We have talked a lot about new situations and being somewhere new at various points in their life – new club/sport, new school etc. They have spent wo lessons making the most amazing board games for new situations – they have included many different aspects e.g. asking someone for directions move two spaces. The games are fantastic and we will enjoy playing them during wet play times. Great team work too!

A good Friday afternoon of PE – we were looking at pacing, and how this can be done with pairs running slightly different length circuits.
Some great group in both science and PSHE. Science was looking at the theories of flat Earth and spherical Earth and the supporting evidence to give a definitive answer . In PSHE the class came up with a set of class rules based on what kind of class and environment they want Willow class to be.
