Y1 Friday 1st July 2022– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
What a lovely village walk we had on Tuesday!
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 Geography, we identified human and physical features on our village walk and used this information to make a journey line. We sent a letter to our Twin School Elizabethfontein and we have received phots from them which helped us compare our school with theirs.
In Science, we have read facts about sea animals to support our fact file writing next week.

Family discussion questions:
- What human and physical features did you see on our village walk?
- 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 performing poetry from other cultures and we will have a group each day from Reception coming to work with us as part of transition.
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 using the facts we have read to write a fact file about sea shore animals.
In D&T and Art, we will be printing African inspired patterns and learning how to weave before making a weaved fish.
