Y1 Friday 4th July 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
In English, we written our own return story based on ‘The Secret of Black Rock’.
In Maths, we have consolidated our place value topic. We have moved onto our money topic looking at coins and making amounts.
In Science, we have used the facts we have read about sea animals and used them to support our fact file writing. We also sorted objects based on their material and looked at how to recycle them.
In Art, we have finished our African print inspired printing and continued to practice weaving with ribbons on weaving.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Writing our own return story.
√ Finding one more and one less than a given number.
√ Recognising coins and notes.

√ Reading and writing facts about the characteristics of sea shore animals.
√ Taking part in relay races in PE.
√ Sorting objects based on their materials and checking if they can be recycled.
√ Learning about mosques RE.
√ Using Lego to make an aerial view map of our school.
Family discussion questions:
- What interesting facts did you learn about your chosen sea animal?
- What coins could you use to make 30p? How many different ways can you do this?
- What happened in your return story?
Looking forward:
In English, we will be editing sentences to include capital letters, full stops and including correct sounds to spell words correctly.
In Maths, we will be looking at time- order of events, days of the week and time to the hour
In Science, we will be consolidating our learning by completing a quiz.
In D&T and Art, we will be using our weaving skills to help us make a weaved tiger inspired by ‘Surprised tiger’ by the artist Henri Rousseau.
