Children in Need

16th November 2022Mr M Hamilton

Friday 18th November is BBC Children in need day. 
Primary’s school council decided that they would like to get involved. They came up with lots of ideas for activities that we could do including a non-uniform day and a cake sale. 
All primary pupils are invited to come into school in non-uniform, the theme is Pudsey, yellow or spots.We appreciate a small donation for some cakes which the children will bring home to share with the rest of the family. All donations will be sent to BBC Children in Need.
Thank you for your continued support!

Outdoor Learning Day 4th November 2022

4th November 2022Lisa Burrows

We are celebrating National Outdoor Learning day at Primary today; every lesson is outdoors. So far we have had Maths and these are some pictures of the D&T lesson.  The children are making bird feeders and inventing things to help Wallace and Gromit.

As you can see, staff are always engaged in extending the learning through skilful questioning and direction. No wonder everyone loves to be at The Beacon Centre! 

We have ended our Outdoor Learning Day with a firepit party where the children are making – and eating – s’mores.

Our pupils learn all about fire safety in Forest School. Mr Popple is demonstrating how to safely access the firepit. Everyone else knows the rules and are sitting safely, waiting to take their turn.

What a wonderful end to a great day!

Gratitude Week 2022

4th November 2022Lisa Burrows

The Beacon Centre celebrated Gratitude Week between the 17th and 21st October 2022. Students took part in different activities exploring their gratitude for themselves, others, and their lives. During tutor times they completed activities including listing their favourite things, creating gratitude pizzas, considering what they love about themselves, writing thank you notes to others and recognising how their five senses can bring them joy. At the end of each day students completed a gratitude journal reflecting on the people/things that had made them happy.

Prizes were awarded to the Most Grateful Student and the Most Grateful Tutor Group at both the primary and secondary sites. The Most Grateful Students each won a £20 Amazon voucher and the Most Grateful Tutor Groups were treated to a lunch at a venue of their choice.

The winners were:

Primary:

Most Grateful Student: Mark

Most Grateful Tutor Group: Blue Group

Secondary:

Most Grateful Student: Leon

Most Grateful Tutor Group: Redwoods

Take a look at some of the amazing work our students produced!

Proudly Working Towards The Rainbow Flag Award

6th October 2022Mr Barnes

At the Beacon Centre we are Proud to be working towards achieving the Rainbow Flag Award.

The Rainbow Flag Award is a national quality assurance framework for primary schools, secondary schools, SEND schools and colleges. The award focuses on positive LGBT+, (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, plus other related identities), inclusion and visibility.

The Rainbow Flag Award encourages a whole organisation approach to LGBT+ inclusion, as well as developing strategies to effectively challenge and combat LGBTphobic bullying.

The Rainbow Flag Award is a commitment to improve the lives of all the young people that we work with, as well as the LGBT+ young people in our care, those from LGBT+ families, and LGBT+ staff members.

Outdoor Learning @ Primary

7th September 2022Mr Barnes

At primary, outdoor learning is a large part of our day. We have continuous provision and offer a range of adult led activities on a lunchtime. 
Everyone – especially the staff – have had a great time today with the parachute! 
Our children (and adults) have played a variety of games, taken turns, followed instructions and waited patiently. 

They have also practiced counting, gross motor skills and rhyming while they’ve played, and practiced fractions and teamwork when they folded the parachute away. 
Great job everyone!
