George's First Adventure!

Last Friday George chose Francesca from Blue class to spend the week with.  

Francesca is a member of Children's University and was chosen by George due to being a fantastic role model in our football after school club.  

Francesca took part enthusiastically and listened very carefully to Mr. Rockett.

In assembly Francesca told all the children about the great time she had when George came to stay, they even went to the seaside together!

Which member of Children's University will George choose this week?

Family Of Schools Annual Award Evening

We are very pleased to announce our winners for the upcoming Westfield Family of Schools Award Evening.  Each class teacher was asked to nominate children in their class for the following awards:

Most improved student

Attitude to learning

Friendship

Positive contribution / Pupil voice

Talent

Schools Choice Award

One child from each category was then chosen as Beighton's own winner.  They have now been invited to attend the special ceremony where they will go head to head with pupils from the other schools in the same categories.  Whether they come home with first prize or not, we are still incredibly proud of them! 

Well done!!

Red Nose Day - Friday 24th March

Culture Week

We had a lovely week last week for Culture Week. Year 1 and 2 started the week off by doing some traditional dancing which they then performed to Nursery and Reception. We then spent the week exploring our chosen places, thinking about culture, religion, language, similarities and differences and much more. We came back together on Friday to showcase what we had found out throughout the week. It was a lovely way to end the week and to celebrate our learning. Don't forget to come and look in the hall where our Culture Week work will be displayed. 

World Book Day

Happy World Book Day!!

The children have had a fantastic day! Across the school, the children have been acting out, sharing their books, writing their own stories and creating different characters. We have had a wide range of interesting and exciting costumes so thank you again for supporting World Book Day and helping the children to dress up. During Open Door please have a look at some of the displays in the classrooms showing the learning from the day as well as in the Hall on the English display board. Don't forget to spend your World Book Day voucher before 26th March 2017!

Celebrity Breakfast Club

Allergy Awareness Day

On Monday 30th January we supported Allergy Awareness Day.

Information about allergies and intolerances was incorporated into the day’s learning so that the children had a greater understanding about this important issue that affects so many children and adults. The children were invited to wear red as a sign of support and some made red wrist bands too!

Food Drive

We've been overwhelmed by your generosity again!

Today's Food Drive was a huge success so on behalf of the S20 Food Bank, a big 'thank you' to all of you who were able to contribute.

Mrs Clark helped the Beighton Bees pack the donations for collection.

Family of Schools Food Drive

Dear Parent/Carer

Back in September we supported The Family of Schools ‘Food Drive’ initiative which aims to help disadvantaged children and their families in the S20 area by working with the S20 Food Bank.

The second of the three ‘Food Dives’ this school year is on  20th January, the last one being on 12th May.

The Food Bank has provided us with a ‘shopping list’ of donations which I’ve included below with more information about volunteering etc if you are interested.

Thank you in advance for your kind donation.
