FEARless is for parents and carers of children and young people aged 6-14 years, it helps support parents and carers with their children who may have anxiety around attending school or social events.

Thank you

The Gardening session had a lovely vibe yesterday and is something we aim to repeat in September when we have even more produce! Thank you for your donations and support.

As the school year draws to a close, I’d like to wish our Year 6 children the very best for the next steps in their education journey. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in our community for their ongoing support.  When I reflect on this academic year, many of the highlights have been having our families in school enjoying activities with their children. We all really appreciate working alongside you to give the very best memories for life to our pupils.

We have lots of ideas and exciting opportunities planned for the next academic year. A few snippets include: going to watch a Christmas show, having a family picnic and a whole school Gladiators event! We are also creating a new and exciting learning space in the art area.

For now, wind down and relax after another wonderful year at Byers Green. Enjoy the break and come to school on Wednesday 3rd September ready for a new beginning, lots of hard work but lots of fun along the way.

Thank you once again,
Miss Dodds

Gardening Project

by

We have received a grant to buy a greenhouse and some gardening equipment for our developing school allotment. We are so grateful to one of our grandparents and family for building it for us. As part of our pupil voice, the children have asked to grow tomato plants, beans, sweetcorn, lettuce, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and courgettes.  Over the past few months, the children have been planting these and looking after them.

We would like to invite any parents/carers/wider family into school to come and help with this project during our Forest School session on Thursday 17th July from 2:30 until home time.  The whole school will be taking part in activities on our school yard and this is our dedicated gardening time to plant and grow our own fruit and vegetables.  Any help such as watering the plants, weeding etc with your children would be greatly appreciated.  If anyone would like to donate seeds or plants they would be gratefully received. We will set up a ‘donation station’ on the school yard.

If you have any suggestions on what you would like us to grow, I am sure we can make it possible!

Once the produce is ready, we hope you will take some home to enjoy.  This is a very exciting project which will help your children build life skills.  We look forward to welcoming you into school if you can make it to join in the fun with your children!
