Willow Class update - Summer 1

Willow Class have had a fantastic half term following the Easter holidays, settling back into their learning with great enthusiasm. We began a new topic, Flow, moving on from The Jolly Postman. In English, we have been exploring River Eyes and Charlotte’s Web, both of which the children have thoroughly enjoyed. They have produced some incredible writing, from exciting adventure stories to engaging list poems, using rich vocabulary to bring their ideas to life. Their adventure stories were particularly impressive and an absolute pleasure to read. 

A highlight of the half term was our trip to Painshill Park, where the children had the opportunity to immerse themselves in outdoor learning—building rivers, playing themed games, and finishing the day with a fun-filled treasure hunt to find hidden gems! 

After the break, we’ll be moving into our final half term with a new topic: Scrumdiddlyumptious. We’ll be exploring all things food-related and diving into The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, a book many children have been eagerly waiting to read. 

In Maths, we began the half term by learning about time, including reading analogue clocks, digital clocks, and Roman numerals, as well as exploring dates and months of the year. We then moved on to fractions, where the children really shone, learning how to add and subtract fractions with confidence and enthusiasm. Fractions have definitely been a class favourite! After half term, we’ll be focusing on angles before moving on to shape and line. 

Forest School continues to be a much loved part of our half term. The children have thoroughly enjoyed participating in all the activities this half term, engaging with nature and developing their teamwork and problem-solving skills. 

Although this has been a shorter half term, it has been packed full of exciting learning and memorable experiences. Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable half term break. We look forward to returning for an exciting lead-up to the summer holidays!
