Remembrance Day 2022

21st November 2022Mr M Hamilton

Primary were thrilled to be invited to Bill Quay Farm to join in their Remembrance Day service. Staff at the farm told us that our pupils were chosen because they always show respect, empathy and kindness towards others when completing our weekly Forest School sessions there. 
Pupils used their questioning skills to learn new facts from re-enactment staff, all pupils took turns to speak and listened attentively to their friends’ questions and the answers. Some of our pupils were given a demonstration from a volunteer of the equipment used during World War I.They learnt that the webbing was originally made out of leather but was changed in 1908!
Pupils listened respectfully to the Remembrance service alongside another school, and observed a two minute silence at 11 o’clock perfectly. During the silence,  pupils later told teachers that they had thought about all the people in the Armed Forces who have fought in conflicts around the world, in the past and today.
All of our pupils listened to the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae then placed our poems, pictures and poppy stones around the cross in the wood as a mark of respect.
Please let us know if you visit the farm and see our work there.

Gratitude Week’s Worthy Winners!

21st November 2022Mr M Hamilton

Gratitude Week’s Worthy Winners! 
Earlier this month, pupils across both sites took part in ‘Gratitude Week’. They had extra PSHE sessions to discuss things they were grateful for, used their impeccable manners to express their gratitude and completed a Gratitude Project. All entries were judged by our head teacher, Mr Gray, who chose a winning class for Primary and Secondary. 
Primary’s winning class was Blue Class. Pupils acted democratically to vote and then used the data to find the most popular choice of restaurant. The unanimous winner was Coleman’s for fish and chips. On Friday they all enjoyed their well deserved lunch. Paris wrote a thank you note for Mr Gray.

Children in Need

18th November 2022Mr M Hamilton

Children in Need Day is well underway here at Beacon Primary.

The children have practiced their fine motor skills with precision colouring and cutting, and used estimating skills to cut the correct lengths of string for their masks.

We think they all look great in their themed outfits and it’s a huge “Thank you!” from us all for the very generous donations we have received that will be passed on to 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!

Roald Dahl Day @ Primary

16th September 2022Mr Barnes

Primary are celebrating Roald Dahl Day today, and don’t we know it?!
We have Matildas, witches (they hide in plain sight, so can look just like ordinary people), BFGs and The Twits in school today. 
Mrs Simpson, our English lead, has worked with staff to develop a day of Dahl themed learning and activities to look forward to including a treasure hunt, reading tasks, fine motor skills activities and lots of cooking to develop D&T, reading and Maths knowledge. 
Our RESPECT values of teamwork, communication and excellence will also be demonstrated throughout the day.

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!

Commando Joe’s @ Primary

24th June 2022Mr Barnes

Commando Joe’s Outdoor Learning

Primary pupils consolidated their learning of forces to understand how to fill the water canons in outdoor learning. They then completed one of the Commando Joe’s RESPECT tasks – Cross the Swamp – demonstrating the Commando Joe value of ‘teamwork’ to earn water balloons. Any wrong answers meant that the teacher team got the balloon.

After that, all children listened carefully to the safety rules around wet play, before having a whale of a time in pupils v adults!

Teamwork is our Commando Joe’s value of the week, so please let us know if your child shows teamwork outside of school to earn Commando Joe extra ClassDojo points.
