Welcome to Willow

Week Beginning 16.3.26

This week, we have been using the book 'Owl Babies' as a stimulus for our learning, which is all leading up to very exciting and supporting visitors in the Summer term!

We have used the words:

soaring, petrified, cherish, nocturnal

to support our discussions.  We will be studying this text for two weeks, looking deeply at the characters and events of the tale.  

I have been especially proud of how independent and determined the children have been in writing their own ideas; I was honestly blown away this week by how they all had a go at formulating and creating their own labels for owl babies!  What super writing and positive learning attitudes, Willow; well done.

 

 

Subitising - Why It Is Important

A video which clearly explains the concept we are instilling in Maths at school.  The KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) your child has brought home are also included in this page's attachments and run beautifully alongside the message you will hear in the video.
