Noticeboard

The pupil forum was looking a little crowded with inactive accounts, so today I have had a bit of a tidy up!

 

Children, if you haven't logged in to your forum account for over a year, you will find that it has been deleted. Don't worry though - if you want to get involved in the conversation again you can create a new account.

 

Don't forget, while the school blog is a formal and public space to discuss your work and ideas, the forum is a private and informal place to chat (which you should not do on the blog!). See you there!

Every class in the school took part in the Big Dance today. The children did and amazing job and lots of teachers danced too. Check out the video in the gallery. Edited version coming soon!

During our Walk to School ‘London to Paris’ challenge,

Becontree pupils walked a fantastic total of 644.4 miles!

 

The top three walking classes were 1J, 6G and 2Gr.

1J contributed the most miles with 52 miles altogether.

 

Well done to all the walkers and a big thank-you to all the parents and carers who helped support their children in walking to school!

 

 

 

Year 6 will be taking part in an enterprise programme organised by Young Enterprise along with Virgin Money. The Fiver challenge involves the children being given seed money (£5) to start a small business.

 

The enterprise programme will be run for the whole of June with a trade event at the end of the month. We will let you know the date of the event so that you can come along and support the young entrepreneurs as soon as possible. 

 

Below is a link to more information on the Fiver challenge and how it works:

We will post images of the work the children complete as part of the challenge in the gallery for everyone to see. 

Year 6 teachers would like to wish all the Year sixes taking part in the national assessments this week the best of luck! We know, first hand, that they have all been working hard, especially in the last few weeks, in the effort to do their very best.  Whatever happens, we are proud of all their achievements this year!

The students of Becontree are being challenged to 'walk' from London to Paris (and back) as part of the National Walk to School Week. Every student that walks will contribute miles to reach the target of 416 miles by the end of the week. ​We hope that lots of extra children with their parents will try walking to school in support.

Every class from Nursery to Year 6 are growing potatoes as part of a project with the Borough Catering Service and McCain's. The potatoes will be harvested in September/ October time and be used for school dinners with a special dessert too. The classes will also have the added challenge of competing to grow the most potatoes and the winning class will receive a prize.

Year 6 are taking part in Food Revolution Day on Friday 16th May with a live streaming event with celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver. They will be learning to make healthy rainbow wraps. The name 'rainbow' comes from the range of different coloured fruit and vegetables that go together to make the wrap. Photos will follow at the end of the event and we will upload, shortly, the recipe for any families who would like to try some simple but healthy cooking with the whole family!

 

Recipe can be found in the gallery alongside photos of the event in school.

Check out our blog pages - children and teachers are all starting their blogs. I am personally loving seeing everyone's WeeMee avatars. The pages are starting to fill up and it's very exciting. Follow the link on the Children section.
