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 half term in Beech Class. The children have planned, designed and made Egyptian Shadufs. 
We showed resilience and perseverance when things didn't always work first time. Well done Beech Class.

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!

Homework:

In order for you to see what your child is learning in school and to support them in that, the following work will be sent home:

• Children will bring home a piece of English and Maths work each Friday to support the work they are doing in school.
