This week we are continuing to focus on the book ‘Quest’ by Aaron Becker in our English and Communication and Art and Design work. We will be thinking about the theme of friendship and what makes a good friend. We will be writing about how to be a good friend and thinking about and writing descriptions of the boy and the girl in the ‘Quest’ story. We will also be doing some more work on our Quest display.

This week in Phonics we will be revisiting the phonemes sh, th, ng, ai. and ee. In Maths we will be continuing to focus on the numbers 0 to 10. We will be comparing groups of objects and numbers and starting to use the vocabulary greater than, less than, same as, equal to, more and fewer.

In RE we will be discussing what the story of the Lost Son means to Christians and how they put their belief of God as a forgiving Father into practise in their worship. In PE we will be continuing to develop different ways of moving and balancing as part of a gymnastics module. In our Computing lesson we will be learning to retrieve a file that we saved last week and will be exploring the workspace and icons on Purple Mash. In Science we will be learning about the properties of everyday materials and looking at the properties of different objects in the classroom.

We are also hosting a ‘Meet the Teacher’ event on Wednesday 22nd September at 3:05pm, where you can find out about what learning will look like in Willow Class this year. If you are unable to join us on Wednesday, please let Mrs Pring know so that we can plan how to cascade the information to you in another way.

If you have any questions or need help with anything please contact us using the class email address (willow@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk).
