Welcome to Birch Class!
Miss Hindley is absolutely delighted to welcome you to a fantastic new school year! She will be joined by a wonderful team, with Mrs Lewin, Mrs Broad, and Miss Dodd also helping us with our learning to ensure every child is fully supported to succeed.
This year, our curriculum is bursting with incredibly exciting topics! We will be travelling back in time to explore the Stone Age and the Romans—bringing history to life with immersive workshops—as well as learning about the dramatic volcanic eruption of Pompeii. In Geography, we will be stepping outside for exciting fieldwork right here in Bebington Village. Our reading and writing will be inspired by captivating texts such as There’s a Rang-Tan in My Bedroom, Leon and the Place Between, and Escape from Pompeii.
We also have plenty of hands-on experiences planned across the curriculum. In Science, we will investigate rocks, light, and the human skeleton. Our creativity will shine in Art and DT as we study famous artists like Picasso and Monet, bake seasonal crumbles, and even design our own Roman purses and pop-up books. Musically, we will be learning to play the ukulele and will even enjoy a very special trip to the Liverpool Philharmonic!
Because this year is a crucial stepping stone into upper Key Stage 2, a major focus for us is preparation for Years 4, 5, and 6. We will be placing a strong emphasis on developing independence and personal responsibility in readiness for Year 4. We want to empower our children to take ownership of their learning, organise themselves effectively, and build the resilience needed to tackle new challenges with confidence. By working closely together with our families, we aim to ensure that every child makes this important transition feeling mature, capable, and ready for the exciting years ahead!
