Year 1: Literacy and Maths

October 20, 2022
Over the last two weeks, Year 1 have been reading Supertato in Literacy. 

This week, Year 1 had an overnight visit from the... Evil Pea! Evil Pea had caused havoc in the classrooms and trapped a range of vegetables. The children were so alarmed, they wasted no time and wrote to the rest of the school, warning them of the Evil Pea's mischievous antics! They also designed their own Supertato to save the day as well as considered the different ways to rescue the vegetables. 

Today, the children found out that Evil Pea had taken Supertato and the only way to free him was to solve a range of subtraction padlocks. The children quickly set to work in using their number line to solve the calculations and free Supertato.

The children worked extremely hard and have now earnt a well deserved week off!
