Welcome to Willow's Class Page

Year 4 consists of 3 classes: 4AM (Mr Maniar's Class), 4AS (Ms Siddiq's Class) and 4KT/RR (Ms Teladia and Mrs Rawsthorn's Class). On our class page you will find information about our fabulous learning taking place in the term ahead as well as weekly updates. There are links to websites and platforms to support your children with their learning at home as well as a gallery of photographs to showcase our curriculum in action.
