TRANSITION

As always, we plan carefully for a smooth transition (children moving from one class to another through the school). We plan to make sure children adapt to their new environment and teachers, building the children’s confidence and trying to reduce any anxieties they have.

We have planned two sessions for the children to spend some time with their new teacher in their new classroom. The first session is 9.30-11.30am on Thursday 19^th June 2025 and the second is 9.15am-1.15pm on Wednesday 25^th June 2025, when the Y2 children will have their lunch in the juniors.

Staffing Update

I am sad to inform you that Tom Fell (teacher), Sylwia Wislowska (TA) and Yanina Mereshchak (TA) will be leaving Berkeley Primary School at the end of the academic year. They have all been invaluable members of our teaching staff for several years, and their dedication to our children has been truly commendable. We will deeply miss their presence and contributions to our school community.

Tom will be starting at a new school in September. Sylwia is taking the exciting leap to complete her teacher qualification, joining the North Lincolnshire SCITT programme in September. Yanina has made the decision to return to the Ukraine, rejoining her family. We wish them all well in their future.

If you have any queries regarding any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.

Year 3-6 Berkeley Booknic- Monday 23rd June 2025

Tue 03 Jun 2025

We are excited to let you know that the whole of Key Stage 2 shall be taking part in a ‘Booknic’ – a Reading Picnic!

This will be a great opportunity for children and their families to read, relax, eat and discuss books in order to build reading memories together.

Children will be asked to bring in their favourite books, a blanket and a snack to eat outside. Parents and carers are also invited to bring in books and snacks to read alongside or with their children.

This year’s year 3-6 Booknic shall be held on Monday 23^rd June and we are inviting parents and carers in from 2:30pm until 3:00pm. The gate will be open from 2:30 (and close again at 2:40) for family and carers to enter the school grounds, and will then re-open at 3:05 ready for home time. Children will be taken back in to their classrooms at 3pm to prepare for home time.

Teachers have also created a menu of book recommendations to inspire you with what you may want to read at home.

If you are able to attend, we look forward to reading and relaxing with you and hopefully the sun will be shining to make it a lovely afternoon.

Refugee Week and Non-Uniform Day

Tue 03 Jun 2025

We are planning a fun week of activities to celebrate Refugee Week (w/c 16th June), including exploring 'Playtime Around the World' and 'Bread Around the World.'

As part of our celebrations, we will be holding a Non-Uniform Day on Friday 20th 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 18th June.)

We are raising money for North Lincolnshire 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.

This year, our picnic won't take place during Refugee Week - this will be our 'Booknic' for years 3-6 on Monday 23rd June. However, during Refugee Week, children will learn about and taste bread from different countries. If any families would like to share a traditional bread recipe, we would love to receive them.

Best wishes

Mrs Angie Humphrey (EAL lead) and Miss Faye Marshall (PSHE lead)

Thank you for joining us with our VE day celebrations

Fri 09 May 2025 Anna Cvijetic

Dear Parents, Carers and wider family members,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for joining us for the VE Day celebration picnic yesterday. It was a wonderful opportunity for our whole school community to come together, celebrate, and remember those who fought for our freedoms.

Seeing everyone singing the National Anthem together was truly heartwarming. I hope this day inspires us to learn valuable lessons and strive for peace across the world in our lifetime.

A special thanks to those parents who took the time to send their messages of appreciation. Your support means so much to us.

Looking forward to more joyful gatherings in the future!

Year 5 Workers' Memorial 28th April 2025

Mon 28 Apr 2025 Mrs Harling

Today, our Year Fives were invited to participate at the annual Workers' Memorial service at the Connect Church on Ashby Road. The Year Five children put on an absolutely brilliant presentation this morning and all three teachers were incredibly proud of them. Every speaker knew exactly when it was their turn to talk and everyone could be clearly heard from the back of the hall. Members of the public described their performance as 'flawless' and 'polished'. Well done Year Five - you are using your Oracy skills very well indeed!
