Hi I'm Sophie-Rose and for the last couple of weeks we have been practising high jump skills in the hall. Tomorrow  we are very sad because its Mr Tunley's last day at Birchwood.
Hi Zanthy again. Today Rm 8 went to sign language with Cathy and a special guest Careen who is  totally deaf. She told us about her childhood and learning to talk at school!!! it was very difficult for her because she wasn't allowed to use sign language and the teachers were very strict.

Hi I'm Zanthy and welcome to term 4. Sign language continues with Cathy. This term's focus is on creativity. Our topic is Forever Now and we are looking at how we can save energy. Stay tuned!
