Y1 Friday 28th April 2023– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
In English we have written letters to Hermelin.
In Maths we have been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
In Science we have identified and named common garden plants and flowers.
In Geography we have discussed where we live and what we can see in our local area from our house.
In History we have written facts about Neil Armstrong.

√ Planning a letter to Hermelin.

√ Writing a letter to Hermelin.
√ Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Family discussion questions:
- What plants have you got in your garden?
- If you have 3 groups of 2 counters how many do you have? 3 groups of 10? 3 groups of 5?
- What is the purpose of a letter?
Looking forward:
In English we will use the book ‘Where the Wild things are’ to inspire our portal narrative writing unit.
In Maths we will be recognising and adding equal groups through repeated addition and making arrays to show ‘lots of’.
In Science we will dissecting parts of a flower to help us when naming their parts and in Geography we will be making aerial maps of our classroom using Lego.
