Y1 Friday 27th June 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
What a brilliant trip we had on Tuesday! We all loved exploring Peak Wildlife Park especially seeing the friendly wallabies. The class were wonderfully behaved!
In English, we have written speech in speech bubbles from the perspective of characters and identified features of our story based on ‘The Secret of Black Rock’.
In Maths, we have used a number line to count, found 1 more and 1 less and compared numbers.
In Science, we have read facts about sea animals and made notes to support our fact file writing.
In Art and D&T, we used our designs to print African t-shirt designs.
In Geography we learnt about Elizabethfontein school and compared their school to ours.

Family discussion questions:
