Wed 22/4
Good morning Year 1! 
I hope you all had a fabulous day yesterday and managed to complete some super work with your grown-ups. The updates I have received from you all so far have gone in a super picture gallery so look out for your pictures there! I have loved the pictures of you being plant detectives and your super drawings of Flowers inspired by Andy Warhol.
Yesterday when completing my Joe Wicks work out, I was joined by Lola and George. They enjoyed the workout and were very tired afterwards. Here is a picture of them enjoying it

Maths: Today in your white Maths packs can you complete the page counting in 10's with kites on. You need to fill in the missing number counting in 10s on the kite string. Be careful and look closely at the numbers, are they going up in 10s or going down 10s?
