A fantastic start to the new year in Year 3. We began the week looking into our new topic titled ‘scrumdidlyumptious’. This is a topic based around food. We began the week by talking about the difference between fruits and vegetables and tasted various ones including, Lychee, Pineapple, Grapefruit, mushroom, radish, sugar snap peas, plum and cucumber. Miss Lomax was really impressed that every child in the class tried each one. Well done Birch.
We have had a fantastic week in Birch, completing lots of fun Christmas activities alongside Maths and English. We also had lots of fun in our Christmas party afternoon. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. See you in 2019
This morning Year 4 and Year 1 Oaks had a shared reading morning. The children shared Christmas stories and reading books. They took turns to read to each other and discussed the story. Year 1 Oaks said that they really enjoyed themselves!
Everyone looked fantastic in their party clothes. We all had a fantastic afternoon and everyone enjoyed themselves. We played musical statues, pass the parcel, had dancing competitions, did the hokey cokey and we even managed to fit in baby shark! When we had finished all the dancing I think we were all a little bit tired.
In science today, Year 3 planned and carried out experiments to test the permeability of various types of rock.
As part of our Frozen Kingdom topic, Year 6 had to try and construct food webs to show predators and prey in the Arctic. We studied many of the animals, where they live, the conditions they need, where they would likely hunt, and investigated further into the animals’ eating habits. We looked at what producers, consumers, herbivores, omnivores, predators, prey and top predators are and used this knowledge to help construct the food webs. Read more
In science we have been investigating soil permeability using 3 different types of soil. We used a funnel, filter paper and measuring cylinders to carry out our investigation. First we planned our investigation in groups and made a prediction, then we carried out our investigation and made a conclusion about our findings.
We have had a very busy week this week getting things ready for the Christmas fair and making our Christingles. If you didn’t get chance to buy your child’s frame and you would still like to buy one there’s still chance next week 🎄👍🏻🎄
In Reception, we have been learning about ‘People who help us’. We were very lucky to have a parent who is a firefighter and he volunteered to come to school. He talked to us about being a firefighter. We told us about what it was like being a firefighter and what they do. He even brought in some of his equipment for us to have a look at and try on! We learnt lots of things Read more
