Miss Cross

Welcome to Willow Class!

Mr Stone and Mrs Wood welcome you to Willow class.

We are a mixed class of Year 1 and 2 children. We love all our learning and work hard in all our subjects.

Welcome back to the second half of the Summer Term

We have just had a new canopy built in an outdoor area which will mean it is much better to use all year round. Photos will follow shortly.

Our continuous provision activities help us to secure our learning, be independent and be creative. These are often linked to books we are reading in class, our phonics, maths or topic work.

It is our last half term in Willow class and there is lots going on.

On Thursday 6th June we will be visiting Cheltenham Science Festival and learning lots about how to be Astronauts!
