School Trip to France

Would you like your pupils to experience an educational language trip to rural Normandy at an affordable price?

For over 15 years we have provided language and activity holidays for UK schools, as we find that one of the best resources for learning French and experiencing French culture is France itself!

We hold the Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Quality Badge and are registered with both the British Activity Providers Association (BAPA) and the French Authorities.

Château Beaumont are currently offering a limited number of peak summer 2017 dates as well as some fantastic autumn deals. Our fully inclusive prices cover: executive door to door transport, full insurance, comfortable accommodation, allocated group leader, all on-site adventure activities, all local excursions including entrance fees, evening entertainments, French language practice and three delicious meals a day.

Should you be interested I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have and discuss your various options. You can contact me on 01388 741 370, or by emailing Lyndsay@chateau-beaumont.co.uk to request a call-back.

Superheroes save maths lessons

How can you encourage your pupils to adopt a positive attitude to learning Times Tables?

Mighty Fun Activities for Practising Times Tables is a three-book series which uses superheroes to motivate children to practise the skills needed to solve multiplication, division, and word-based times table problems.

Superheroes appeal to even the most reluctant of learners and will instil a positive and competitive attitude towards learning. The aim is for children to become excited and motivated enough to want to learn and practise times tables.

These enjoyable worksheets will help children to:

  • recall and apply times tables rapidly
  • increase mathematical fluency
  • understand and use a variety of mathematical language
  • make connections between times tables
  • understand the relationship between multiplication and division
  • and develop mathematical reasoning.

The books contain reproducible sheets of practical and written activities which are designed to be used as flexible teaching aids. You can dip in and out of the books in any order to support the learning of any times table. The activities work equally well as stand-alone 5 to 20 minute lesson reinforcements or as regular times table learning.
