Every child will be bringing home a slip tonight which tells them about the clubs they have signed up for.

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

Fire Alarm

Parents and Carers

I am making you aware that our fire alarms were triggered just after 11am today.  The children were absolutely brilliant in evacuating the building promptly and safely and we are very proud of them.  Following inspection of the building the children were able to return to class.

Thank you to all of the staff for their support.  Special thanks to the lunch team who were able to make swift arrangements to ensure the children received their food on time (unfortunately the spaghetti bolognaise could not be ‘saved’ so nuggets and chips were offered for those who wanted a hot meal).

I have praised the children in assembly this afternoon and reassured them.
