Welcome to Willow!

Week Beginning 23.6.2025

This week, we have been building on our work on inventions.  We have been exploring a 'tale from the past', where Mickey Mouse is hoodwinked into buying a helpful robot...who very quickly becomes more of a nuisance!  We have been learning and using lots of new words to support our questions and discussions, including: irked, invention and useful.  We are also using words we have learned before: dwelling and transform.  The children have been coming up with their own ideas to change the purpose of Mickey's invention; to support this, we are also reading our chapter book 'The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me'.  Over the next few weeks, we are planning on using our expert inventing skills to help Miss Griggs out with a problem!  

Please make sure that your child has a hat and water bottle with them every day and suncream applied before school.

Phase 3 sounds taught in Reception Spring 1

• 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.
