EID Celebration in School- Wednesday 17th April
Tue 26 Mar 2024EID Celebration in School
Eid Mubarak to everyone!
Eid is an extremely special celebration for Muslims as it marks the end of Ramadan and is known as the "Festival of breaking fast." It’s a joyful time spent with family and friends, celebrating Eid with the people you love, eating a lot of food (mainly desserts), and thanking God for all of the love and strength Muslims have been given. On this day, many people sit down to a feast with family and friends, wearing their best attire, and donate money before going to the mosque. For many children, this is a celebration to look forward to; many are spoiled with new clothes, treats, gifts, and money. We hope you have a lovely Eid!
We will celebrate EID in school on Wednesday 17th April.
Each class will have a party in the afternoon on this day (Nursery & 4 Oak in the morning). We would like children to come to school in their special clothes/ party clothes and wear them all day.
We would appreciate you helping with food for the parties. The children will be having a normal school dinner, but some treats for the parties would still be appreciated. Please could you send the treats in with your child on this day and they will be distributed for the children to share. We request that you make sure there are no nuts, strawberries or bananas in anything to ensure children with allergies are safe. School will provide plates but please ensure your child brings a drink with them in their water bottle. This year we are asking for;
- The girls to bring in savoury items, preferably vegetarian if possible (for example pakoras, vegetarian sausage rolls, cheese bites, crisps,)
- the boys to bring in the desserts (for example cakes, buns, biscuits, chocolates)
Thank you for your continued support and we hope the children enjoy celebrating this occasion.

Dance Showcase
Thu 21 Mar 2024We were so proud of the Berkeley Dance team who performed at 'North Lincolnshire Dance Showcase' this afternoon at the Baths Hall. The children were so confident as they stepped onto stage, and they performed a very energetic and polished dance, blowing the audience and judges away.
Well done to the children and Mrs Jones for all their hard work, practice and dedication in producing such a quality dance. I know your carers loved watching you perform.

Big Talk Workshops in School
Tue 05 Mar 2024
To keep children as safe as possible Relationship Education is now statutory in all Primary Schools, we are engaging the support of the specialist organisation BigTalk Education, who are a Social Enterprise recognised by national lead bodies and Government.They work with 3yr olds upwards and have been involved in delivering age-appropriate education of this type for over 20 years.
Below is some information on the Growing Up Safe programme that will be delivered to the Children.
* Age 3 (Nursery). A fun learning environment where the children are taught: the differences between boys and girls, naming body parts, correct scientific words, private areas of the body, good touches and bad touches.
- Ages 4 to 8 (Reception School Years 1, 2 & 3) Re-enforces and checks what was covered in Nursery. Using specially designed child friendly resources at the end of this session they will be able to identify happy situations within relationships, and those which may be risky (e.g., other children or adults taking improper photographs of them, inappropriate touches, exposure to unsuitable media etc.) Plus, whom they can talk to if they are worried.
- Ages 8 to 9 (School Year 4) We cover different kinds of families, similarities and differences between boys and girls, the emotional and physical changes of growing up (puberty) how babies are made, then develop in the womb etc. (reproduction). Also discussed is, how to look after our bodies and be safe and healthy.
- Ages 9 to 11 (School Years 5 & 6) Reproduction and puberty are re-capped, the children are given the opportunity to ask questions. As well as additional clarification on puberty, they will often want more details on how babies develop and are born. It is important that they know there is someone in school as well as at home if they want help, advice or more information etc. (Information at this stage is vital to protect them as they move onto Secondary School and to provide an alternative to Google etc.
All the resources BigTalk Education use are age appropriate and help keep children protected from unwanted touches, abuse, and exposure to unsuitable images etc.
Further information on the above can be found on: www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk/parentsThe new video Parent presentations https://www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk/year-by-year/ are on our website – The password to access the presentations is: Happy&Safe
In addition, “Bodies, Babies and Bellybuttons” is the BigTalk book which accompanies the Growing Up Safe programme. This is a great resource for parents and can be ordered online from www.bigtalkeducation.co.uk on our Resources page.
Should you require any further information BigTalk Education can be contacted on admin@bigtalkeducation.co.uk.If you have any queries regarding the above information and would like to discuss this with someone from school, please do not hesitate to contact me via email on admin.berkeleyprimary@northlincs.gov.uk

During each session teachers will read books to their class children and parents can talk about their favourite books and read with their children. If parents are unable to attend, a grandparent or other family member would be very welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
The dates for each Reading Café will be as follows;
2 Oak Tuesday 30th April 2.00pm
2 Holly Tuesday 7th May 2.00pm
2 Beech Friday 10th May 2.00pm
1 Oak Monday 13th May 2.00pm

1 Beech Monday 20th May 2.00pm
Children and parents may bring their own books in to share on this day. We really want all of our families to take part in these events.
If you have any questions about the Reading Café, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
