Willow

Welcome to Willow Class

Working Together, Aiming High, Shining Brightly
Let your light shine before others - Matthew 5:16

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage which focuses on seven areas of learning and development: Personal, Social and Emotional, Communication and Language, Physical, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.

In Willow Class, much of the children’s learning is through play. They are encouraged to explore the open-ended resources in the environment, developing their interests, imagination and independence. Throughout the week, children also take part in small group teacher directed activities to consolidate or extend their knowledge.

This half term our topic will be:

London

The Queen

We will be enjoying a range of stories, and non fiction texts about London and the Queen in celebration of her Jubilee. 

RE-  Places that are special to us and why. This will include a visit to our local church. 

PE will be on a Tuesday  (visiting dance teacher) and Thursday this term.

Please can children have PE kits in school for those days.

Reading books will be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday. Please try to read with your child as often as possible. Please keep your child’s reading book and diary in their book bag and sign it each time you hear your child read.

Library books - Your child will bring home a library book from school each Friday. 

We will be visiting the Library Bus (Bedford Borough) on a Thursday afternoon (every 4 weeks)

Please log in to your child’s Tapestry account to see what we have been doing each week
