Learning Lens - 3rd July 2026

Hello!

We have started writing a creative story about when Year 1 forgot the rules! We have had so much fun thinking of ideas and will carry on with them next week. 

In Maths, we have been looking at money this week. We have looked at coins and notes and talked about how and why we used them. A key word we have focused on is the value of money and what it means.

In Science, we have learnt about the parts of plants and what they are as well as different types of trees. We have learnt they have roots, stem, leaves and flowers. We continued our topic by going on a leaf hunt in the school grounds and finding out about decidious and evergreen trees- can you remember what they mean?

In PE, we have been developing our team work skills through sports day practice. We currently have PE on a Wednesday and Friday.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Watkins

Reminders:

- Reading books will be changed as soon as possible after a child has read the book. Please use your child’s planner to record their home reading. Just the title and the pages read is fine. If it is not signed, then we will assume you need that book for a bit longer. If your child has read a book already or finds any book ‘easy’ then this is GREAT! Repetitive reading will support children’s comprehension and impact their fluency and spelling.

- PE is on a Thursday. The timetable may change so please make sure your children have a full labelled PE kit in school every day. PE kits to be in a separate bag from their school bag. 

- Numbots NUMBOTS 

- All uniform is to be labelled.

- A water bottle and a healthy afternoon snack in school every day. 

- If the children would like to bring in something to share with the class for show and tell then only 1 share a week that is linked to the Home Learning below or personal achievements. 

 Home Learning
