• Read for my School

  Wed 21 Jan 2015

  On the 19th January 2015, an exciting project was kick started by Mrs Stock in the KS2 Monday assembly. The project involves reading lots and lots of books for the opportunity to win prizes, not only for the school, but also for the individual children.

   

  Read for my School is a national campaign aimed at Years 3 to 6. At Becontree, we recognise the importance of reading and look for many opportunities to celebrate it so we, of course, decided this was a perfect opportunity. Children will be able to read many exciting fiction and non-fiction books via the internet. Each student has been given their own individual log in to use -not only in school but at home too. Their task is to read as many books as they can from now until March when the project ends (just in time for World Book Day)!

   

  To keep the spirit of competition alive at Becontree, we have decided to run our own in-school competition between girls and boys. A league table will be on display and kept up-to-date throughout the rest of the project. On World Book Day, a special prize will be won by the most prolific readers in each year group too! So, you know what to do... KEEP READING!

   

• SATs meeting

  Wed 21 Jan 2015 Year 6 teachers

  Becontree hosted the annual SATs meeting at 5pm this evening. It was an opportunity for the parents of Year 6 to learn about the important statutory tests that occur every May for Year 6 children across the country. 

   

  Those parents, who attended, were able to pick up the revision pack, made up especially for this meeting, and the CGP revision guides . As discussed, the powerpoint containing the details about the tests themselves and the advice on how best to support your child or children is now on the school website. You will find it by selecting the 'About' tab and it can be found under 'Key information'. 

   

  If you were unable to attend, you will be able to see the same information on here as was given at the meeting. The revision packs will be sent home with your child or children; however you will need to pay the £5 deposit for the revision guides before they will be passed onto you. The £5 deposit is only refunded if the books are returned in a good condition and unmarked. If you wish for your child to write inside the guides then you need not return them and the £5 will become non-refundable.

   

   Your support is much appreciated by both the school and the children.
