Year 4
Welcome to Birch Class!
When you come into our Year 4 classroom you will be greeted warmly with friendly and welcoming smiles.
We have two teachers: Mrs Gkikopoulos and Mrs Niven. We also have Ms Delaney to support us with our learning.
We have a busy, purposeful classroom, filled with resources such as atlases, dictionaries, maths equipment and working walls, which all help us to learn. We are learning to love a challenge and we all love using the chromebooks each week too!
We also have a wonderful calm space where we can be peaceful and take time to reflect. Here we can lounge on comfortable yellow cushions or sit together on the rugs to explore a wide range of interesting fiction books, non-fiction books and poetry.
Each week we can earn dojos or a certificate for showing improved work, having a good attitude to learning or for demonstrating kindness to others. We also follow our school values of compassion, friendship, perseverance, forgiveness, responsibility and trust.
