Beech Hill School

Our School Council had a lovely time walking around the school conducting a learning walk. They observed lots of enthusiastic and happy learners talking part in engaging and creative activities. They will report their findings in an assembly to their peers #schoolcouncil

It was lovely to welcome in our year 3 parents to have lunch with their child. The children loved sharing stories and jokes with their parents whilst enjoying a scrumptious meal. A huge thanks to all those parents for coming in and making memories together #parentalengagement

Year 3 had a fascinating lesson this week learning all about fossils. They used their working scientifically skills to make careful observations of what they could see and matched them to their names. We then categorised them into animals or plant. @STEMLearningUK

Today it was off to Panto Land at Shirley Manor. It was lovely to be joined by some of our friends from Beech Hill School. Children and staff enjoyed booing the baddy and cheering the heroes. We had lots of fun singing along....oh yes we did🤣

Thank you so much to Cathy McGill who has spent the last 3 and a half years supporting children in KS2 with their reading. We wish her well for the future. Thanks to @Schoolreaders for organising volunteers to come in and share books with our pupils 📖

Well done to our @Music4themany orchestra who performed alongside the Halifax Chamber Choir at Dean Clough on 9th Dec. The evening was a festive delight well attended by families and it was great to welcome back former students. Thank you once again @HxCChoir for this opportunity

This week Year 2 welcomed their parents to school to eat their delicious lunch together. Children had a wonderful time and were very eager to show their parents where they eat daily.

This week, Year 2 have had a resilience open minds workshop and had to create their own resilience superhero. The children really enjoyed the workshop and found ways to help them become more resilient.

We had the best time taking part in a fitness circuit ran by Sean Gaffney. The GB athlete inspired our pupils to push to their limits and to show perseverance and determination. Our pupils raised an amazing £631.97 for @greatathletesuk and are looking forward to their prizes 🏃‍♂️🥇

Our new mental health display board in school displaying children’s work from Hello Yellow Day @YoungMindsUK the children wrote lots of positive quotes to help create a positive mindset and how they can help others 💛

Our school council have been working hard this week to pack up all the harvest collection. Today they visited @HalifaxFridge to serve the community. It was a wonderful experience as the children saw how our collection supported those in need. Huge thanks to those who donated💚

Year 1 were so excited to have their family join them for lunch this week! The children loved showing their adults what they eat and couldn't stop talking about how special it was to share their lunchtime together.

A huge thank you to everyone that came into school dressed in yellow last Friday. We raised a fantastic £387.44 which will go towards the charity @YoungMindsUK helping young children with their mental health. We greatly appreciate all your support 💛💛💛

***Reception Open Evening*** We look forward to welcoming prospective reception parents/carers on 18th November. Please contact the school office if you have any questions or queries.

Year 2 had a wonderful day at Shibden Park! We went on a lovely walk and looked at all the physical and human features. The children were able to identify these and now will apply their new learning to their geography lessons. They were all engaged and behaviour was exceptional.

Here are our Rights Respecting School Council for this year. A huge well done to all our winners who were elected by their peers. Their first role is to encourage their friends to bring in items for the harvest festival. They will then visit @HalifaxFridge to serve the community

This afternoon, it was lovely to invite our families in to work alongside their children. We looked at spelling and how we use our Oxford Owl Practice Books and we built some sentences with a focus on expanded noun and verb phrases.
