Croeso - Welcome to Willow Class

Hello and Welcome to Willow Class
What a busy half-term we are having in Willow Class! As part of our topic work on the story of, 'The Three Little Pigs', we have been exploring what different things are made from. We have been learning about different materials and their properties.
See below for some photo montages from Willow Class.
Storytelling homework
The children will be bringing home stick puppets today. Please could you record them using the puppets to re-tell the story of The Three Little Pigs and then upload it to our private google classroom. We will be sharing the videos in class next week.
Many thanks

We have been learning about wool and where it comes from. Mrs Williams brought in her wool and knitting to show us.
We explored which materials were magnetic and which were not. We also enjoyed completing a water and oil investigation.


Book Bag Reminder
Please can your child's book bag be brought back to school every Monday. Thank you!
Our Topic
This half-term we are focusing our learning on the fairytale, 'The Three Little Pigs'. The children will be given opportunity to lead the learning. Please follow us on Twitter to see all the fantastic work in Willow Class.
P.E
P.E will be on a Tuesday and Thursday, so please can your child some to school wearing their P.E kit and trainers on these days. It would be a great benefit to your child if they could work at home on putting on (and taking off) their own socks and trainers to help them during these sessions. Thank you!
Snack
We have snack time every morning in class. Please see the newsletter email for information on how to sign up your child to our school fruit tuck club. Alternatively, you can send in your child each day with a fruit snack instead of signing up to the club. There will be milk and water freely available.
Things to remember:


Water bottle
Please send your child into school each day with a labelled water bottle. We will be sending home these bottles each evening to be washed at home, refilled and then returned to school the following day. The water bottle needs to be filled with water. No squash or juice please!

Spare Clothes
A spare change of clothes (e.g. pants and socks, trousers/skirt, t-shirt…) will be very useful. Please send the clothes in a small named drawstring bag and we will keep this on your child’s peg in case your child needs a change of clothes during the day.
coat
Please send your child in with a raincoat every day. The weather is very changeable, so a sunny early morning can quickly turn into a rainy day.
