This year Willow class comprises of pupils in Year One and Year Two.

We offer a broad and balance curriculum tailored to meet the needs of our children. This also supports our aim to instil our school values and build well rounded individuals. We have daily phonics, English and Maths lessons. Children develop their reading, writing and maths skills through small group work, practical activities and focused tasks. We encourage children to become independent learners, building of their natural enthusiasm and resilience. We also have weekly PE sessions, Theme lessons (including Science) and PSHEE as we promote the importance of health and wellbeing. We also alternate each week between Computing and Music lessons each week. 

Our theme this half term is Towers, Tunnels and Turrets. This project teaches children everything they need to know about castles, from how castles have changed over time, the materials they are made from and the features of a castle. 

 

By the end of Year one and two the children need to be confident spelling a range of common exception words. These are words that do not follow standard phonics or spelling rules and the children need to know how to read and write these words.
