Hinchliffe Mill Junior & Infant School

Hello from Beech Class,

Our teacher is Mrs Marsden and our teaching assistants are  Mrs Fletcher, Miss Tilburn and Mrs Hosker.

We are a mixed year group class and our classroom is busy and fun packed. We fit a lot of learning into our day.

We have a great start back to the new school year in Beech Class. The children are working hard and producing some great work. 
We are studying The Ancient Egyptians and  we have been explorers, using our mapping skills to find Tutankhamun's tomb and all the treasures that were buried in there!

In Science, we have been food detectives in our forest school. We found lots of different foods and looked at the packaging to see whether they had red, yellow or green labelling.

We decided tomatoes were the healthiest with green for fats, saturated fats, sugar and salt and Kit Kats were the least healthy because all the labelling was red!
