• Belonging

  Fri 13 Sep 2024 Mrs Gourley

  This half term our focus character virtue is ‘belonging’. The children are currently being supported to settle into their new school or new class, and have contributed to their class rules that allow everyone to be 'happy, safe and loved'. 

   

  We want all of our children to feel confident to be themselves and show their individuality, with the reassurance that they will be accepted and valued in their new Beech Hill community. We would love to know more about the children and the different communities to which they belong. 

   

  Home Challenge

  We would like the children to draw a picture, share a photo or write about the different communities that they belong to. Examples of different communities- -Family -Local community/area -Club or sporting group -church or religion.

   

  The children’s work will be shared with their class to support the children and teachers to get to know one another even better.

   

  Many thanks,

  Mrs Gourley

• Spelling Bee

  Fri 22 Mar 2024 Mr Rowlands

  In our main hall this morning, children have been taking part in our Spelling Bee! Six children from each year group from Y1 to 6 were been picked to represent their year group.  

   

  After hours of competition, it all boiled down to six finalists, one from each year group.

   

  Brody, Harlie, Masroor, Dolly, Ryan and Aryan were the six finalists.

   

  In the end, it all came down to a showdown between Masroor from Year 3 and Harlie from Year 2. 

   

  And Masroor was the winner! 

   

  We're so proud of everyone who took part - you all showed what amazing spellers you are.

• NHS Healthier Together

  Fri 08 Dec 2023 Mr Rowlands

  There is a new website from the NHS called Healthier Together. 

  https://www.nenc-healthiertogether.nhs.uk/

   

  We think you will find this website useful as it gives advice on things like whether you need to keep your children off school or not if they are feeling unwell. 

   

  This page provides a helpful chart of green, amber and red which shows which illnesses you can go to school with, and those which require your child to stay off. 

   

  https://www.nenc-healthiertogether.nhs.uk/parentscarers/worried-your-child-unwell/child-unwell-ok-go-nurseryschool

   

  There is also helpful information on the website about a range of matters including measles and high temperatures.

• School Dog

  Fri 17 Nov 2023 Mrs Eatock

  Dear Parents/Families,

   

  As you may know, we are lucky enough to have a new addition in  school in the form of another English Springer Spaniel, just like our much loved current school dog, Ted. Like him, Daisy is Kennel Club registered and has all up to date vaccinations and health checks.

   

  Daisy will be based in Year 5 and will be trained to the same high standards that Ted has been trained to. All children will have training on how to behave and stay safe around a young puppy and dogs in general. 

   

  Please remember that no other dogs are permitted on the school grounds.

   

  Many Thanks

   

  Mrs Eatock

  Head Teacher
