Year 2 transition
Thu 27 Jun 2024We are so proud of our Year 2 children. They were just super when they had their lunch in the junior hall as part of their transition earlier this week. The children were absolutely brilliant; they were really calm, got their lunch sensibly, ate beautifully and most cleared their plates! Thanks to the Year 6's who helped support the younger children - one Year 6 even managed to sit and have his lunch with his sister - the one and only chance he'll get before moving up, it was lovely to see. A pleasurable experience for all.

TRANSITION - tomorrow
Please refer back to the transition email sent previously about our plans to support your children in getting to know their new adults. The first session is tomorrow, Thursday 20th June 2024. You will pick your child up from their new classroom. Please see the attached school plans to show where your child’s new classroom is. All junior parents wait in the junior car park and the children will be brought to you. Infant parents need to collect from their new classroom.
Staffing Update
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Jenna King will be leaving Berkeley Primary School at the end of the academic year. Jenna has been an invaluable member of our teaching staff for the past five years, and her dedication to our students has been truly commendable. We will deeply miss her presence and contributions to our school community. Jenna will be joining North Lincolnshire Council in a new role supporting vulnerable / special needs children with short breaks. We wish her every success in this role.
We are delighted to have recently appointed Natasha Benstead to our teaching team. Miss Benstead has been with the school on placement in Year 5 since January 2024, so knows the school really well. She is an excellent teacher and will be teaching in Year 4.
If you have any queries regarding any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.
Best wishes

Refugee Week - Celebrations on Friday 21st June
Wed 05 Jun 2024We are planning a fun week of activities to celebrate Refugee Week (w/c 17th June), including kite-making and an art / poetry competition.
As part of our celebrations, we will be holding a non-uniform day on Friday 21st June. We invite children to dress in the colours of a flag of their choice. This might be the flag of the UK or another country that is special to them. (For Nursery children this will be Wednesday 19th June.)
We are raising money for North Lincs Sanctuary Group - a group of volunteers who support newly arrived families in our area. They offer friendship and practical help, providing everything from essential household goods to cookery classes.
A suggested donation of £1.00 would be gratefully received which will be sent to the North Lincs Sanctuary Group.
In the afternoon we hope to have a picnic on the field. We will be providing some snacks.
Children are welcome to bring their own picnic items to share if they wish (they will have had a school dinner so won’t need much) and please send a drink in with them.
Best wishes
Mrs Angie Humphrey (EAL lead) and Miss Faye Marshall (PSHE lead)
