Welcome to Larch Tree Class
Hello everyone! We are Larch Class, a class of 26 children who are ready to be resillent, reflective and resourceful learners. Our teacher is Miss Hedge and we have a wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Carlton-Paterson. When discussing our class rules during our transition days, we have agreed, this year, to be curious and creative learners, to be respectful of other peoples opinions, and most of all - to have fun! In our Topic work this term, we will be exploring The Victorians in detail, allowing us to continue to build on our collaborative learning by working hard as historians. This, therefore, will help us build on our skills needed to become a Global Citizen.
What are we learning about this term?
This term, our topic is titled 'Victorian Vision'. During this topic, we will be answering the question 'How has the Victorian Era impacted Britain today?'. Though this, we will look the key focuses of 'How did poverty affect the everyday life as a Victorian child?', 'How do paintings and media present the Victorian Era?', 'What was the industrial revolution?' and 'How were printing techniques used during the Victorian Era?'. As a year group, we will delve deeper into everyday life of chidlren, class divide and the use of the workhouse and factories. As well as this, we will look at how the industrial revolution changed holidays to the seaside and in art, will look at the work of William Morris and how printing changed communication in Victorian Britian.

I really enjoy PE at school because I love sports. We get to use the football goals and the adventure playground during break and lunch times. This year, I'm looking forward to not being the youngest in the school anymore because I'm now a Year 4! In class, I'm looking forward to learning about some more history! I really love maths and I enjoy English.

English is my favourite subject because I like writing. I enjoy learning about new punctuation and today we even wrote a sentence using a colon! A colon can be used at the start of a list! I'm looking forward to learning new things and also enrichment! Enrichment is on a Friday afternoon where we get to choose which fun activities we would like to do. If you get to 'Oustanding' on our behaviour chart you can pick your activity first!

I enjoy maths most at school! This is because I like addition and solving problems! I'm not afraid to make mistakes because everybody will make a mistake one day and they help our brains grow bigger. I'm looking forward to learning even more about maths this year! I feel safe and happy in school because all the adults will always help me!
