Monday - Wednesday
My favourite book when I was younger was The BFG. This is because I loved Sophie's adventure and the mischief she got up to with the BFG. My favourite subject was maths because I love to solve puzzles/ problems.
Welcome to Willow class.
We begin our learning at 8.45 each morning and you can enter through the key stage one playground via the key stage one door. You will need your reading book, PE kit and water bottle each day. We have outdoor learning every Monday, so please ensure that your child has spare clothes, wellies and waterproofs (or they can use their school coat) each week. Please make sure you label everything!
We have many exciting lessons to share and below is the rolling programme for you to explore. Our spellings will be set every Monday, in your child's spelling book and is expected to be returned the following Monday. Alongside this, we would like the children to read five times a week and to practice the phonic GPCs (sounds). If you are unsure about this, then please speak to a member of the Year 1 team, as we will be happy to help you. In the link below is copy of the Little Wandle taught GPCs for Year 1 that all parents received as a handout in September.
On hot days, please remember a hat and sun lotion to be applied before school. In the winter months, always bring a warm coat because we will often be learning outside. Thank you very much.

Thursday and Friday
My favourite book when I was young was Paddington because he has so much fun and even when things go wrong, he finds his way through plus he has a marmalade sandwich in his hat "just in case" and that is always a good idea.
My favourite subject at school was English as I have always loved stories and taking adventures in my head.
