Year 1 at Lesnes Abbey

 Children had a great time observing garden and wild plants. They found lots of direction words in the ruins of the old Abbey.

Summer Term in Year 1

Children were introduced to new topics today. In Geography, children will be learning about weather in the UK and how weather in far away places can be different. They enjoyed making weather vanes ti identify the direction of the wind

In PE children will be learning yoga and today they had a taster, holding poses inspired by plants.

In Science, children planted seeds so they can record how they grow over the term.

 

Pilot Study for children 6 to 6 years and 11 months with Kings College Hospital

 Metaphors help young children to negotiate their understanding of all areas of curriculum, from maths to science.

We are working with King’s College London to determine how children develop the ability to use novel metaphors to negotiate their understanding of difficult concepts.

We are looking for children aged 6 years to 6 years and 11 months with English as their first and main language to take part in one 25-minute session during school hours.

If you are happy for your child to take part in the study, please access THIS LINK for more information about the study and to sign the consent form.

If you would like any more information about the study, please email dorota.gaskins@kcl.ac.uk and you can also arrange a zoom call to discuss any concerns.

Participation is completely voluntary and not participating will not affect your child in any way.
