Beechwood Primary School

This week – 22nd February

The children in Year 3/4 have been busy this week investigating reflective materials as part of our new Bright Lights topic. They had great fun using their torches to learn about what makes a material most reflective. Watch as Sophie and Jessica explain their learning, with help from Rayhan.

Our topic in maths this week has been Shape, Space and Measure and the children have been getting involved with lots of “hands on” activities to help them with their learning. Miss Lewis’ Maths group were using toothpicks and marshmallows to build 3D shapes and investigate their properties!

In Miss Ford’s class children have been learning about Reflective Symmetry and have created some fantastic symmetrical designs using objects from around the classroom.

Meanwhile, Miss Saunders’ class have been investigating the perimeter of rectangles. They used cocktail sticks to make as many rectangles as they could with the same perimeter!

Spanish continues in full flow and the children are loving learning the new language – it’s great to see their enthusiasm and watch their confidence grow.

Lights, camera, action! Rehearsals for our upcoming production of ‘Let Loose’ will begin this week – just a reminder that children need to have their scripts and song lyrics in school with them every day. The children have got off to a great start with learning the songs and now we are very much looking forward to getting the acting underway now! We know you have been working very hard with your children to help them learn their lines and we are very grateful for this – thank you! We would really appreciate your continued support with this as the performance dates will be here before we know it!

Hasta luego!

Miss Ford, Miss Lewis & Miss Saunders
