Willow: Autumn 2, week 1

Date: 9th Nov 2025 @ 5:39pm

A breakdown of everything we looked at in school this past week:

Maths

The children revisited their understanding of place value, rounding numbers up and down, and counting in thousands. They had great fun playing a dice game where they rolled to created their own large numbers and rounded to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand.

English

Last term, we created non-chronological reports all about the human body. This week, we have started researching Victorian life in preparation for writing our very own non-fiction books about the Victorians. We had lots of fun role-playing as Victorian schoolchildren and factory workers during a lesson on hot-seating!

Science

We have started to explore how sounds are created and what makes them different. To help with our learning, we went on a fun walk around school to listen carefully to all the different sounds we could hear. It was exciting to discover how many sounds are around us every day!

VIP

Well done to Dominic and Maddison for being awarded Writing Champions! 

Next week in Willow...

Next week is anti-bullying and frienship week - we have a lots of fun things going on in school to celebrate this! Year 4 will continue with their swimming lessons on Wednesday and VIP will be for kindness/friendship.
