Please try practising these words at home using flashcards. You can also get your child to write them using different coloured pens to make rainbow words and reinforce their learning at home.

Welcome to Willow Class
It has been lovely to welcome all the children into Willow Class this week and we have enjoyed getting to know them all. They are a wonderful class and we are looking forward to a fun year ahead!
Our topic for this term is 'Starry Nights and Twinkly Lights' and we have started by reading the 'Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch'. We have been exploring why the light at the top of the lighthouse is important and how it helps to keep people safe.
We have also been talking about what we already know about light and have discussed things that we would like to learn and find out to develop our knowledge further.

Have a look at all the wonderful ideas and questions that the children came up with below:
PE will be on a Wednesday
Could your child please wear their PE kit to school on this day to support the current social distancing measures that are in place.
Forest School will be every other Thursday beginning on September 24th
Could you please provide your child with some wellies that can be left in school and please ensure that they have your child's name on them.
