Week beginning 6th July 2026

Arts Week has been a great success! The children have been making origami hearts which will all be collated into one giant final picture of 'The Good Samaritan' made by Raffi's mum. They have also created felt tea cups and written lovely friendship messages too. These can be viewed in the art exhibition in the church after school today (Friday). Next Thursday, Bourne will be doing there reschudeled class worship.

Worship theme of the week:

The fruits of the spirit

English: The children will be continuing their journey with 'The Wave' story. They will be creating their own stories based on their plans made previously.

Maths: Next week, the children will be moving onto shape, space and mesasure. The children will be understanding half and quarters of shapes, objects and quantities. 

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
