Our new teacher on Fridays, Mrs Taylor, came in on 20th of April. She is very kind and clever. She has been here for two weeks now. We are doing the Egyptians. We do english, maths and topic with her. In maths we are doing rotational symmetry.We have been doing homophnes.

In our topic we have been doing Egyptians. We have learnt about Tutankhamun he became pharoh at the age of nine years old! We did a map of Egypt and put parts of Egypt in the right place.We have really enjoyed learning about the Eygiptians.

We have been making pyramds and going on walks. We had to work in pairs and it was really fun.

 We had a fabulous time in Malvern! We all enjoyed the activities that

included the night walk, quad pole, zip wire, high and low bridges, rock

climbing, archery, tunnels, punch trail, problem solving, night line and low ropes.

Holly's favourite activity was rock climbing because she went really high up.

Josie loved the Indiana Jones bridge because it was very high and scary.

Jamie's was the problem solving because he found it challenging.

A huge thank you to Mrs Woodbine and Miss Davies for taking us.

The day after we returned from Malvern was our trip to the Big Bang Science Show!

We had conversations with Oscar the robot, saw the presenters from the television show and

took part in lots of exciting activities. We even saw a Formula One car and created energy with Shell!

St. David's Day

This week Nick from the Malvern Outdoor Centre came into school to tell us all about what we will be doing there. We had to put some of the equipment on including helmets, waterproofs and harnesses. It was very funny! We had some team challenges to make shapes out of rope. His visit helped us to understand more about the centre and now we really can't wait! When we go we are going to go on the zipwire, the obstacle course and the bridges and we are looking forward to the night walk.

We have been using our bodies to make different shapes and words in gym in PE.

We have also been writing poetry about our favourite things in English. Darcey wrote about hedgehogs and cats and Tia wrote about fairies.

We have been working with and finding out about our learning partners. Jasmine thinks that working with learning partners is good to help us to find out more about each other.

Welcome to our first entry as a class! We are very excited to tell you that we will be providing you with regular updates about what we have been doing in Beech class.

We have decided to call our outdoor sessions Thrilling Thursdays. We have been making bird food using popcorn, raisins and fat balls and have been on welly, twig and leaf hunts. We were lucky enough to go for a walk in the snow before Half Term because Mrs Woodbine has finished her First Aid training and had great fun making snow angels on the hill! We also spotted a badger's footprint in the snow! Thrilling Thursdays links in with our Environment topic work.

Mrs Sweeney is very pleased to be back and is enjoying teaching us. She is especially impressed with our Maths skills.

We are looking at Changing Materials in Science and can't wait for our visit to the Big Bang Live in Birmingham, where we will hopefully see lots of exciting Science and Technology activities. We have written thank you letters to Mettis Aerospace, who have very kindly paid for our coaches. Look out for an article in the Standard!

We are extremely excited about our trip to Malvern and can't wait to meet Nick from the centre, who is coming to school on Monday to talk to us about our activities and answer any questions that we might have.

Holly said "I'm really looking forward to going to Malvern because I can't wait to go on the zipwire!"

Hannah commented "I can't wait to try out all of the activities in Malvern!"

Hello and welcome to Beech class.  

We can't believe how quickly this term has gone so far! We have lots of exciting things to tell you though. 

Open day was a huge success and lots of parents liked having us take them on a tour of the school and we enjoyed doing it. We put together a French café in the hall, where we spoke to the parents in French and offered them drinks and cakes. We even made our own tartes aux pommes to tempt parents with.

We enjoyed doing Squash in PE. We even had a tournament in the last session! The winners and runners up were given medals and we all said that we would like to play some more squash in the future.

 The parts for the Christmas play have been given out and there have been some surprises for some children in Beech class. We are all very excited about the play though and can't wait to really get going with the rehearsals. We are all frantically learning our lines and some of us even know them all off by heart already! We are looking forward to getting dressed up and going on the stage.

We will let you know how the play goes and what Christmas activities we are doing when we visit our page again.

 Bye!!
