Autumn Term 2025

Pupils in Beacon class have hit the ground running this autumn term, setting a positive tone for the new school year. From the very first week, the classroom has been buzzing with energy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to learning.

Pupil have been working hard, showing resilience and using team work as they settled back into routines. Whether tackling new topics in Maths, diving into creative writing projects, or exploring exciting themes in Science and History, Beacon Class have shown curiosity and determination.

Most impressively, we have been completing our Literacy Daily  5. The pupils of Beacon have been displaying the school values by reading out loud to each other during tutor times. 

This is a huge step for our pupils, and it displays a wonderful sense of maturity, setting the scene for term ahead. 

Spring Term 2026

We have had a fantastic and busy period in Beacon Class, with pupils showing great enthusiasm across all areas of learning. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they rise to new challenges and support one another along the way.

In English, pupils have been focusing on reading comprehension tasks. They are developing key skills such as retrieving information, explaining their answers, and discussing texts as a group. Pupils have shown perseverance when tackling more challenging questions and courage when sharing their ideas aloud.

In Maths, our focus has been on telling the time using analogue clocks. Pupils have been learning to recognise hour and minute hands, tell time to the hour and half hour, and apply this knowledge to real-life situations. This has supported their ambition to become more independent and confident mathematicians.

For PE, Beacon Class enjoyed an exciting trip to Fort Nelson for laser tag. Pupils demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. It was fantastic to see so much courage, kindness, and acceptance as pupils encouraged one another and worked together during the activity.

Throughout the week, pupils have continued to show Littlegreen Academy’s core values: ambition by aiming high in lessons; perseverance by not giving up when learning feels tricky; courage by trying new activities and sharing ideas; kindness in supporting peers and showing respect; acceptance by valuing everyone as part of our community.

We are incredibly proud of Beacon Class and the positive attitudes they bring to school each day.
