In Birch’s Science lesson we had a looked at the digestive system. We did a practical activity where we created a our own using tights, cups and a tray and recreated our small and large intestines, the stomach. We then went through the process our bodies do to digest food!
We then created a poster to describe to people the different parts of the digestive system.
As a school we are continuing to develop and improve the Vocational Department. Below is the vocational classroom, which has been wrapped in cartoon images of some of the courses we now offer. This is with the intention to grab pupils’ imaginations and inspire them when they come to learn in the vocational areas around school.
I would like to thank Wayne and his team for creating this outstanding graphic.

In English, we are reading the book Journey by Aaron Becker. The story has no text and shows a journey and the events which happen along the way. Today we worked in teams studying illustrations from the book and discussing what speech or thoughts could be happening to match the illustrations. We then wrote these in thought and speech bubbles.
Today the pupils in Birch combined their learning from outdoor learning and Topic to tidying up their vegetable bedding planter and then searched for sticks of equal length and width to use as part of the God’s eye for topic. The pupils watched a short video clip of the tutorial of making the Gods eye, which originated from the Spanish and is a spiritual and votive object made by weaving a design out of yarn upon a wooden cross and each point of the eye represented Earth, Water, Fire and air.
WHOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!!!!!! Beech have worked so hard on their reimagined pallet planter which involved painting, composting and potting on some beautiful red, white and blue flowers!
What do you all think of it?
In maths this week we focussed on fractions having equal parts.
We cut up pancakes into 1/2 (half) and 1/4 (quarter).
We used the segments of an orange and put them into thirds, and for a challenge we succeeded to cut a cupcake into sixths.
The children recognised that when they halved, quartered and cut the food up into thirds, the parts had to be equal!
We had lots of fun and the children enjoyed eating the snacks after🥞🧁🍊
9H had a lovely day yesterday celebrating the Queens jubilee!
We listened to lots of 1950s songs, decorated cupcakes.
We made a cake as a class for the competition and 9H won🥇.
We coloured in some great pictures, did some creative writing for the time capsule and had lots of fun taking part in the quiz.
In the afternoon we enjoyed having a dance to the band, followed by a little class buffet!
Well done guys! Great day👑🧁🎶
