Willow Spring 1 Week 1

Date: 9th Jan 2025 @ 3:57pm

What an exciting and snowy first week back!

The children have all been super excited to share stories about their time off over the christmas holidays and have thrown themselves back into their learning. 

In our reading and writing lessons, the children have began to read The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. They have really enjoyed the beginning of the story and are eager to find out what will happen next. We will continue reading this book over the half term and children have begun to write their own versions of the opening of the story. Some amazing decriptive work has been shared so far!

In Maths, we are focussing on methods of written division. Although this is a difficult topic (especailly for the first week back) I have been so proud of how determined the children have been to master this! 

Afternoons this week have been filled with French (we are learning the numbers to 50), Science and PE. 

In science, the childen have created their own investigation to discover if a seed will grow without one of its basic needs (air, water, nutrients, room to grow and sunlight). The children were very excited to plant their seeds and we will be obsvering them over the coming week to see if any of them grow into plants. Please have a look at some of the pictures below of the children planting their seeds!

Next week is maths week in school - we will be learning maths through a story called 365 penguins (imagine one penguin turned up at your house every single day for the next year! Where would you keep them all? How much food would you need to buy?). We will also be holding a TTRockstars battle to see who our times tables experts are and there will be a special homework task set on seesaw so please keep your eyes peeled for that.
