Y1 Friday 28th June 2024– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
What a brilliant trip we had on Tuesday! We all loved exploring Blue Planet Aquarium especially the diver’s presentation and the shark tunnel. The class were wonderfully behaved!
In English, we planned and written our own return 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 to support our fact file writing.
We looked at what materials different types of recycling is made from and then explored the labels to see if it can be recycled fully, some of it or not at all.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Writing our own return story.
√ Looking at and learning about sea animals at the Blue Planet Aquarium.
√ Finding one more and one less than a given number.
√ Counting on a number line
√ Found 1 more and 1 less.
√ Reading and writing facts about the characteristics of sea shore animals.
√ Getting ready for Sports Day in PE.

√ Looking at the details on recycling to see if it can be recycled.
√ Sorting recycling into groups based on their materials.
Family discussion questions:
- What human and physical features did you see on our village walk?
- How many tens does 67 have? How many ones? What is the difference between 36 and 63?
- What happened in your return story?
Looking forward:
In Maths, we will consolidate our learning related to Place Value and begin our topic on money looking at coins and making amounts.
In Geography, we will be exploring our village to identify human and physical features before using this information to draw a journey line. We will be looking at photos of our twin school Elizabethfontein and comparing their school to ours.
