Beech Class 2026 - 2027

Beech Class - Mrs Bennett and Mrs Griffin-Jones(Y3/4)

Welcome to Beech Class!

My name is Mrs Bennett and I am the co-class teacher in Beech Class and the Deputy Headteacher. I have enjoyed teaching at Halebank C of E Primary School for many years and I am passionate about reading and helping children discover a love of reading. I also particularly enjoy art and like to get involved in arts events in school and further afield. My own hobbies include walking, reading, watching football and discovering new places. 

My name is Mrs Griffin-Jones and I am the co-class teacher in Beech Class. I have been teaching here for over 10 years and am the DT subject lead.  I have a background in Science, so have a great interest in all things science, technology and design. I love seeing children develop their ideas and testing how things work.  Outside of school I have spent many years watching rugby league, often in the cold and rain, either at my son's games or at the Widnes Viking's games.  I also enjoy running and walking, craft activities, reading and travelling to new places.

PE

Autumn 2  Our Class PE is on Wednesday and Friday.  Please bring your PE kit into school and keep it on for the half term. 

We will also be going swimming each Thursday from November to February.   

Homework

Spellings are given out on  Mondays, in preparation for tests on the following Thursday. This is accompanied by a spelling homework sheet.  Children have also been given log in details for Ed Shed, Times Tables Rockstars and Numbots. We  encouraged children to access these regularly.  Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about this. 

Children are expected to read each night for approximately 15 minutes. Parents are asked to record the pages read at home in the reading record and children are to bring in the reading record and their book each day.

Thankyou for your support.
