very busy indeed!

We have been trying out different axles for when we come to design and make our own Moon buggies.  It was lovely to see the children decide on the axle they thought would be the best.

Well done to the children that represented us in the multi…
