Welcome to Willow!

Week beginning 17.3.25

This week, we have been building nine and ten and thinking deeply about their composition.  The children are becoming increasingly confident at talking about what they count, what they notice and why it's important - amazing progress!

We have been exploring London, as well as introducing the idea of past and present, through our new book, 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy'.  The children have been amazed that toys can hide under floorboards for so long while the world changes around them and have even been motivated to spot our own 'loose floorboards' in the classroom.  They have also loved the idea of seeing London, our capital city, changing through time and sometimes being affected by human decisions or disaster.

• Phonics support for parents

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.
