Welcome to Willow Class
ALL ABOUT WILLOW CLASS
Classroom organisation:
Willow class is a year 2 class.
Staff: Mrs Loftus is the class teacher Monday to Wednesday and Mrs Elvish is the class teacher Thursday and Friday afternoon. Mrs Browne is the HLTA on a Monday and Tuesday and Mrs Piatrovich is the Learning Support Assistant and HLTA and teaches Willow Class on a Friday morning.
Level of Work: The year 2 children will be following the National Curriculum.
Behaviour: There are high expectations for achievement and behaviour. The children will talk about how to be a good member of Willow Class and what rules we need to follow. If a child uses negative behaviour we use the restorative justice approach in order for them to talk about their behaviour and think of ways to improve it and fix the problem.
Uniform and Daily Routine
Water bottles: Please provide your child with a named water bottle; these will be kept in a tray in the classroom and children can access these throughout the day. Please fill these with water only.
Snack: The children are provided with a healthy snack each day at break time.
PE days: Please ensure your child comes to school in PE kit on these days. They will remain in their PE kit and shoes for the day.
Reading books and reading record: Please sign your child’s reading record with the date and a short comment. Please try to hear your child read regularly and help them to develop their comprehension skills by asking them about what they are reading. Your child will be given a new book weekly.
Homework: Phonics or spelling words will be sent home on a Monday. Please support your child to write their sentences using the words provided.
Please ensure the spelling books are returned by Friday.
Maths
Please support your child in practising their number bonds and counting forwards and backwards from any given number.
Reading Awards: During celebration assembly (every two weeks) two pupils from each class will be awarded Reader of the Week.
Picking up: Please can you let the office or the teacher know if your child will be picked up by another adult and whether this is regular or a one-off. This will help when dismissing the children.
If you have any concerns or things you would like to discuss then please let the office know and we can get back to you or catch Mrs Loftus/Mrs Elvish at the end of the day.
Thank you for your support.
