Welcome to Beechwood Primary School

Happy Holidays

We would like to wish all our families a very happy holidays. We look forward to welcoming all children back to school on Tuesday 7th January 2025.  

Year 1,2,3 and 4 Multisports Festivals

Some of our Beechwood Children have attened School sport multisports festivals within the last few weeks. All the children involved had a wonderful time and got to meet children from other schools. The games were a mixture of different sports and were run by local highschool sports leaders. 

Well done to all children who took part. 

Beechwood Take one Picture Art Gallery

All pupils took part in the Take One Picture project at school. The picture this year was Pieter de Hooch, 'The Courtyard of the House of Delft'. Children were very creative in using the picture as a starting point for their own art. Some of the discussion points were about the people in the painting, the place in the painting, the jobs that the people had and their own feelings about the painting.  

Year 6 Leavers Performances and Prize giving

Well done to all our Year 6 pupils. They performed brilliantly in their end of year production. We wish all our Year 6 pupils the very best in their high schools next year. You will all be missed!

Awards were also presented to selected students. 

House Captain Elections

In July, our Year 5 pupils work hard on election speeches. All candidates share their speeches with the school and hope to be elected. On voting day, all pupils get to cast their vote for a boy and a girl house captain for their house Wimbledon, Wembley, Twickenham or Lords. 

Keech Cottage Fundraiser

Throughout the year, Beechwood Primary School have been raising money for Keech Hospice Care. As a school, we designed and painted and tortoise that can be seen in Wardown Museum in The Short Tail Trail. Our Tortoise in called Beanie. Thank you to all the families who helped raise a massive £1250 for this amazing charity.

Website Update

With Mrs Breen-Smith and Mrs Stanton, we reviewed the day and updated the school website. 

End of Day Reading

At the end of the day, we each went to a Year 1 classroom and led the end of day reading.

Message from the Mini Leaders

Our day was very tiring. We really enjoyed being a leader of the school and discovered how hard it is to be a teacher. The senior leaders do a lot of steps everyday. 

The children were super and we think that Beechwood Primary School is amazing. 

Message from the Senior Leadership team

The headteacher for a day winners were very good and led the school well. We are nervous about the competition we now have for our jobs! 

The school community was very impressed with how hard the mini leadership team worked and the wonderful praise that the mini leaders have given.

Stop Motion Workshop

Some of our children took part in a stop motion animation workshop after school. The children worked in groups of 4 to create their own short stop motion animation. They had just 2 hours to create all the backgrounds, tools, characters and resources that they needed and create their film. Below are the amazing animations from each group. Children from Year 1 to Year 6 took part. Mrs Breen-Smith and Mr Tobias were very impressed with all the films and the hard work of all the children.

World Book Day

Children across the school had a wonderful time during World Book Day in March and explored many of their favourite books. 

Year 4 Performance- Alice in Wonderland

Children in Year 4 put on a wonderful performance of Alice in Wonderland this half term. Children practised their lines and developed their drama skills. Parents and children enjoyed the show. Well done Year 4. Thank you to all the school staff who helped the children to put on such an amazing performance.

The Family Worker Team work closely with Luton Foodbank to support vulnerable families. Foodbank have collaborated with Discover Islam and Islamic Relief, and offered Ramadan packs.

These packs aimed to support families during the holy month of Ramadan, especially during these challenging times.

We made sure our vulnerable families from all backgrounds were supported.

The food pack included rice, oil, (atta) flour, gram flour, plain flour, self-raising flour, porridge, eggs, chickpeas tin, lentils, tin tomatoes and tuna.

Our team collected the packs from Discover Islam and distributed them to families in need.

Feedback from one of our parents,

“Thank you so much, this is wonderful support and I really appreciate it.”

 The theme for Black History Month this year was 'Saluting our Sisters'. Year 2 created posters to share information about Black and Mixed Heritage British women who have shaped history and shared their achievements and accomplishments.

Take One Picture Art Gallery

All children across the school took part in the Take One Picture project at school. The picture that was the focus this year was 'Surprise' by Henri Rousseau. All year groups took ideas from the original picture and created their own original piece of art. All the art from across the school was displayed in our art gallery. The work looked AMAZING! Well done everyone. 

Summer Fair

Thank you to all our families who helped to make our summer fair so successful. 

For the last day of the half term, children were invited to come to school dressed in their house colours. We were raising money for Chums Shine Bright appeal. 

Children all sat in their own houses for lunch and completed activities in the afternoon. 
Our house captains from Year 6 led activities and led an assembly for the pupils in their house. It was a great day enjoyed by all. 

2022- 2023

Congratulations to our Year 5 and 6 football team who played Whitefield primary school on Thursday 10th November. The boys and girls in our team played extremely well and should feel very proud of their 2-1 victory. Well done!

On the last day of the Spring term, Beechwood Primary celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The children from Reception to Year 6 all gathered on the field. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed watching a performance from each year group. After the performances, the children had a small tea party on the field with juice, cakes, crisps and biscuits. 

Everyone in the school contributed to our Jubilee art gallery and the children loved seeing art from the different year groups. 

To inspire and engage future generations, the children all contributed to our Beechwood time capsule which will be burried on the school grounds for future Beechwood children to discover.
