• Our PE day is on a Monday afternoon. The children will need pumps, plain black jogging bottoms or shorts, a white t-shirt and jumper. Trainers are needed for outdoor PE lessons.
• Outdoor Learning will also take place on a Tuesday afternoon and all children will need wellington boots, as we will be out in all weathers!
• Please read with your child as regularly as possible. The more practise they have, the more confident and fluent your child will become. The children also have log ins for Reading Plus which they can access at home.
• Morphs can be used to practise spellings and TT rockstars can be used to practise times tables.
• Takeaway homework will be given out every half term based on our history or geography topic.
• Reading books will be changed weekly.

If you do have any questions then please do not hesitate to get in touch I am around most days both before and after school.

In Birch class, we want our children to feel safe, happy and confident in all that they do. We aim to bring an engaging and creative curriculum, with a broad range of learning opportunities and challenges, to encourage them to have a positive attitude towards their learning. We want all children in Birch to love coming to school every day and to want to become the best that they can be, reaching their full potential. We want the children to be inspired to become independent and co-operative learners with skills that they can continue to develop into the future. Every day is an opportunity to learn and develop at St Joseph’s, as we try to be the best that we can be. Not only do we believe in ourselves in Birch Class, we also believe in others, help one another, show kindness, friendship, love and encourage each other every day as we are all a part of the Birch Class family!

We also want the children to grow in confidence both academically and socially throughout the year and through our creative curriculum, we ensure that the children learn a range of topics and grow their skills through those topics. Alongside this, Birch class will be completing the year with our class residential to Whitby, thus giving us the opportunity to further explore our wider environment. 

These exciting topics create a full coverage of the National Curriculum, as well as providing learning opportunities that will capture the creativity and imagination of our children. It is through these topics we endeavor to:

 Believe in God, ourselves and others.
