Year R Trip - Cancelled

Due to a power outage at the school today, we regret to inform you that the Year R trip has had to be cancelled. Unfortunately, this is due to logistical challenges and the school’s phone lines currently being unavailable, meaning we are unable to communicate effectively with families while off-site.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. Further updates will be shared as soon as possible.

Due to an unexpected power cut, the school is closed today for the safety of all pupils, staff, and visitors. Please do not bring your child to school until further notice. We are working closely with the relevant services and will provide an update to all families as soon as possible regarding reopening arrangements.

It may be half term, but at BV our love of gardening doesn’t stop! Throughout the year, our children work hard to develop our outdoor spaces, from creating wildlife-friendly habitats to building our sensory garden around the boat.

National Children’s Gardening Week is all about encouraging children to get outdoors, explore nature, and discover the joy of growing plants.

If you’re looking for something to do at home this week, why not try:

🌻 Planting seeds in pots or containers
🐝 Creating a bee-friendly area with flowers
🌿 Growing herbs on a windowsill
🪴 Reusing everyday items (like old boots or tins) as planters

Gardening is a wonderful way for children to learn new skills, build confidence, and connect with nature, all while having fun. We added a picture of a few quotes from the children after asking them about their time gardening.

We’d love to see what you get up to! Feel free to share your gardening photos with us! 📸

As we come to the end of another busy and successful half term, we would like to remind you that half term begins next week.

Please note that clubs for after half term will go live on Arbor at 6:00pm this evening.

Our latest newsletter is packed with exciting highlights, including:

🏅 Sports Day medal and Fort winners – with photos celebrating a fantastic day
🎭 Upcoming class assemblies
⭐ Star of the Week
🚌 Year 3’s trip to Wi******er Science Museum

We would also like to remind you that Paulsgrove Carnival workshops are now live on Arbor, and spaces are available to book.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break.

Newsletter 32 Dear Beacon View Families,

🌼 Busy Bees in the Garden! 🌼

It was a small group after Sports Day but we were busy as bees, for the bees 🐝

We planted out courgettes, tomatoes and fuchsias - bees like to visit their flowers for food.

We sowed lots of bee-friendly flower seeds to feed the bees later, as well as more peas and beans.

After the sunshine, there was a lot of watering that needed to be done to keep the garden growing.

The children were also able to pick a posy of sweet peas to take home!

(The flower bed image is of our ‘Pollinator Patch. Some plants have grown back from last year and other seeds were sown by the autumn garden team.)
