3PW BEECH’S BASE 08.05.24
Just a reminder that 3PW will be at Beech’s Base all day on Wednesday next week – 8th May. Please remember to send children in scruffy clothes suitable for the forest. They must have a spare pair of shoes also. Thank you!
Keeping Our School Safe….
Please can we ask that parents/carers do NOT bring dogs onto school site at drop off and collection times. Please do not put our staff in the difficult position of asking you to remove them.
We fully support children scooting and biking to school: amazing for the environment, safe travel and physical health. We do ask that children do NOT ride bikes or scooters on school site due to the volume of pedestrians and the risk this poses. We would appreciate your support in ensuring children do this.
5M Beech’s Base Date Change
Due to a change in schedule, 5M will be in Beech’s Base on Friday 10th May, NOT Tuesday 7th May. Thanks very much!
Yr 6 Photography Competition
We are pleased that we will once again be offering all Yr 6 children the chance to take part in the Deer Park Photography Competition taking place on Friday 24th May.
We will be taking the children to Chetwynd Deer Park where they will spend either the morning or afternoon working with a professional photographer, who will teach the children how to take the best possible photos; children will then be given time to capture as many images as they can. They will then be able to enter their best photo to be put forward to the Newport Show judges; prizes are usually awarded for the top 3 entries.
All the information should be contained within the attached letter. As ever, if you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
Avenue Road and St Nicholas’ Park….
A resident has been in contact with the school on behalf of residents to raise a concern about parents and carers parking across driveways and on double yellow lines. Families have also been reported to have been walking on private gardens.
Please can we ask that our school community is considerate of our neighbours and that we make safe and considerate choices about travel to school. The residents are stating they will report concerns, with evidence, to the Police and Enforcement Officers.
Only this week Travel Telford have been in school speaking to the children about the benefits of Active Travel to school. It would be great if parents and carers could support children with finding opportunity for active travel to school by bike, scooter or walking.
Most of all let’s work together to keep our local roads safe for our children on their journey to school.
Beat the Bell REMINDER!
