Key Information
Silver Birch Class is taught by Miss Allison. We are a Year Five and Six Class.
In Silver Birch, reading is really important. Please bring a bag to school everyday to keep your books safe and in good condition. The expectation for reading in Silver Birch is to read for at least 10 minutes each day.
Knowledge of times tables is also very important as they are used in many different areas of maths. The expectation is to work on learning and recalling times tables, and the associated division facts, at least three times a week through TTRockstars. Children will be rewarded with dojos for their times tables practice at home. We will be running TTRockstars tournaments regularly to give our superstars a chance to showcase their knowledge and skills on our championship table!
On this page, we will keep you up-to-date with any information regarding school work and things happening in Silver Birch. Please visit regularly.
PE
Please come to school in your PE kit every Tuesday and Friday. Please dress appropriately in plain (no logos, please) black shorts, jogging bottoms, or leggings, with a white T-shirt and a school jumper, fleece or cardigan. Earrings need to be covered appropriately and safely or removed on these days.
I am thrilled to be your teacher this year! I can’t wait to dive into exciting lessons, creative projects, and lots of fun learning together. I know this year will be full of growth, new challenges, and memorable moments.
Let’s make it a fantastic year, Silver Birch!
Thank you for your continued support.

Subject Ambassadors!
We are delighted to introduce Silver Birch's Subject Ambassadors! These children have been carefully chosen because they show a passion for their subject, a dedication to being the subject's voice and an inspiring to enthusiasm with others.
Our Subject Ambassadors play an important role in our classroom and across the school. They:
- Promote their subject by encouraging interest and excitement among their peers.
- Supporting classroom learning in their subject, by demonstrating commitment and sharing ideas.
- Get involved in subject-themed activities and competitions, showcasing what makes their subject special.
We are so proud of our ambassadors and the leadership values they demonstrate.
Meet Our Eco Champion and Happiness Hero!
We are proud to introduce two very special roles in our school community: Eco Champion and Happiness Hero. These roles help us create a sustainable, positive, and supportive environment for everyone.
Eco Champion
Our Eco Champion's work hard to make our school greener and more sustainable. Together, they help us reduce our impact on the planet and fight climate change.
Our Eco Champion’s responsibilities include:
- Keeping our school tidy and encouraging others to do the same.
- Reducing energy use by making sure lights are turned off when not needed.
- Sorting rubbish correctly, ensuring waste goes into the right bins for recycling.
By taking these steps, our Eco Champion helps us all do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint. Together, we can make a difference!
Happiness Hero
We are thrilled to introduce our Happiness Hero! This special role promotes joy and positivity within our class and school community. Our Happiness Hero embodies kindness and support, making a real difference to those around them.
This role links closely to our My Happy Mind programme, which we explore in weekly assemblies. Over the year, children learn through five modules that introduce habits and strategies to build resilience, self-esteem, and confidence.
Our Happiness Hero helps by:
- Encouraging positivity and kindness in everyday interactions.
- Supporting classmates to feel valued and included.
- Reminding us of the habits we learn in My Happy Mind, helping everyone use them in real life.
Through this role, we aim to create a happy, supportive environment where every child can thrive.
