Birches Class

Welcome to Birches Class

We are a class of 14 KS2 children with a wide variety of interests such as Japanese culture, politics and the universe. We are very good at supporting each other and being aware of our friends' strengths and differences. We love to achieve and work hard to be the best we can be in both our school work and our behaviour. In Birches we focus on developing our independence as well as being part of a community. We pride ourselves on being 'calm, quiet and sensible' as we know we are role models to the younger children in school.

PE in Birches is on Tuesday afternoon this term. Reading books are changed each Friday morning, and new spellings sent home on Friday too.

Fun facts about the class team

I love Harry Potter and have a dog called Albus, named after Professor Dumbledore

I like to visit castles at weekends

I used to live in America

If I wasn’t a teacher, I would either work in a book shop or for the National Trust

Helen

I love cats! I have three, Phillip, 15 and Tilly and Ted, who are nearly 2.

I was born in Lancashire and have lived in the North East since 2008. I still have a Lancashire accent though!

I love mindfulness so I am a big fan of meditation and colouring.

I love sunshine, so Summer is my favourite season.
