Thank you for all your support over the past few weeks. We have raised £200 towards Princess Alice Hospice. If you would like to make a donation please drop it into the school office. We plan to give a cheque to Miss Ames’s family at a special assem-bly. The book of condolence is in reception if you would like to write a message.
Well done to Barbara Moses who raised just short of £500 for MacMillan Cancer Support and thank you for all the cakes the children brought in. And well done to our runners and walkers who took part in the Windsor races at the weekend.
I would also like to say welcome to all our new families, all the children in both Nursery and Reception have now started and we have had in excess of 50 children start throughout the rest of the school. Well done to all the staff who made their start at Beavers and easy transition.

On the 17th September a group of pupils from Beavers school travelled into Lon-don on the Tube to visit Surrey Cricket Ground. The ground, which is known as the Oval, was hosting a special cricket game to raise money for the charity Help for Heroes. Some of the greatest players in the world had flown to South London to compete in an England v. The Rest of the World T20 game. Each team had 20 overs to score as many runs as possible.
There were many famous players taking part including, MS Dhoni, Andrew Strauss, Brian Lara, Mahela Jayawardene and Virender Sehwag. During the match pupils used their maths skills to calculate the run rate and predict the total number of runs each team would score in their innings.
Every pupil who went would like to thank Ms. Smith who put a huge amount of work into preparing and planning the trip.
October’s value is … Equality
Equality is…..
Helping one another
Working together with pa-tience
Treating everyone the same
If your child brings in a packed lunch please keep it healthy—try to include a sandwich, some vegetable sticks such as carrots or celery and some fruit. Please do remember not to put any nuts in as we have children with severe nut allergies.
On Saturday 26th September some of our staff took part in the Windsor 10K Run, Running For Women. Ms Ames asked that they fund raise for 2 children’s charities—Starlight and Shooting Stars Children's Hospice. The links to sponsor both charities are below.
Our target figure was £500 but they raised over £1,000 please let your friends and families know so we can continue to raise funds for these two charities..
