Week beginning 22nd June 2026

Wow! Sports Week has been amazing! The children have embraced so many new challenges this week and we are so proud of them all. From circus skills to climbing walls, archery to golf, the children have made some wonderful memories. Thank you all for your support at Sports Day – the children did amazingly well and everyone had a super day!

This week, we will be returning to timetable and we have lots of exciting learning planned.

Worship theme of the week:

Relationship with the world

English: The children will continue their unit on, 'Wave' by Suzy Lee. They will be writing their own version of the story.

Maths: We will be continuing to look at equal grouping and sharing.

Phonics: The children will be learning the new sound, /are/ saying 'air' as in 'share' and 'care'.

Geography: We will look at the physical features of our local area while plotting our route to the beach in preparation for our trip next week.

Art: We will look again at our key artist Hokusai's work and learn more about printing techniques. 

Home Learning:

My Maths, Numbots and Twinkl Phonics App log ins are stuck into the front of your child's Reading Record.  Please speak to your child's teacher if you need any support with any of these platforms.

Additional help with reading/phonics:

If you are wondering how you can provide general support for your child at home, our advice is to hear them read as often as possible. Please do not worry if your child brings home the same book from time to time- this is to gain confidence and fluency before moving onto different sounds in other books.

We also have an excellent link to some high quality texts that you may want to consider when choosing children’s books to read or buy!

Additional Maths:

By the end of Year 1, children are expected to:

• count forwards and backwards in ones to 100
• be able to count in 2s, 5s and 10s
• find one more and one less than a given number up to 100
• recognise the value of all coins
• know number bonds (numbers that add together) to total 10 and 20.

Messages:

It is really important to put children’s names in all their clothes, on packed lunch boxes, water bottles, coats etc- otherwise they do not go home with the correct child. We already have some unclaimed and unnamed items from this week. If you could all check that all items are named, we would really appreciate it. 

Please could water bottles be placed into a plastic bag in their school bag to protect school reading books. All water bottles must only contain water and NOT squash please. 

Please note, our fruit at school is delivered on a Monday, but sometimes later in the day. Please could you provide your child with a snack on a Monday to avoid them getting hungry if our fruit has not been delivered. 

Key Information and Dates:

Please wear PE kits on a Thursday.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr Parsons and Mrs Stoodley
