Class 13

Mrs Haylings and Miss Taylor took children from both Y5/6 to compete in a Foot Tech football 3 v 3 tournament at Bishop Young Academy on Tuesday 9^th February. The children played a number of competitive games against schools from across East and North Leeds. Everyone enjoyed the morning and there were some incredible skills shown including perseverance and resilience. At the end of the tournament a select few children were shown to be standout players (MVPs!) and Year 6's very own Summer H was chosen! We are very proud of all the children who took part.

Well done to these children. Another excellent week in year 6!

We have been working hard on our bridges in DT. These are our final pieces. After learning about all the different types of bridges, we designed which bridge we wanted (based on our learning). We then got to work on building our structure, making sure our bridge was sturdy and secure.

Week Ending 30/01/2026 - Lots of certificates were given out this week! Well done to all the children who thoroughly deserved their prize!!

On Friday morning we were able to share the climate work we are doing in school with some very important visitors. Councillor John Tudor and Richard Burgon MP joined our whole school assembly and then met different groups of children to learn more about what we believe is important at Beechwood. The children discussed our curriculum brilliantly, listened carefully and asked very thoughtful questions. We learned that Richard Burgon already does a lot of work promoting climate education and we hope he will tell people about what we do at Beechwood. John Tudor inspired us with his own story about how he began picking up litter locally to make a difference in his own area. After this visit, we have lots of ideas about what we will do next in school.

Week Ending 09/01/2026 - Well done to these certificate winners! You have had a brilliant first week back and we are incredibly proud of you.

Year 6 had a fabulous outdoor science lesson. We made mini rockets by creating carbon dioxide within a small container. The gas created pressure which forced the lid to come off and the container to shoot up! All children enjoyed the lesson and their write up was excellent too. Well done year 6 !

Harvest Assembly With Rev. Anne

Week Ending 05/09/25

What a fantastic first week back year 6 have had. Their behaviour has been excellent and they have been acting as fantastic role models to the rest of the school. In maths we have enjoyed exploring place value to a million. We have used place value counters to help us do this! During English, we have been reading ‘Running Wild’ - an excellent book which has really engaged us all! After analysing Will, his feelings and behaviour, we can’t wait to find out more about what happened to him on his holiday to Indonesia! Geography lessons contained our pre- launch and we impressed Miss Spooner and Miss Warren with our prior knowledge! We labelled a world map 🗺️ and made sure we included South Africa, Italy, United Kingdom, Greece, Egypt, Ghana, France, Germany, Poland, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and all the other countries we have looked at previously! We certainly had multiple facts about these countries in our long term memory already. We are looking forward to our launch lesson next week to introduce North and South America! In Science, we classified and then sorted all different kinds of animals into scientific groups.
