Good afternoon,

We have had a really productive week in Willow Class. We have finished our maths unit on number and place value, so now we will be moving on to having a look at the 4 operations. In English, we have continued with our chorological reports, looking at some of the specific features within them.

For geography, we have started looking at the different sections of a river and the characteristics the three sections have.  We will continue this next week, deepening our understanding.

Please keep encouraging the children to read, it is so important they read daily at home.

I hope you have a fun weekend,

Mr Reynolds

Good afternoon,

We have had a great week in Willow class. In maths, we have continued with number and place value, and in science, we have continued to explore classification. In English, we have started our new topic on chronological reports and have had fun with our first text.

Please keep encouraging your children to read daily and to keep trying with their spellings.

I hope you all have a restful weekend,

Mr Reynolds

Good afternoon,

This week we have started our unit on Wild Waters. We have recapped our understanding of the water cycle and have begun exploring rivers around the UK.

In English, the children have worked very hard on their persuasive letters, explaining why they would be the best choice for one of the roles of responsibility that we have in Year 6.

Please encourage the children to read when at home and record it in their Reading Record. It is really important that they read frequently and a range of books.

I hope you all have a great weekend,

Mr Reynolds

Good afternoon,

It has been a great 2 days getting to know the children of Willow class. We have completed a range of activities with the children showing how focused and positive they are.

We have discussed the responsibilities and privileges that Year 6 have and can apply for; it would be great if this weekend you could have a chat to the children about what role they would like to go for this year.

This year P.E. will be on a Wednesday, so please make sure children come in on a Wednesday in their P.E. kits.

If you have any questions please email me: willow@crowmoorschool.co.uk

Hope you have a fun weekend,

Mr Reynolds

Well, the end of term and the end of the year has happened and we are now entering the holidays.

We had a fun last week and the children were fantastic in their final assembly. They all spoke and some shared a poem, which I think epitomises the leaving of Primary School before the transition to Secondary. I enclose a copy of the poem for your reference – it isn’t mine and I take no credit other than finding it!

The Full Stop Day Poem

Thank you for your support this year – I have tried to make it as normal as possible but I am aware that we did sadly miss out on some of the usual activities. The children were resilient throughout the year and even though we had the enforced lockdown we managed to just about cram in the content in the hope the children have a good grounding for their next school.

Thank you very much for my presents – they were generous, unnecessary but gratefully accepted.

Please pass on my final best wishes to your child; I am confident they will enjoy the next stage of their life and that they are ready to move on.

There is no homework; it’s time to down tools and relax.

Thank you again.

Mr Wilmot

Well it’s been a busy and warm week. I am so glad to be back in school, it was so frustrating being at home and having to isolate. I feel for the children who are still isolating and hope they are all keeping their spirits up.

We have completed a few assessments this week – this is to give the children some idea as to where they are now we have almost completed Year 6. They have a few days left and will then progress to the next stage of their life. We have a final assembly on Tuesday where they will share memories. We will also sing a shanty about their time in Year 6 and we will read a poignant poem about the last hours of Primary life.

I informed the children that I too will be moving on at the end of this academic year. I have taken up a Deputy Head position in a school outside Shrewsbury and am looking forward to a new challenge. I have really enjoyed my six years at Crowmoor and am grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have had.

I thank you for your continued support and assistance over the last year – it has been anything but normal. I would like to think the children have had as good an experience as they could have had with the restrictions we have learnt to live with.

I will not be setting homework as the children are about to start their holiday; they won’t have any spellings either. The answers to last week’s homework will be posted as per normal and I will email work for those children who are isolating at home.

Have a great weekend; it is going to be a hot one by all accounts.

Mr Wilmot and Mrs Carrol-Lewis
