Welcome to Willow

Week Beginning 3.11.2025

The children have had a very busy first week back at school. As part of our Drawing Club lessons we have been reading 'The Story of Life', a non fiction text. The children have learned the difference between fiction and non-fiction texts. We have spoken about how the natural world has evolved over time, comparing life long ago to now. The children are very excited about our Life Long Ago workshop, where we will explore fossils and meet baby dinosaurs! 

Preparation for our Christmas performance has started! Keep a look out in your child's bag for a slip about their role in our play.  

Subitising - Why It Is Important

A video which clearly explains the concept we are instilling in Maths at school.  The KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) your child has brought home are also included in this page's attachments and run beautifully alongside the message you will hear in the video.  

Support for Phonics at home

Please CLICK HERE for videos showing the sounds we teach in Autumn and Spring terms.  There are also really handy guides to accompany what the children will be learning in school and might be useful for when the children bring home decodable reading books.
