Life in Willow Class

Welcome to Willow Class! Our class is a vibrant and welcoming community where students enjoy a positive and enthusiastic approach to learning. We take pride in our hardworking attitudes and support each other to achieve our best. Throughout the year, we explore exciting topics that spark curiosity and inspire creativity, making learning both fun and meaningful. From engaging projects to enjoyable classroom activities, life in Willow Class is full of memorable experiences and opportunities for growth. We love working together and celebrating our successes every day!

Homework

As well as practising reading, spelling and number facts regularly, we are given a menu of activities to choose from each half term. We are expected to complete at least 3 of these activities over the half term and should hand in each one as it is completed. Weekly homework is also given out, to reinforce learning.

Spellings

Spellings are sent home every week (Thursdays) and we will be tested on the words the following week. It will really help us if we practise our spellings every week!

Reading

We are expected to practise our reading everyday by aiming to read at least 10 pages. It helps us if parents talk to us about what we are reading. For fiction texts, we could discuss the genre, plot, characters, endings, language used etc. For non-fiction texts, examples of things we could talk about include the type of text, its purpose, audience and structure.

Our PE days are Monday (outdoor) and Thursday (indoor). Pupils are expected to come in to school dressed in PE kits on these days.
