Welcome to Birch Class

Classteachers: Mrs. H. Love/Mrs. L. Dhanak

 

We are so excited to 'Spring' into the new term!  We are going to be exploring our local environment over the next few weeks, so when you are out and about and you see any leaflets relating to Colchester and its historic attractions, please do bring them in!  Feel free to take photos of your favourite places to visit in the local area.

See our Spring Term Knowledge Organiser at the bottom of this page for what we will be learning this term.

Please find Tricky Words below to practise reading at home. Feel free to print them and cut out as flashcards, see if they can read them on screen, or work together to spot them in books. These words are called Tricky Words because (at the moment), we can't sound them out - we just have to learn to read them.
