"Staff know every child at this school really well and put them at the heart of everything they do."
OFSTED Feb '23
In our class, we have a perfect mix of fabulous Year 4s and fantastic Year 5s! I teach full time in the classroom along with our amazing TAs - Mrs Woolaston and Miss Nelson. We are all really looking forward to having the children in the classroom for a new year and getting on with some brilliant learning.
Our PE days this term are Monday and Tuesday but please make sure the children have their kit in at the beginning of every week in case we change a day or even do additional PE outside of our scheduled time. This term we will be working towards the Burford Partnership events of cross country; football; boccia and hockey
We are really looking forward to Term 1 which will have lots of fun activities such as our history topic on Britain at War; sporting sessions including Football Forest School and mindfulness as well as lots of engaging English and Maths activities!
Here’s to being ‘The best we can be for ourselves and others’.

Highlights of the Year (so far)
Willow Class Orchestra
In February, Mrs Russ (our visiting music teacher) awarded the class a SHINE certificate for their teamwork as an orchestra. This is our class working together to play Beethoven's 5th Symphony on the glockenspiels. They followed the conductor and played their parts in groups, keeping time together. Mrs Russ and I were blown away by the results after only 10 minutes of practice! Watch this space for more musical accomplishments in the future...
