Who's Who?
Hello and welcome to Beech Class. This page will give you a little bit of information about the ladies in the room that will help you and show you some of the things we have and will be learning. Check back on this page regularly to see photographs of all the exciting things we will be doing.
Mrs Fenton and Mrs Crookes (Miss Saul) are your teachers. Mrs Fenton works in Beech Class Monday to Wednesday and Mrs Crookes is in Beech on a Thursday and a Friday. We work really closely together to ensure that you always get the best learning experiences.
We are very lucky in Beech Class to also have Mrs Dodd and Miss Clifford to help us throughout the week and Mrs Davis on a Tuesday morning. We all work as a team to ensure that you have the best and most exciting learning experiences. It is lots of fun in Beech Class and all the ladies love to help you to learn.
Our PE days are Wednesday for Creative Curriculum and Friday with Mrs Crookes. Please ensure your child comes to school in PE kit on these days with any earrings removed.
We are very lucky to be taking part in Forest School this half term. Please ensure that your child brings their Forest School clothes in a bag on Thursday.

Autumn Term 2026
During the Autumn Term we will be learning all about ourselves whilst we get to know each other. It is an exciting time starting in a new class but it can be a bit scary too! We are all here to help you. On a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday your grown ups will come into class with you to do a little job. This is exciting and it means you can show off everything that we have been learning. Don't forget to show them your awesome work box on our display too. It has all the things in that you are proud of.
To kick start our learning we are asking that you bring in a picture of something you are really good at to add to our ‘Our Talents’ display. This could be you conquering a fear, riding your bike, swimming, anything you are really talented at. We will be changing this board all the time so don't forget to keep bringing in those picture. At Kirkby Avenue we value the whole child and love to hear all about the exciting things that you do outside of school.
During the holidays Mrs Crookes and I have been into school to set up our classroom. We thought all about the toys that you said you liked and we have added them to the classroom to help you feel at home. We can't wait to see all your wonderful faces on Thursday 3rd September.

Home Learning
Home learning is sent home on a Wednesday and is collected back 2 weeks later. The dates are included on the slips in your child's book. If you need any help, please let us know :)
Remarkable Readers
At Kirkby Avenue Primary School, we believe reading to be extremely important. Reading underpins so many other areas of the curriculum and supports the children in developing their imagination. To support your child with their reading, we ask that you listen to them read at home as often as possible and record this in their ‘Reading Record’.
Our Reading recognition system, Remarkable Readers, aims to ensure that all our children are remarkable with their Reading throughout the year. Each time a child reads they achieve a ‘Reading Point’. Depending on age, this could be:
- Reading at home to an adult
- In school independently
- At home independently
Reading Points are cumulative and will be added up weekly throughout the year.
35 points = Bronze Award (Certificate)
85 points = Brilliant Bronze Award (Certificate)
130 points = Silver Award (Certificate, message home & prize)
175 points = Super Silver Award (Certificate, message home & prize)
220 points = Gold Award (Certificate, message home from Mrs Clifford & prize)
265 points = Glittering Gold Award (Certificate, message home from Mrs Clifford & prize)
310 points = Diamond Award (Certificate, message home from Mrs Clifford and a prize)
355 points = Dazzling Diamond Award (Certificate, message home from Mrs Clifford, a prize and an Afternoon Tea in The Reading Nook with our Reading Ambassadors)
400+ points = Platinum Award (Certificate, message home from Mrs Clifford, a prize and a Book Voucher)
