Willow Class

Class teacher: Andreea Purghel

Welcome to Willow Class one of our Key Stage 3 classes here at Littlegreen Academy.

Autumn Term 2024 

Willow Class has had a fantastic start to the term! The pupils have welcomed our school values by showing acceptance and kindness towards each other. It has been heartwarming to see everyone actively engaging in getting to know one another and learning to be considerate and respectful.

In our English lessons, pupils have been incredibly courageous, effectively expressing their characters' emotions in their stories.
Moreover, we started our term's topic by sharing our knowledge about castles and building our own.

We have been using maps to explore connections between different locations. We are all eagerly looking forward to exploring more of castles and the people associated with them.

Autumn Term 2024 (2)

Willow Class has had a fantastic term! As part of their Action Team, pupils participated in trips and fundraising projects. It has been heartwarming to see them develop strong friendships throughout Lower School. 

In our English lessons, pupils have displayed remarkable courage and creativity. They have effectively expressed not only their own emotions but also those of various characters in their imaginative stories, showcasing their developing writing skills and emotional intelligence. 

We have thoroughly explored a diverse range of topics, including the fascinating history of castles, tunnels, and even some humorous discussions surrounding turds. These lessons have provoked thoughtful discussions and inspired a wealth of creativity among the students.

As we approach the end of the term, we wish everyone a well-deserved Christmas holiday filled with joy and relaxation. We eagerly look forward to what exciting opportunities and growth 2025 will bring for Willow Class and its talented Pupils!

Spring Term 2025

It has been an exciting and productive term so far, filled with learning, creativity, and collaboration.

In the past few weeks, our class has been diving into R.J. Palacio's Wonder. One of our key topics, "Where in the World," sparked thoughtful discussions as pupils explored different countries and cultures. We also focused on learning to tell the time, where our pupils demonstrated impressive problem-solving skills. Keep up the great work, everyone!

To celebrate World Book Day, we had a fantastic trip to Waterstones, where the pupils explored both fiction and nonfiction books. It was wonderful to see them so excited about reading and discovering new authors.

Our visit to Petersfield Heath was another highlight, giving pupils the chance to enjoy nature while showcasing their social skills and having fun.

Finally, during Independent Writing Week, Willow class created fantastic "All About Me" boxes. Each pupils wrote engaging stories and fact files, giving us a wonderful glimpse into their personalities and interests.

Keep shining, Willow class!
