Birch Autumn 1, Week 1

Date: 12th Sep 2025 @ 2:02pm

We have had a lovely start to our year 1 and 2 journey in Birch! We have tried hard to show our school rules 'Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe'.

In English we have been exploring different types of nouns - common or proper. We have also looked at what a verb is and really enjoyed playing a verb hunt in the classroom!

Maths has been lots of fun especially when we have used our equipment such as base 10 and rekenreks to show a number with concrete materials. We have developed our knowledge of the place value of 2 digit numbers.

We have started our new geography topic - Hot and Cold Place Around the World. We have talked about the equator and placed countries onto a world map thinking about why they would be hot or cold. We have also learnt the continent song and the oceans song too! We will be planning our assembly around this topic over the next few weeks.

We had a very exciting day on Wednesday when we appeared on ITV news!

Next week we are going to be listening to our senior students and house captains audition for their roles in the hall. We will also start an RE topic based around the religion of Hinduism.
