Welcome to Willow class

We are a class of Year 2 and Year 3 children who love learning. Our topic this Spring Term will be all about the Ancient Egyptians. The children will be exploring important artefacts that have helped us understand how people lived in Ancient Egyptian times, looking at the discovery of Tutankhamun and the importance of the pyramids and the River Nile. In Art and D/T the children will be making a collage Death mask and making animal figures out of clay for their Canopic jars. We will be enjoying an Ancient Egyptian Day on Thursday 12 February 2026 where we would love the children to dress up as Ancient Egyptians. The children will be making and tasting flatbread dipped in honey with grapes and cheese, making Egyptian jewellery and pyramids.

In Science, we will be investigating the seasons and studying animals, including humans.

P.E will be on Mondays and Wednesdays this half-term.  Children are to come to school wearing their PE kit and earrings are to be taken out before school if children are unable to take them out. On Wednesdays, the children will be taking part in gymnastics, so the children may feel more comfortable wearing shorts for this lesson.

Please try and read with your child every day and ask them questions about what they have read and sign their reading record so that they can enter the Reading Raffle which takes place on Mondays.  All children who read four times or more will receive a star. If their name is pulled out, they get a chance to choose something from the golden box. 

New spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested the following Friday. Spellings are available on this page along with the creative curriculum homework.

Dates for Creative Curriculum homework to be shown in class are: Thursday 29th January, Thursday 12th February, Wednesday 4th March and Thursday 26th March.

The multi-sports festival will take place on Tuesday 10th March at Lincroft Academy.
