In maths, this week, the children have been focusing on money learning objectives and have shown what whizzes they are at coin recognition, from 1p to £2, as well as some notes – any opportunities to handle money at home this weekend will support and embed their learning in class. The Year 1 shop was declared open; helping the children to identify the correct coins to use in a shopping transaction and how to give the correct change. The children were thrilled to be given some toy money and were then allowed to choose a couple of things to purchase, what a treat!
But, of course, the highlight of our week was taking part in the Year 1 Summer Super Sports Gala, hosted by Prep and led by all the fabulous sports staff. The children were treated to an exciting carousel of sporting activities – cricket, rugby, golf, athletics to name but a few – and competed with Year 1 children from Richmond Borough schools. We were all impressed with the sportsmanship displayed by our plucky Year 1 athletes!
Have a super weekend!
