Welcome to Willow

Week Beginning 17.11.2025

This week, we joined in with Brake’s Beep Beep Road Safety Week!  We talked to the children about staying safe on the roads and gave them basic messages about the dangers of traffic. In particular, we talked about the importance of children holding hands with a grown up when walking near roads to help keep them safe. We also talked about how to cross roads safely with a grown up. On average, 9 children aged 7 or under are killed or injured on roads in Britain every day. We are doing our bit to try and make sure this never happens in our community. Please help us by supervising your child closely on roads and helping them learn about road safety. We are also encouraging children to become champions for road safety and to use 'pester power' to ask grown ups to help keep them safe on roads.  The children have told us they have been speaking to you at home about what we have learned, which is fantastic!  They are asking you to:

• always hold their hand when walking near roads

• always find a safe place to cross the road

• show them how to look out for traffic by using the Green Cross Code

• always walk on the pavement or footpath

Please talk to your child about the messages they have learned this week, to show them you understand the importance of keeping them safe near roads.

The children are taking their singing VERY seriously as we learn more songs for our Christmas performance.  We have popped the lyrics for each song below, in case they are singing them at home, too!

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.  

Support for Phonics at home

Please CLICK HERE for videos showing the sounds we teach in Autumn and Spring terms.  There are also really handy guides to accompany what the children will be learning in school and might be useful for when the children bring home decodable reading books.
