Seven days of ABCs and 123s

This year we will be having special activities to celebrate the special link between Maths and books. Has your child joined our pattern photo competition?  If not details are below.

Dress Up Day – Monday 20^th March

Our traditional dress up day will take place on the 20^th March.  All the children and staff in school will dress up in costume.  We encourage the children to be creative and imaginative with their costume.  So please try and avoid football kits or the children coming as themselves! 

To celebrate the collaboration between books and Maths, this year the children can choose to dress as a book character or something maths related.

Here are some pictures to inspire your child’s creations.

Book and math related costumes:

Photo competition – Closing date 21^st March

Seeing and understanding pattern is very important in Maths for many reasons, for example to improve our knowledge of shape and space, to help estimation and solve problems in algebra. Pattern is also very important in the English language, it can be seen in spelling, sentence structure and of course poetry. Many stories follow a pattern too and understanding this can help develop children’s comprehension.  This year our photo competition celebrates pattern.  

Your child needs to take a photo on the theme of pattern and send it to Ms Jeves at the following address: jevese2@beaconhill.edu.hk   Please can you make sure the subject header for the photo contains your child’s name and class.  Closing date: 21^st March.

If your child has Deli Fresh for lunch, please talk to them about their food choices as we have noticed a lot of children are reluctant to finish their lunch.

Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.
