Willow Class

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our Willow class page!

Mrs Carver, Mr Shears and I are extremely excited about all the new adventures that lie before us this year. 

In this class, the children will be starting to work more independently on a variety of exciting and fun subject areas, with the aim of retaining 'sticky knowledge'. We aim for the children to become immersed in all areas of learning whilst having fun along the way.

Along with our subjects, the children can look forward to forest school, external visitors coming into school and various school trips.

I look forward to many wonderful days learning together.
