Y1 Friday 19th May 2023– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Another super week in Year 1 !
In English we are continuing to use the book ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ to inspire our work. We have sequenced the story, highlighted features of the text and completed a plan for our own ‘portal narrative’ story.
In Maths we have made equal groups by grouping and sharing
In Geography we have identified human and physical features in our school grounds.
In Science we have found and named trees based on their leaves, as well as naming the different parts trees have.
In History we have finished our Moon Landing fact file.

√ Making equal groups by grouping and sharing counters.

Family discussion questions:
- What trees can you see in your garden or on a walk?
- Can you correct my spellings? ‘lighk’, ‘sed’ and ‘peeple’

Looking forward:
Next week we will write our portal narrative story.
