Welcome to Willow Class 2025 - 2026
Willow Class is the bright and spacious home to 23 Year 3 and 4 pupils. It is equipped with a comfortable, well-stocked library, a large break out space perfect for art projects and small group work, and an attached outdoor classroom. In Willow Class we enjoy lots of paired and small group work and we use our trolley of Chrome books and ipads to enhance our learning. We also like to take our learning outside the classroom, participating in swimming and Judo lessons, weekly Forest School and fun school trips.
Teacher: Mrs Lunn
Teaching Assistant: Miss Hasker

Reading
Children should read every day, and it is still important, even if they are able to read by themselves, that they still read to an adult, or are read to by an adult. We would appreciate you having 'book talk' discussions with your child in order to develop their enjoyment of reading and their comprehension and word skills.
