Welcome to Birch class!

Teacher: Mrs Kabalan

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Patel

A very warm welcome to Birch class. On this page, you will find information about your child’s learning and other useful class information.

Reading

Reading serves as the foundation for all your child's learning. It helps to widen their vocabulary and expand their imagination. We will change your child's reading book once a week. Your child will have a red reading log book to record the day we change their book. We expect children to read at home to an adult 3 times a week so they can earn reading badges. Children need to read 10 books for a bronze badge, 14 books for a silver badge and 18 books for a gold badge.

For more information, please visit the Phonics and Reading pages of our website, via the Curriculum tab.
