Teacher's Comments

Welcome to our beautiful Borough Class. In this classroom you will find kind, creative and unique children who have a passion for learning. In our class young minds blossom like the beautiful flowers in London's Borough station! Our class is named after Borough station located in the London Borough of Southwark. This is a vibrant and historically rich area with many museums and landmark buildings like the Shard. It is situated on the southern bank of the River Thames and is known for its diverse culture, bustling markets and iconic landmarks. It is also home to London Borough market. Just as the Borough area has a rich historical background, we aim to use history as a learning tool in our classroom. Explore past events, cultures, and traditions, allowing the children to gain a deeper appreciation for the world around them. We also encourage leaners to be vibrant and unique and create a sense of community within our classroom and school.

In Borough class, we believe in the power of kind words and friendly interactions. We will celebrate and cherish the unique qualities that every child brings and create a tapestry of friendships that enrich our learning journey. We are a caring and respectful class, who have a desire to learn. We believe that the best way to learn is through fun and interactive experiences. In Borough class we are not just learners, we are resourceful thinkers, eager collaborators and engaged explorers of knowledge. We face challenges with determination and positive attitudes, always looking for creative solutions. We support and care for our friends and always seek any opportunity to lend a helping hand. We create an open environment where we can discuss our feelings openly and listen without judgement, always making our friends feel heard and understood.

This will be a busy year where we will learn a lot. We will be learning about London, Moon Zoom, Paws, claws and whiskers, Enchanted worlds, Dinosaur discovery and Life on a plate.

Beautiful Borough class is a welcoming, kind and special class that celebrates our achievements together and encourages one another. We work hard and always try out best. Together, we build the foundation for lifelong learners who will go on to make a positive impact on the world.

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is your than you.
