Open Afternoon Success

The Beacon held a very successsful open afternoon where past pupils, present and future parents, grandparents and friends visited to share in what is happening in our school.  Our children were proud to show others what we do here and enjoyed sharing their skills and talents.   Left is one of our pupils playing as part of our instant band, which consists of drums, electric guitars and keyboards. 

 

European Visitors

Teachers   from  Turkey,  Italy,  Spain and

Wales  were in our school early in October

learning   about   The   English  Education

System  and  our school's good practices.  We   are  one  of  a  small  percentage  of  English  schools  selected  by The  British

Council  and  funded   by  The   European

Union    to    be    involved   in  a  two year

partnership   which   sees  us  exchanging 

work, sharing practices and learning more about the wider world. 

 

Boat Trip and Beach Trip

In October, most of  the school went on a boat trip up the estuary.  Despite the atrocious weather,  there was lots of fun and  laughter!    When arriving back   at  school  slightly  damp,  children enjoyed hot   drinks   before   leaving  for home.  In contrast, year 6 had a gloriously sunny day when they went to the beach the following day!
