Willow Class update - Spring 2

Willow Class have had an amazing and action-packed second half of the term! After the February half-term break, we dove straight into our new topic, Once Upon a Bicycle. One of the biggest highlights was the children's first Year 3 school play, The Jolly Postman. They fully embraced their roles and narrator groups, growing in confidence, acting ability, and organisation skills. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and they were incredibly proud of their performance. It was a fantastic and memorable day for all! 

In English, we have been developing our skills in writing both formal and informal letters by taking on the roles of the Wicked Witch and other characters. Our focus has been The Jolly Postman, which we have read, performed, and analysed in detail to truly understand its structure and style. Through acting out the story, the children have built their confidence in storytelling and character expression. After Easter, we will be moving on to our exciting new topic, Flow, which the children are really looking forward to. 

In Maths, Willow Class have been focusing on money and time, developing their problem-solving skills and learning a range of strategies to tackle challenges. They have continued working hard on their 3, 4, and 8, times tables, which are essential building blocks for their mathematical understanding. In our money lessons, they have practised adding amounts over a pound, while in time, they have been learning to tell the time in different ways, including using the 24-hour clock. The children have shown fantastic perseverance, even when faced with tricky concepts. Well done, Willow Class! 

To round off the term, the children had a fantastic time at Forest School, where they had the exciting opportunity to make their own pizzas outdoors. Alongside this, they have been busy designing and building incredible pneumatic toys, which they found both challenging and rewarding. It has been a brilliant half-term filled with creativity, teamwork, and new experiences. Wishing Willow Class and their families a wonderful Easter. Enjoy your well-earned break!
