Year 3 'Play in a day.'
 
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed a play in a day where they re-enacted the story 'The Stone Age Boy.' This is the story that Year 3 children have been learning in Literacy which will support their learning further. 
Friday 24th September - European Languages Day 
 
What a great day we have had celebrating everything Norwegian. We started by learning facts about the country and recording on our fact finders, we then learnt some words and phrases using the finger puppets to talk t each other. After break it was all things Vikings creating posters about why they came to England. Then in the afternoon we worked with an artist to do printing of 'the scream' as well as ranking and recreating Norwegian landmarks in the forest. 
WB: Monday 15th November - Interfaith Week 
This year the whole school has focussed on Judaism, specifically as whole classes on the Mitzvah element. This is when they have a day dedicated to good deeds. This supports their core values of perfecting the world, acts of kindness and righteousness. In beech we focussed on perfecting and repairing the world. I was super impressed at home many children used their litter pickers to tidy up the community and how well they embraced tree planting and tidying the digging area for Early Years.
