The students sampled food from all around the world and were very full afterwards.
Bonfire Night and Darker Nights Safety
Parents, our school has been working closely with Police and other partners in the lead up to Halloween and Bonfire Night, this is to ensure that everyone enjoys this period safely. Police Officers have been in attendance in all schools in the area speaking to students & making them aware whilst this time is full of excitement, it can also be a frightening period for other members of the community .
In previous years the school has worked with the Police with teachers going out on patrol to provide support and engage with youths who they are familiar with . This is something we will be replicating this year with the concerns of our students paramount as always.
Please advise your child to enjoy this period but to also be considerate to the local community as Police will be enforcing the law around antisocial behaviour.

‘Love the lurking ghosts waiting to be found… love to Connor from me.’

This is Tyler’s eye catching poster.
Something spooky is going on down in Class 2 at The Beacon Centre Primary. Our Children have been learning about the reason we have Halloween, and getting ready for Friday’s celebration.
Connor has done his illustration of Halloween complete with speech bubbles for that extra effect!
Yet another Halloween based piece of work! Tyler in Class 2 could tell me the date of Halloween, and the name of the day afterwards. He accessorised his poster with the scariest face imaginable!
