Welcome to Willow Class
Welcome to the Summer Term!
We are a mixed-age class with both Reception and Year 1 children. On this page, you’ll find everything you need—from curriculum information and our class timetable to helpful website links and activities to support learning at home.
This is an especially important term for our Year 1 children as we continue preparing for the Phonics Screening Check (PSC) in June. We’ll be sending home helpful resources via ClassDojo, so please check regularly and support your child with short, fun practice sessions. Please also use the PSC materials distributed in the last parents meeting at home – the words are really helpful for revising the sounds. Your child may like practising using this online game too https://ebooks.monsterphonics.com/phonics-screening-test/.
We’re looking forward to a busy and exciting term of learning together!

Curriculum Overview
Year 1 Spellings
Please find below a list of spelling words for Year 1 children to practise.
