Easter egg competition

Thu 26 Mar 2015

This week in our assemblies, Reverend Fiona came in to school to speak to us about Easter. Children now all have a better understanding of why we have chocolate eggs at Easter time.

Next week in school we are going to have an Easter competition. This is just for fun and for children to join in with if they want to. Children can decorate an egg using any resources that they wish. Children may decide that they would like to make their egg into a character. We would also like parents to join in with this competition! As well as a competition for children we will be having another competition for parents.

All entries should be in school by the end of the day on Wednesday 1^st April so that they can be judged and winners will be announced in assembly on Thursday 2^nd. There will be a prize for the most creative egg in each class as well as 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd prizes for parents.

We look forward to seeing your decorated eggs.

Last week at Beechwood Primary School

Year 2 really enjoyed their day at Temple Newsham for a den building workshop. Children thought about what it would be like to be an explorer having to make shelters to sleep in using different resources.

On Friday morning, children enjoyed learning about a solar eclipse and classes watched this on their classroom whiteboards.

Year 1, 2 and 3 had an assembly thinking about our link school in South Africa.

On Friday afternoon Beechwood Trust Choir enjoyed performing at Cross Gates Primary School with the Trust Choirs from Cross Gates, White Laith and Grange Farm. All four choirs rehearsed together and performed very successfully to Cross Gates School. On Monday 30th March the children will be performing again at ELFM in Seacroft. This will be at 3.30pm for a rehearsal and at 4.00pm to parents and carers. ELFM also plan to record the session to play on one of their shows.

This week Miss Hobson is in South Africa visiting our link school. Please read her blog on the blogging page on childrens page of the website to find out more about her visit.

Last week Year 5 and 6 enjoyed their dance workshops on Tuesday. Year 6 continued their work with Northern Ballet and they are looking forward to seeing a performance at The Grand Theatre on 11th March. Year 5 had a workshop by The Northern School of Contemporary Dance, the children really enjoyed this workshop and had lots of positive feedback. Thursday was a busy day as Year 1, 2 and 3 were all on educational visits, children in all of these year groups were a credit to the school and represented the school perfectly. Year 1 had a brilliant time at Skipton Castle and they learnt lots about the mediaeval building. Children particularly enjoyed climbing the steps into the watch tower. Year 2 had a fantastic time in the costume department at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and the children quickly found out that there was a costume for all of their suggestions! Year 3 loved their visit to Magna, children enjoyed exploring the Air, Fire, Earth and Water zones. The children were facinated by the experiments in the rockets and balloons workshop.

This week at Beechwood ...

On Wednesday the school photographer is in school taking class photographs. Year 3 will all have their class photographs before they go swimming.

We also have a Book Fair in the school hall everyday after school this week. Please come along and support this.

On Thursday it is World Book Day, children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, 2 and 3 can all dress up as a book character.
