Cliddesden Primary School

Welcome to Willow Class. We are a mixed Foundation Stage and Year 1 class. Our class teachers are Mrs Nicholson and Mrs Robinson, supported by Mrs Garland.

Learning themes in Willow Class for this first half-term are ‘Me and my school’ for our Reception children, and ‘What is special about Cliddesden?’ for our Year 1 children. Then after half term everyone will be exploring ‘On a beam of light’ and Christmas.

We will start the term learning about each other and how we learn and play together to become a great class. Our focus will be settling our new children into life in Willow Class and Cliddesden School. We will be exploring our new environment, looking at how we are all different, what we need to grow and be healthy and how we change as we grow. The Year 1’s will be finding out about where we live. Their science focus will be on being healthy, including diet, exercise and our senses. We will be naming our key body parts and learning about their functions.

After half term we will be finding out about nursing now and in the past and Guy Fawkes. We will be exploring light and dark around us. The children will be using their senses to explore their environment, and learn about the seasons.

We will all be looking forward to finding out more about Christmas and its traditions.
