Dear Parents,
I hope that you feel that the year is progressing well for your children in school. It has certainly been very busy and it seems amazing that this time last year we were in the middle of a major building project.
Adventure Playground: Problems with heavy rainfall means that the builders are having to do extra work on the landscape. Your chance to try it out is Friday 5th July at 9.00am! Come prepared!
Bike Racks & Shelter: These are in the process of being installed.
Trips & Visits: Classes are enjoying their visits to:-
Y1 – Tropical World
Y5 – Leeds Discovery Centre for their transition work to Year 6
Y4 – Magna in Rotherham
TELL – Emotional Health Matters – Our leaflet has been useful in school for a number of years. We regularly talk with children in class and assemblies (see over).
This is Beecroft’s TELL leaflet Talk to us
Explain your worries
Let us know your feelings
Listen and we will help
We talk about any worries – not just ones that may be ‘serious’ as it is important that children know that we are here to care and support. We want our children to be happy, secure and emotionally healthy and the message is a regular theme in assemblies and class. Encourage your child to TELL you and tell us too if there are worries and concerns – however small.
Transition between classes will be happening week beginning 15th July when children will meet their new teacher before the summer. It will help with those insecurities that may happen when a change of class is due.
