Willow (Year 1/2)

Class Teachers: Mrs Goodman and Mrs Tagg

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Williams

A very warm welcome to Willow Class! We are so pleased to have your child with us and are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, exploring and growing together. Our goal is to create a welcoming and engaging environment where every child can flourish.

Willow Class is taught by Mrs Goodman (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and Mrs Tagg (Thursday and Friday) with Mrs Williams as the main class TA throughout the week. 

Here are a few useful reminders as we begin the term:

  • PE is every Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on this day, ready for an active session.

 

  • Please ensure all uniform, including PE kit, is clearly named. This helps us return lost items quickly and keeps lost property to a minimum.

 

  • Water bottles should be brought in daily. We encourage children to drink water throughout the day and refill when needed.

 

  • Snack time is mid-morning. A healthy snack will be provided, but your child is welcome to bring their own fruit or vegetables if they prefer.

 

  • Reading is a vital part of your child’s learning. Please support us by reading with your child every day at home, even if it’s just for 10 minutes. Regular reading builds confidence, vocabulary and a love of stories that lasts a lifetime. We will be issuing reading books from the 2nd full week of term 1. We will continue to read with your child weekly, however we no longer be leaving comments in recording records.

 

  • We will set termly homework challenges via Dojo. This will contain a mix of English, Maths & creative tasks. Children are expected to complete at least one (or as many) of the tasks each term. All work will be celebrated at end-of-term showcases!

 

We’re very much looking forward to working with you to support your child’s development and celebrate all their successes. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Warm wishes,
Mrs Goodman, Mrs Tagg and Mrs Williams
