Willow class- Nursery to Year 2 children 2021 - 2022

Welcome back to all of Willow Class!

Good to have you all back this Autumn term. I hope you all had a great summer holiday. Myself and Mrs.Wilson will continue to work with the children in Willow Class, as well as Mrs.Prescott and Mrs.Tjaveondja who will be in class each Monday afternoon teaching Music, RE and PSHE.

Blended Learning Plan:

In the event of the school closing due to positive covid cases we will use a blended learning.  For daily planning please access the homework assigned to your child's school spida account. Work will be updated daily and we ask you either upload completed tasks or submit a photo via email.  Work will then be marked and messages posted to your child's account. If there are any problems please let me know immediately via my email c.whiteside@pinfold.lancs.sch.uk 

We will also offer live lessons with either Miss.Whiteside or Mrs.Wilson -see the timetable below

Links for the live lessons will be emailed to parents via school spida accounts.

Home Reading:
Reading books will be sent out on a Friday and will be changed on a weekly basis. We encourage the children to read daily. Please check out my video on supporting your child read at home. Please make sure you have your child's reading record in on Fridays so we can read your comments. 

PE:
PE this year will take place every Monday.  Children can wear their school PE kits all day on this day. Please make sure your child has pumps or trainers with velcro not laces (unless they can tie laces) as we want children to be as independent as possible.

Swimming:  Children will need a swim hat on this day please. If your child is still in nappies they will also need a swimming nappy. 

Home Learning: 
Homework for Year One and Two will be set weekly on a Friday and should be completed no later than the following Wednesday. Homework will consist of activity that will follow on from work in class that week. 

Forest school:  We will be going to the base at a local wood every Thursday for Autumn Term 1, Spring 1 and Summer 1. For further information please see our Forest school page. 

Drinking and Eating:
Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school as we encourage children to drink during the school day. You can order milk for your child in Willow class via Cool Milk website (https://www.coolmilk.com/).   It is free for all children under 5 years but after their 5th birthday you will need to pay via the cool milk website for it. Lancashire council provide a free piece of fruit for each child and this is delivered directly to school. 

Should you need to contact me please do not hesitate to get in touch via the school office and I will return your call or email as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to a brilliant school year ahead, 
Miss.Whiteside!
