We have had another fantastic week in Birch class this week. It has been Maths’s week at #TeamCarrMill and we have learnt about estimation and multiplication through the story 'How many Jellybeans?' We used our estimation skills to guess how many jellybeans were in the jar and then our multiplication skills to count the exact total. The person with the most accurate estimation got to take the whole jar home!
In English, we have been writing about a journey down a river. We have tried hard to use noun phrases in our writing to make it more interesting for the reader. We are proud of our work!
In computing we have shared some very important messages with the children around staying safe online. We used the 'Jessie and Friends video' from the 'Think U Know website to talk about what images are safe to share online and how to keep ourselves safe.
Thank you to all the children that have entered our maths story competition, we have had some fantastic entries. Well done!

We ended our week with Kid's choice because of our high attendance last week. Fingers crossed we have won again this week!
Next week brings even more excitement as we will be exploring a new story in English called 'The Tiger who came to Tea' and starting our Geography topic based on Villages, Towns and Cities. Do you know the name of the town that we live in?

Happy New Year!

Birch Class were happy to be back to school and be part of #teamcarrmill!

This week we shared our stories from the winter break and got to meet our new student teacher, Miss O’Neill, who will be staying with us for a few weeks.

We began our week with a new book in English called ‘A River’ and have been making predictions of what will happen in the story. In science we started a new topic about habitats and which animals can live in them. Before it got too cold, we were able to look in the Friendship Garden and wooded area to see what animals or insects we could find.

Everyone was happy to see Coach Olivia back for a PE lesson where we played dodgeball where Team River won and Seleen got ‘Star Of The Day’ for her hard work.

VIP was awarded to EDEN this week for her kind and polite attitude. Well done Eden!

Next week is maths week in school! We have some exciting activities planned and a competition for you to take part in (check Seesaw for more information).
