Willow

Welcome to Willow

We are a small, yet perfectly formed, class of Year 1 and 2 children taught by Mrs Pallant, Mrs Stead and Mrs Gothard. We follow an engaging curriculum aiming to not only teach skills and knowledge but to equip the children with the learning behaviours and increased independence needed for school and beyond.

PE

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. On PE days, the children come to school in their PE kits, which is a white top, blue or black jogging bottoms or shorts, a blue or black sweatshirt and trainers. Long hair should be tied up and earrings should be covered or taken out.

Class Dojo

Class Dojo is the platform we use to share information regarding your child. We keep parents and carers updated regularly posting wow moments that the children share with us in class.
Class Dojo can be downloaded as a free app onto any iphone or android phone.
The class teacher will send you a code using the given email address or mobile phone number for you to connect to your child's account. Class story will be used for any full class information or home learning activities the class teacher may set.
You will only be able to see your own child's portfolio of work and dojo points.
This is also used to message your child's class teacher.

Reading
Children are encouraged to read at home daily as well as in the classroom. Year 1 and 2 children will be encouraged to take ownership of changing their book when needed.

Summer Topic: Coastlines

In the Coastline project, your child will use maps to learn about the location of the world’s seas and oceans and keys to learn about map symbols. They will also find out about the directions on a compass. They will learn about the human and physical features of a coastline, including the effects of erosion and how to stay safe when visiting the coast. They will have the opportunity to learn about the work of the RNLI, what happened to the SS Rohilla and about the coastal town of Whitby, including how Captain Cook is linked to the town. They will research the tourism industry and consider what features make a place a successful tourist destination.
