Welcome to Willow Class

 

  Classteachers: Miss J. Dandy/Mrs. L. Dhanak

 

Welcome to Willow!

Week beginning 2.6.25

This week, the children have settled back into their school routines very smoothly!  They were so excited to meet our new additions; we are looking after endangered grey partridge eggs as part of a nationwide conservation project and the chicks have started to hatch!  Over the next week, the children will be caring for these creatures and learning about their future release; they have already said they are just like Sir David Attenborough!  We are having wonderful conversations about how wild animals are different from domestic animals and the importance of preserving habitats.

In Maths, we have been learning about rotating and manipulating shapes, as well as using what we know about number to find a missing part of a number problem.  It has been lovely to hear the children working systematically with their Talk Partners so confidently as we apply our knowledge of number in more complex ways.

Please remember that, should the weather remain warm, the children will need a named sun hat and have a daily sunscreen applied before school.  Thank you.

Please find Tricky Words below to practise reading at home. Feel free to print them and cut out as flashcards, see if they can read them on screen, or work together to spot them in books. These words are called Tricky Words because (at the moment), we can't sound them out - we just have to learn to read them.
