Welcome To Willow Class!

Hello, I am Miss Nutting and I am the class teacher in Willow Class. 
We are very lucky as we also have Mrs Mahoney and Mrs Goodall working with us this year. 

Spring 2 Topic

Family Album

We will be asking the question: 'How have toys changed over time?'

We will be covering many subjects through this topic:

Science - The children will observe and compare changes occurring during spring and compare weather associated with the seasons. They will learn how day length varies in different seasons and the children will update and add to their longitudinal study diary.

History- The children will explore photographs to tell the difference between past and present in their own and other people’s lives by using and making simple comparisons. They will order the events in their lives (in a chronological order) and they will explore how they have changed over time.  

Computing - The children will explore how stories can be presented in a variety of ways. They will learn how to add animations and sound effects to an image and they will create their own digital story.

Geography - The children use a range of maps and globes to explore, name, locate and identify characteristics of the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and its surrounding seas.

Maths - The children will explore the place value of numbers up to 50 and use this to partition numbers into tens and ones. They will also find 1 more and 1 less of given numbers to 50. The children will explore weight, height, length and volume and the unit measures linked to these.

English - The children will share their family’s favourite stories and they will begin to use simple adjectives to describe the characters and settings within each story. The children will write accurate, interesting sentences and they will continue to extend their sentences using conjunctions. They will also focus on a number of quality texts linked to their topic including ‘Little Red’ by Bethan Woolvin.

P.E.

Willow Class have P.E. on Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure your child has a full P.E. kit in school fully labelled with their name. Kits will be kept in school until the end of term. 

Reading

Children will be given new reading books on Tuesdays and Thursdays once a book has been read twice.  Please ensure you read with your child every night and leave a comment in their reading records to enable us to see how they have got on :). 

Homework 

Homework will be sent out each Friday, to be returned by the following Thursday. If you require any support with this, please let me know.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any worries/queries you may have.

Thank you for your support.
