Welcome to Lower Woodford class
We are now in our final two terms of the year and we are looking forward to enjoying time together and taking more of our learning outdoors as the weather gets warmer. Thank you for all your support with home learning during lockdown. We are really proud of how well the children have settled back in to being a class of 30 in school again.
Our topic for the summer term is Africa, do have a look at this terms topic map to find out more Africa Topic map. If you have visited Africa or have family in Africa and would like to tell us more, please do get in touch.
Please do keep reading regularly with your child – little and often really does make a difference.
Have a look at our Year 1 reading spine for some suggestions of picture and short chapter books to read together at home.
Please come to school in PE kit on Wednesday (PE) and Thursday (gym). Please bring school clothes to change into in case we get wet.
Also have a look at 10 things to do in Lower Woodford to see some of the things we hope to do through the year.
Our whole school value this term is forgiveness. This can sometimes be easy to understand but difficult to do. Do have a chat at home about how we can forgive and ask for forgiveness.
This week we found several broken egg shells and identified them using this page on the Woodland trust. Why not keep your eyes open on walks and see what others you can find.
We are enjoying spending time in the school garden and have potted out lots of tomato plants, planted onions and kept our eyes open for signs of Spring. Photos to follow soon.
Take care and stay safe,
Miss Naish

This year we are supported by our lovely TA Mrs Julie Young
Lower Woodford have decided these are our class rules this year:
Listen to adults and each other. Be kind, gentle and helpful. Talk quietly don’t shout.
Look after the classroom, toys and school. Tell the truth. Give each other air hugs. Ask before leaving our space.
Keep our things tidy. Walk inside (we can run in the playground). Try our best, be happy and have fun!
Our e-safety rules are:
Use the Internet with an adult in the room.
Ask an adult for help if you are unsure.
Tell an adult if you see something you don’t like and click on the dolphin.
Remember not everything on the internet is true – ask someone who knows.
Understand who we might be sharing information with online and ask for help if unsure.
Our extra rule for the computers is:
Always ask before closing or changing someone’s work.
