Beech’s Base – Head Teacher’s Award Children

Good Morning

Congratulations to the children who received a Head Teacher’s Award yesterday. These children are invited to Beech’s Base on Monday lunchtime, they can arrive in school uniform as time will be given to change. Hopefully you received your invite outlining what you need to bring but here is a brief reminder:

  • Wellies/Outdoor Footwear
  • Old clothing (Even though the forecast is looking warm children need to wear trousers and long sleeved tops to ensure they have a layer of protection from brambles and nettles)
  • Packed Lunch
  • Your invite
  • Optional waterproof trousers or all in one for water fun.

Children will change after their session, this can be into another pair of old clothes and footwear rather than uniform to save it getting muddy!

If you have any questions please email me: jeni.kuczynska@taw.org.uk

Many thanks

RE: Yr. 5 Residential Visit to Arthog Monday 7th – Friday 11th March 2022

Dear Parents,

I am writing to you regarding a residential visit to Arthog. This is now our Year 5 residential, and we have booked to take the Year 5’s in March 2022.

The visit is booked to take place from Monday 7th to Friday 11th March 2022.  During the visit the children will be taking part in a range of activities which will include, canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering, gorge walking and mountaineering amongst others.

The cost of the week will be £270. Children who are receiving free school meals or whose parents receive Child Tax Credit/Income Support will be eligible for remissions supported by the LEA.  Evidence of this entitlement will need providing with the first deposit. All payments are non-refundable.

If your child would like a place on the visit, you will receive a payment card.  This card needs to be handed in when making each payment so that we can confirm receipt. Please find a payment schedule below which will help to spread the costs of the trip.

By Friday 22nd October                            –          £70 (This will confirm your child’s place)

By Friday 26th November                        –          £70

By Friday 28th January                           –          £70

By Friday 18th February                          –          £60

If you would like your child to have a place on this residential, please return the slip below, with the first payment, by Friday 22nd October. At this point your child will receive their payment card. Please note, a late first payment/deposit may result in your child not being assigned a place.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I will arrange an information session for early Spring.

Yours sincerely,

Mr B Moody

Senior Leader

Earth Day Final Call

After receiving lots and lots of entries for the pumpkin and sunflower growing competition, showing the weights of the pumpkins via scales and the sizes of the sunflowers with tape measures etc – the deadline for entries is end of the school day on Wednesday (22nd). I will be announcing the winners during celebration assembly on Thursday (23rd!)

Many children have sent the confirmed images into school showing the scaled weight and the measured height as they would like to continue the growth of their plants – this we fully understand.

If their are any more entries then please send them directly to me via email; ben.moody@taw.org.uk
