Willow (Foundation Stage and Year 1)

Welcome to Willow!

Willow class (Foundation & Year 1) is taught by Mrs Jenkins and Mrs Whyte with the support of Mrs Blackford, Miss Collett and Ms Simeone. This is for children aged 4-6. 

ONLINE LEARNING

With the school currently closed, all children can access their Home Learning documents via Class Dojo. Links to the documents can also be found below in the HOME LEARNING DOCUMENTS folder by clicking on the rainbow.

 The Home Learning documents provide phonics, English and Maths tasks as well as optional wider curriculum tasks. Thank you to everyone who has been putting work onto the Class Dojo portfolios! We are so happy to see all the fantastic learning going on in your homes.Children should be encouraged to keep reading every day, practise their phonics, draw and get outside to play too! The current guidance is that they should only be spending between 1 and 3 hours on school work each day.

Please contact us at willow@grove.oxon.sch.uk if you have any issues with using Class Dojo or need help with anything else.

A hard copy version of the online learning tasks is available for those who prefer to work offline. Please do let us know if you would like a hard copy to be prepared for you to collect from school on Monday afternoons between 1 pm and 3 pm.

We are putting links to free online learning resources too. Please see the link below for our Foundation and Year 1 children
