Willow Class

Welcome to Willow Class!

Welcome to our Class!

Willow Class is a fun and loving learning environment taught by Miss Arrowsmith. We are a mix of Year 3 and Year 4 children who love to learn and embody our school vision, motto and values everyday.

The children are taught PE on a Monday and Friday afternoon.

To view our curriculum and knowledge organisers, please find Cycle B.

Additional Learning:

We encourage children to read at home five times per week and record this in their school reading diaries. Reading records and reading books should be in school on a daily basis.
We also encourage the use of Times Tables Rock Stars outside of the school hours to enhance the understanding and recall of multiplication tables.
Our weekly spellings are accessible on EdShed and documented in our school reading diaries. The spelling test takes place weekly on a Thursday.
To enhance and support the learning which takes place in school, the children will have home activities. Homework books will sent home with children on a Thursday, we ask for the children to bring the homework books back the following Thursday.
