Welcome to Willow Class!

Willow Class is a hard working and friendly team taught by Mr Buckley and supported by Mrs Long, Mrs Wardale and Miss Watkins.

We are a mix of Year 3 and 4 children who all have a passion for learning new skills and gaining new knowledge.

PE days are on a Monday(Swimming) and a Friday. Please remember to come to school in PE kit on these days. Our PE units change each half term which gives us lots of variety and exercise!  

Reading books will also be changed every Monday.  We have an exciting range of both fiction and non-fiction to choose from in our class library, for children to take home, read and enjoy.

Weekly homework to support the learning taking place in the classroom:

  • 10-15 minutes daily reading- please record all reading in your reading diaries.  This may include free choice books you share together at home, as well as school reading books.  Reading books and reading diaries should be in school on a daily basis. 
  • Practise weekly spellings on paper and on Spelling Shed.  New assignments will be live every Friday with the following week's spelling focus
  • Practise multiplication tables using TTRS.  Just three minutes every night using this programme will see your child make progress in their rapid recall of times table facts. 

There may also be additional homework which will be sent home on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday.

For more information about our class, please look at the rest of our page or keep up to date by reading our class blogs and on Class Dojo!

Currently we are on Cycle B of our Curriculum.

If your child is currently in Year 4, they will be participating in the multiplication tables check (MTC) in June. The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. 

The link below will provide you with information about this check:

We use the White Rose scheme to teach maths in class 2, there are different units that change every few weeks. The scheme is an excellent way for the children to learn as each unit is broken down into small steps and the progress is rapid. Each unit has a pre and post assessment so the learning for each child is tracked. There are also lots of reasoning and problem solving questions for the children to dive deeper into and we use practical equipment to help us learn where we can.
