Exploring London!

Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 5:11am

What a busy start to the final half term in Year 1!

Our last topic question is called 'What is in the United Kingdom?' To begin this topic we started to think about our new text that we will be using for our reading and writing sessions for the next few weeks. The story is called Katie in London who visits lots of the famous landmarks around the city on top of one of the lions in Trafalgar Square. After reading the story and learning the names of the landmarks Katie visited, we started to explore them by doing activities like:

*creating some of the landmarks using construction and small world toys.

*reading some non-fiction books about London in the reading area.

*finding the landmark names on a wordsearch.

*cutting and sticking the landmarks on a map of London.

*using our drawing skills to draw some of the landmarks thinking about the use of lines and shapes. 

Our writing outcome for this story will be writing a recount of the places that Katie went to visit in London.
