Wondrous Willow Class
Year Reception 2023-2024
Welcome to Wondrous Willows Class!
Teachers: Miss Jones and Mrs Archer (Wednesday)
This half term our project is "Ticket to Ride". During this project we will be investigating vehicles past and present, exploring space travel, designing rockets and finding out about different countries!
In our Literacy we will be using a Talk for Writing approach with a model text of "The Rainbow Fish". This story tells of the Rainbow Fish who is the most beautiful fish in the whole ocean with its iridescent scales. However as the Rainbow Fish is very vain and proud, he becomes more and more lonely over time. Then he realises that you can't win friends through beauty and begins to share his glittery scales with all the other fish!
Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday via Tapestry.
PE
PE will be on a Thursday. Children should come to school in their PE kit on their PE day.
