Birch Autumn 2: Week 2

Date: 14th Nov 2025 @ 2:00pm

This week has been Anti-bullying week in school. It has been such a lovely week!

We started off our week by thinking about kindness and how we can spread kindness around our school community and at home. We have created a kindness paper chain and a kindness calendar in class, showing the acts of kindness that we have completed this week. On Monday we enjoyed wearing our odd socks and taking part in an 'odd sock dance' (see the whole school video on Facebook). On Thursday we watched a live assembly from 'The School of Kindness' and the created kindness notes for family or friends. Our week ended with a 'Pudsey celebration' for Children in Need (Thank you for all your kind donations).

In maths we have been looking at money and can now state the value of all coins and notes. We have started to look at how to add these together too!

In English we have finished our work on 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy'. Mrs Wilson-Briars and Mrs Barton were very impressed with our diary entries in our Star Write books and several children went to put their name into the book of brilliance!

We had lots of fun in science this week! We carried out and experiment to test which material would make a good protective jacket for Humpty Dumpty. We wrapped an egg int different materials and pushed them from the top of the door.

Next week we will begin our history topic, My Memory Box. This will look at changes in living memory. On Tuesday we will be sharing our baby photos with the rest of the class to look at how we have changed (please send one across on Seesaw if possible).
