Happy New Year to everyone!

Birch Class have made a wonderful start to 2026. It was lovely to see their smiling faces on Monday after the Christmas break.

This week we have continued our topic of multiplication and division in class using concrete resources to help our understanding.

In English we started a new text - Jack and the Beanstalk which the children are really enjoying. We have explored the main characters and written a description of them using powerful adjectives.

We have started a new unit of work in our geography lessons this week - Let's Explore the UK. The children have really enjoyed exploring atlases and using them to find the continents, oceans and the countries of the UK. We will be continuing this topic next week too. 

In computing this week we have been coding using the program Code Studio. The children loved building their code, creating their own algorithms and de bugging their code if it wasn't quite right!

Next week in school is Maths Week - look out for this year's exciting competition on Seesaw. There will be prizes awarded for the winner of each key stage. This year's theme is money!

It is also our school trip next week. On Tuesday we will be visiting Imagine That in Liverpool and we are so excited about it! 

This week's VIP winner in Birch Class was Alex for always being a kind and caring friend to everyone around him...well done!
