Willow Class Blog:
​Hello Willow families,
It’s been a wonderful  week in Willow Class! Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to:
English – Writing Legends 📝In English, we’ve continued working on writing our own legends, drawing inspiration from The Mermaid of Zennor. Today, we focused on proofreading our work together to ensure our legends are clear and well-crafted. The children have been so creative with their ideas, and it's been lovely to see their stories come to life!
Gymnastics in PE 🤸‍♀️In PE, we’ve begun a new half-term unit on gymnastics. The children have been learning a variety of different movements and putting them together into short routines in small groups. It’s been fantastic to see their teamwork and creativity in action as they build their routines!
Science – Rocks and the Rock Cycle 🪨We’ve started our new Science unit all about Rocks and the Rock Cycle. The children have been sharing some incredible prior knowledge, which has led to some really interesting discussions. We’ll be exploring how rocks are formed and how they change over time – it’s already shaping up to be an exciting topic!
French with Marion Banks
The children are lucky to have Marion Banks joining us for French lessons on Monday afternoons. They thoroughly enjoyed their first session this week, and it's been wonderful to see their enthusiasm for learning a new language.
Show and Tell 🌟Show and Tell this week was such a lovely experience! The children shared a variety of items – from toys to photos, and even certificates – and it was great to see them answering questions and proudly talking about their chosen items. It’s always such a great opportunity for them to practise their speaking and listening skills.
Parents’ Evening 🗓️Parents’ evenings are coming up next week! Mrs Nuthall’s meetings will be on Monday, 11th November, and Mrs Hoole’s on Wednesday, 13th November. There is also a chance for an appointment on Wednesday, 20th November, if needed. The sign-up sheets will be available in the shelter after school tomorrow, so please do pop by to reserve a slot. If you have any specific topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to message us ahead of time so we can make sure we’re fully prepared to answer all your questions.

That’s all for this week! We’re looking forward to another busy and fun-filled week ahead. Thank you as always for your continued support.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
