Willows
Welcome to Willow class page.
Our teacher is Mr Sermon.
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Button and Mr Connolly.
Light and Shadows-
We will be studying this area of science during the first half term.
All aspects will be reviewed and there will be an opportunity for the pupils to setup experiments to develop their knowledge of the subject.
I would encourage all families to experiment with light during this period and ask children to report their findings back to us at school.
Southern Europe
Our geography unit focuses on the countries which form the Mediterranean. Children will explore the capital cities and the weather. It would be wonderful that if they have been on holiday to any that they share their experiences with the class.
Maths
Our unit for this term will be ‘Fractions’ but will quickly be followed by 'Time' and 'Money'.
These units are taken from White Rose Maths
English
We have started ‘The Wild Robot’. The teaching sequences are taken from Power of Reading. The children loved 'The Iron Man' so we are continuing this obsession.

Reading
As a class we really enjoy reading and we read for at least 20 minutes a day . On completion of reading a book an AR test needs to be completed and this will see how much you remember.
Homework
Our homework is given out once a week on a Friday and should be returned by the Wednesday of the following week to allow for it to be marked. It is essential that work is completed as it is selected to support the learning for that week.
Links to home work can be found at the bottom of this page.
Times tables
We use Times tables rock stars to support your child's learning. It is essential that they access the website everyday to support their development in the recall of the facts. The quicker your child can recall the information, the quicker they will progress up the leader board.
