WELCOME TO BIRCH CLASS!
Welcome to Birch Class!
We are group of 10 pupils in key stage 3. Amy is our class teacher and currently Sharon and Cara also work with us.
During the summer term our topic is The Great Outdoors and we are exciting to restart forest school . In science we were be exploring waves, focussing on light and sound. We will all continue to work on our problem solving and counting skills in maths. Some of our pupils will be exploring money and multiplication and division.
In English we will basing our reading work on Kensuke's Kingdom. We will be streaming these sessions with pupils in Cedar and Elm to allow our countryside and city pupils further opportunities to mix with other peers and develop their drama skills alongside their reading. The coastal pupils will be able to share sensory stories and activities while working on their communication skills. Our other book we will be focusing on is Rise Up, Ordinary Kids with Extraordinary Stories.
All pupils will continue to access daily streamed phonics sessions. You can support your child at home by accessing the rhino readers following the link below. If you are unsure what level your child is working at please let me know.

Please remember to send your child in with a labelled drinks bottle, labelled snacks and a coat. Now the weather is improving can you please all supply labelled suncream and a sunhat. We can provide water and milk throughout the day, but if your child prefers cordial please send this with them.
Pupils access the outside areas multiple times a day so please ensure they have named, appropriate clothing for the weather. We would appreicate pupils having a change of clothes in school too. We take part in lots of messy activities and access the outdoor area regularly. If you know your child loves water and/or getting messy having spare, named clothes in their bag would be a huge help.
