Beech class reading challenge

This week Beech class challenged themselves to read as many story books as we could! We read them alone, shared with staff and read them as a class. We got through 13 stories!

Experiments with refraction!  30/1/25

Today we learned about how light can refract and completed some experiments that showed refraction in action. We learned about how light travels and how it travels through transparent materials. Check out us being super scientists!🧪

Chinese New Year 29/1/25

Today in Beech class we have celebrated and learned about the Lunar New Year and the year of the snake.

Theraplay fun! - December 2025

Fun in the snow! - 18/11/24 ☃️

We have had a really busy morning in Beech class! We worked as a team to build a huge snowman, made snow angels and chase each other. We listened to the noises the snow made and spoke about seasonal changes and what we observed as we enter winter.

(We’re not sure who had more fun…the staff or the children!)
