Into the darkness!

This week we discovered a crashed space ship in our nursery yard! The children found a letter from the astronaut explaining what had happened and telling us all about his adventures in space. Following on from this we talked about how space is dark and explored darkness ourselves in the dark den. They enjoyed looking through a telescope and talking about what they could see in the sky. 

On Friday the children wore their Pudsey ears or made Pudsey ears of their own in Nursery. We baked Pudsey bear biscuits to take home. Yum! Yum!

  

Children in Need

Harvest Festival

To mark 'World Food Day' we celebrated Harvest Festival at school. The children, parents and staff all kindly donated produce that we have given to a local food bank who feed families in Sheffield.
Thank you so much for your generosity!!!

Active Travel Challenge

A big thank you to all who took part in our 10 day active travel challenge.  We hope you had fun joining in with it! All children who took part will be getting their certificates soon. A prize will also be on its way to children who also managed to do it for the full 10 days. 

The Beighton Characters of Effective Learning

Over the last few weeks you may have noticed a few new characters popping up around school.

These are 'The Beighton Characters of Effective Learning'.

This half term we have been thinking about good learning behaviours and the characteristics we need to develop in order to become successful, independent learners at Beighton.

If your child comes home with one of the 'Effective Learning Character Stickers' ask them to tell you about the fantastic learning behaviour they demonstrated at school to achieve it!

Well done Phoebe for your super writing of the three Billy Goats Gruff story.

Beighton Bees go to Rother Valley

Our newly selected Beighton Bees had a fabulous time at our family of schools meet up at Rother Valley County Park.  The children went into different teams with other children from local schools and they took part in team building activities through the day.  Some of the fun activities included pulling a bucket from place to another only using skipping ropes, the amazing maze, parachute fun and crossing the swamp.  
The children were all very well behaved and I had a great time meeting and getting to know my new group of bees.  A big thank you also to the parent helpers who came along too.

Active Travel Challenge

Who is going to join in with the 10 day Active Travel Challenge from 5th -16th October?  We will be giving stickers to children who come to school in an active way such as walking, running, skipping or even on bikes and scooters.  Children who manage to do this everyday will receive a special walk to school badge.  There are also prizes for schools in Sheffield with the highest numbers of children who join in.  Why not bring in a photograph of yourself coming to school in an active way?  We would love to see them. So come on everyone from Beighton Nursery Infant School, we need your help! 

World's Biggest Coffee Morning - Macmillan Cancer Support

People across the UK are hosting a coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support on Friday. Due to events in school, we can't hold a coffee morning, so we're going to host an afternoon tea instead and would really like it if our parents could join us.

All the staff are going to be busy baking and we'll be selling our cakes from 3.15pm on Friday. We'd love parents to get involved in either (or both) of the following ways. Firstly, you could put on your aprons and help your children to bake us some lovely cakes for our staff to sell. Secondly, if you are able to, come and join us for afternoon tea on Friday. 

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school everyone! I hope that you have had a wonderful summer break.

I’d like to thank FOBBINS for funding our new Reception play area. Their fundraising throughout the year and the generosity of our parents has enabled us to build a lovely new area for the children to learn outside.
