Birch Class
Welcome to Birch Class
Classteacher: Mrs. H. Love
Birch have been VERY excited about our new visitors in the classroom. They have been learning about the life cycle of a frog discussing how the tadpoles change throughout the cycle and closely observing the changes. Lots of children have been using their sounds to write fact files about tadpoles.
In phonics we have been focusing on recognising and reading words with trigraphs in. The children have been very quick at spotting punctuation in sentences when reading them as a class. Can they spot any punctuation at home or while you are out and about? Can they tell you what a shouting stick tells you about a sentence?
Our new story is 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' the children are experts at retelling the story using actions and language from the story? Can your child remember any of the story?

We made Colchester! 15/10/20
I'm sure you've been told LOTS that we were going to be building Colchester today...and we did!
The children ABSOLUTELY LOVED picking their favourite landmark in the town and used LOTS of boxes and odd bits and bobs to create these MARVELLOUS creations!
Have a look at Birch's version of Colchester below!

We are learning to master our maths skills, to help us truly understand the concepts of maths. Numberblocks is a fantastic programme that supports this and you can often get great resources in the CBeebies magazines!

Wish your child would say more than "nothing" when you ask about their day? Try using these sneaky questions when you chat to them (borrowed from a parenting blog...too good not to share!).
