Message from the Willow Class Team

A very warm welcome to Willow Class! We are so excited to begin this new school year with your children and to guide them through what promises to be a fun, challenging, and rewarding journey. This year is full of exciting learning opportunities as we explore fascinating topics. Beyond the classroom, we are also looking forward to special events that make Year 5 so memorable. Highlights will include our Activity Week, where the children will take part in new experiences that develop teamwork and confidence, as well as our end-of-year performance, a chance for the children to showcase their creativity and talents.​

We are truly excited to teach your children this year and can’t wait to see all that they will achieve.

Mrs Brogen and Mrs Flint

Our Learning

Homework

Whilst our classes are full of learning and development, a few minutes each day at home on tasks such as reading and maths can have a huge impact. We ask each of our children to do the following each week:
