Beacon Class

Class Teacher: Carl Fossey

Welcome to Beacon Class one of our Key Stage 3 classes here at Littlegreen Academy.

Autumn 2021

Beacon class have had a really amazing start to the academic year, all of the pupils have returned to the new term with a positive attitude to their learning. 

We are delighted to have a have a new pupil in our class who we are really enjoying getting to know. 

The pupils have also enjoyed 'Stunning Start' for our autumn term topic 'Mind Matters' where we will be learning about how to encourage positive thinking and to challenge ourselves as much as we can. 

We will continue to focus on the Academy's visions to be kind, accepting, courageous, ambitious and to persevere.

Spring 2022

In English this half term we have enjoyed writing biographical pieces about some famous people that we aspire to be, ranging from Hollywood Actors to YouTubers.

More recently, we have studied the features and the purpose of a newspaper and how one should be written. In the coming week, Beacon class are going to don their best attire and sit in front of a camera and present the news in our very own broadcast!

In Science, we have been able to learn a little more about different types of waves and modelled our understanding by building a wave machine out of Jelly Babies – which all the pupils enjoyed tidying away at the end of the session. Who knew Science could taste so good?

Back in PSHE, we have been discussing positive relationships and how we can maintain good relationships with our peers by looking into our rights and responsibilities.
