Welcome to Willow Class!
Willow Class is taught by Miss Douglas. We are a Year Five Class.
I'm so excited to have you join us on our learning adventure this year. Here, you’ll find everything you need to stay updated on our classroom activities, important dates, and all the exciting things we’re working on.
From creative projects to inspiring lessons, Willow class is a place where we grow, learn, and have fun together. I look forward to sharing our progress and achievements with you throughout the year.
Thank you for being a part of our journey!
PE
This term, Willow Class will have 2 opportunities for PE a week. On Tuesdays, all children will take part in indoor PE with Miss Douglas. On Fridays, all children will take part in outdoor PE with Mr Lofts, or a member of his sports team from ADA (Aspire, Develop, Achieve) Sports Company.
Please send your child to school in their P.E kits on a Tuesday and Friday.
Our P.E kit is a plain white t-shirt, plain black shorts or jogging trousers with black trainers or plimsolls. Our school sweatshirt can also be worn. Please wear joggers in the cooler weather.
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the lesson / weather with earrings removed/ covered by plasters or tape.

Subject Ambassadors!
We are delighted to introduce Willow's Subject Ambassadors! These children have been carefully chosen because they show a passion for their subject, a dedication to being the subject's voice and an inspiring to enthusiasm with others.
Our Subject Ambassadors play an important role in our classroom and across the school. They:
- Promote their subject by encouraging interest and excitement among their peers.
- Supporting classroom learning in their subject, by demonstrating commitment and sharing ideas.
- Get involved in subject-themed activities and competitions, showcasing what makes their subject special.
We are so proud of our ambassadors and the leadership values they demonstrate.
Eco-Champion!
We are proud to introduce our Eco Champion!
Our Eco Champion’s responsibilities include:
- Keeping our school tidy and encouraging others to do the same.
- Reducing energy use by making sure lights are turned off when they’re not needed.
- Sorting rubbish correctly, ensuring waste goes into the right bins for recycling.
By taking these steps, our Eco Champion helps us all do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise our impact on the planet and climate change. Together, we can make a difference!
Happiness Hero!
We are thrilled to introduce our Happiness Hero! This special role is all about promoting joy and positivity within our class and school community. Our Happiness Hero embodies kindness and support, making a real difference to those around them.
This role links closely to our My Happy Mind programme, which we explore in weekly assemblies. Over the year, children learn through five modules that introduce new habits and strategies to build resilience, self-esteem, and confidence. Our Happiness Hero helps bring these ideas to life by:
- Encouraging positivity and kindness in everyday interactions.
- Supporting classmates to feel valued and included.
- Reminding us of the habits we learn in My Happy Mind, helping everyone to use them in real life.
Through this role, we aim to create a happy, supportive environment where every child can thrive.
