Birch Class Blog

A busy week for the Year 4`s and 5`s!

Maths: Birch Class have been working through the Place Value unit in White Rose Maths and have recently looked at ordering and comparing numbers.

English: We are currently looking at our book, “Here We Are (Notes for living on Planet Earth)”, by Oliver Jeffers. In connection, the children have been writing an information/explanation text in the form of a letter advising ways in which you can stay healthy and look after your body. 
BOOK CLUB: The children are enjoying the book, “The Explorer”, by Katherine Rundell. A plane has crashed in the Amazon Rainforest and the children, who have survived, must find a way out. They have just discovered the ruins of a “lost” city, but someone sinister is already there to greet them. Exciting stuff!   

HISTORY: Birch Class are continuing to learn about Medieval Monarchs. They found the fact about Henry VIII not having to wipe his own bottom particularly fascinating!

It was lovely to see parents and carers at the recent “Meet the Teacher” meeting. Many thanks for your kind words and support.

Until next time,
