Beech’s Base

Thank you so much to Miss Lockwood and Miss Whitehouse for 6B’s session at Beech’s Base on Wednesday. The children had the best time building trebuchets on the school field. This fit in with our topic of ‘angles’ in maths and looking at Tudor weapons.

Stationery

Please can we remind children to bring in their own stationery. A lot of children have returned to school after the Christmas break without glue sticks, scissors, blue pens, rulers, green pens etc. All children’s stationery should be in a named pencil case.

Many thanks,

Year 6

6J Beech’s Base Reminder

6J will be in Beech’s Base on Wednesday 10th January 2024.

Children are welcome to come to school in their forest clothes and bring a spare change with them if they wish. Alternatively, they can also attend in uniform and change into their forest clothes at lunch time.

This week they will be making their own trebuchets using natural materials as part of their work on The Tudors.

Please be advised, the field/forest has been affected by the recent weather, so children are told they must bring wellies with them as trainers would not be suitable.
