Before School Reminder – Yr 6

Please can we ask that Yr 6 children do not regularly arrive at school before 08:30am.

Children are unsupervised before 08:45am and there have been a number of children arriving at school well before this time.

Following a number of incidents this week, the children have been reminded that they are not to stand on the driveway for their own safety as this is used by cars right up until 08:30am. The areas for standing are clearly indicated by cones and we ask that children remain within these areas at all times.

Thank you.

 

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.

6B Beech’s Base

A quick reminder to class 6B to come to school dressed in forest school clothes on Wednesday, ready for Beech’s Base in the afternoon. Children will not be able to participate without wellies.

Many thanks,

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.

6K and 6J Beech’s Base Visits this Week

Due to the weather and amount of water in Beech’s Base – all children from 6K and 6J need to wear wellies. This weeks activities will take place partially in Beech’s Base and partially on the school field due to the ever changing weather conditions.
