Willow 2022 - 2023

Hello my Willow superstars!

I’m so excited for the weeks ahead with my amazing Willow family! This half term we will be learning all about everyday materials in science, transport inventions in history, painting astronauts in art and design,  interpretive dance in PE, Islam in RE, plus much, much more! We also have our daily writing, reading, phonics and maths lessons to look forward to, where we will explore key concepts through the use of puppetry, practical activities, singing and dancing, hands-on resources, and role play… to name but a few! We’re going to have such a blast!

If you would like any further details on the Year 1 curriculum then please see the curriculum overview for this half-term below. You may also view the knowledge organisers below, in order to gain more detail on each new topic. 

Forest School: 

We are lucky enough to have Mr Garrett taking us for forest school every Thursday afternoon! Please ensure that you have your full forest school kit with you on Thursdays, which we'll send home if and when they get muddy! It's going to be such fun!

PE Kits and Wellies:

Our PE session will take place on Wednesdays (indoor) but please ensure that your PE kits are always in school during term time. Please also ensure that wellies are left in school in a plastic bag, as we regularly take our learning outside to Nature’s Nook or the allotment.

We’re going to continue to have the best year together my little superstars! 

Warm wishes always,

Mrs Hargreaves
