Weekly Update 27th June
Posted: Jun 26, 2025 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Lime Tree Class Blog
A cooler week has come to an end!
The highlight of the week was definitely a visit from a hedgehog charity on Thursday morning. The children learnt all about hedgehogs and even got to meet a baby hedgehog. See Facebook for photos of the experience!
In maths the children have enjoyed applying their arithmetic to solve some more abstract challenges. We have also continued learning about mass and have used the scales to measure the mass of lots of objects.
In English the children have written some wonderful shape poems about different ocean animals. They enjoyed working with a partner to create a word bank of ideas and have also worked hard to write their shape poems in neat.
Just a reminder that the trips to Harlow Carr are next week. Year 2 are going on Wednesday and Year 1 are going on Friday. All the children are very much looking forward to it.
Some general reminders are below:
- Children need to wear their school uniform but can wear trainers as they may be more comfortable for walking in.
- All children need to bring a lightweight waterproof coat just in case it rains. This is an outdoor visit. We know the weather can be very changeable. The forecast is sunshine and rain so some pre-applied sunscreen and a hat to wear would be a good idea too.
- Packed lunch – please do not send your child with fizzy drinks or any glass containers. We also ask that you avoid nut products as we do have children with allergies. It is nice to have some treats in a packed lunch for a trip but please do not send too many chocolatey or sweet treats.
- Children will need their water bottles (containing just water please).
- The coach will be leaving at 9.00 am so please make sure that your child arrives to school on time. We will open the doors a little earlier to give them all time to go to the toilet before we leave.
- We will be back at school for the usual pick-up time.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
