Our whole school focus is on words: reading them, spelling them, understanding them, saying them, listening to them, using them kindly and correctly.
James in class 2 has demonstrated that he is a wordsmith today who rises to meet our ever high expectations. Not only has he spelled all of his technical word spellings correctly, but he can give a definition and has correctly punctuated proper nouns.
Great job James!
Today was a special day for one of the children in Beacon Primary! It was Jack’s birthday!!
Happy Birthday Jack!
Gross motor skills are linked to many other key aspects of development:
All of these abilities help children participate successfully in activities at school, at home, and in the community. Linked gross motor skill development can have an additional impact on self-esteem and self-worth.
Both Beacon Primary and Beacon Secondary have put in place resources and activities to aid in the development of Gross Motor Skills in children and young people in our care. For instance at Beacon Secondary, weekly activities which involve balance, strength building and physical exercise are all designed to include elements are gross motor skill development.
At Beacon Primary, daily gross motor skill activities are set up to help the younger children to continue with the early stages of gross motor skill development. This includes obstacle courses, activities which focus on balance, dancing and co-ordinated playground play.
For those of you who don’t know. Beacon Primary has a new member of staff! Lyla!
Lyla is a 5 month old Cockapoo.
Lyla is here to help calm the children when they are upset and for them to read too. Children and staff love to take Lyla out for walks and to have her in class to see what the children are doing throughout the day.
Class 1 has a new theme for this half term, Space!
The class will be looking at all manner of things to do with Space, from the planets and solar system to both fiction and non-fictions books all about the great beyond.
In todays reading time, the class were very lucky to have Beacon Primary’s very own Lyla join them for their story. The story in question was How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers.
Over the next few weeks the children will once again produce a huge amount of fantastic work for their classroom display, which I can’t wait to see and to be able to update you all with.
Well done Class 1! (and Lyla!)
Until next time…. It’s one small step for man….. One, giant leap for doggy kind!
The children who are attending The Beacon Centre and are in Mr Popple’s class have begun their work on their new class topic.
This topic is Ancient Egypt! The children will be looking at all aspects of life in Ancient Egypt including its culture, geography and key events. They will be examining a range of non-fiction texts and producing some fabulous display work as always.
In this lesson the boys were looking at the key features of non-fiction texts, they were then able to list the features and talk about which ones they felt were the most important.
As always Mr Popple was on hand to help the boys with any issues they might have had.
Well done Class 2!

Staff will be making phone calls to all pupils today.
At secondary we will be starting the testing of pupils and consent forms will be issued to parents/ carers
