World book day in Birch
Well done to the great effort of everyone who took part in our World Book Day dress up last Thursday! It was great to see all of your favourite books brought in from home.

For our Topic lesson we developed our knowledge of what Fair Trade is. We used wrappers of chocolate, fruit and veg and we had to use atlases to identify the countries that they came from. We were told that produce could be either brought to Great Britain using planes, boats or wagons. We had to discuss why we thought the fruit and veg was imported and not grown in Great Britain. We discussed the different climates of countries and how important it is that the weather is to ensure the fruits and vegetables grow.
In English over the last couple of weeks we have been looking at different myths and legends. Today, we conducted some research, using different techniques, about the Loch Ness Monster. We recorded our findings on a poster and shared our facts with each other.
Did you know the first story of Nessie dates back to AD 565?
Thankyou to those of you who have kindly donated to our new community project.
We have made a start to organising our Croft Community Closet.
We hope to have a pop up shop at our end of term Easter Event where you can browse our rails in person.
Please keep your donations coming in.
Thanks from the Croft Community Closet Team
World book day in Rowan was amazing and everyone made lots of effort with their costumes and props. Reading opportunities were experienced, staff to pupils and peer to peer. Some lovely book markers were made and The Fantastic Mr Fox enjoyed relaxing in the reading area. Mrs Devlin read The Room on the Broom with the children acting as the characters whilst the book was read. Watch out on class dojo for some video recordings of our pupils telling us their favourite book and what they liked about it.
On the Friday before we broke up for half term we enjoyed a treasure hunt created by Mrs Devlin. The children really enjoyed themselves and were super excited when they found the treasure that was hiding!
Thank you Mrs Devlin, from Birch! We had a brilliant time.
A group of children from Birch worked in the street today as we developed our skills and knowledge with counting to 20! Great work everyone!
Today the primary children really enjoyed a pirate treasure hunt un the forest school area organised by Mrs Devlin. There were safety rules to follow so that the newly planted plants did not get trodden on and everyone was safe whilst having fun. Some lucky pirate buccaneers even found chocolate gold and silver coins which they took home. The wind didn’t stop them and as you can see they all had fun! Everyone received a certificate for completing the hunt.
WOW. These trains were so much bigger than we thought! Beech class were able to see inside of a train cab and saw where the coal was thrown to produce fuel for the train. We may have had a little play in the park too…
