Year 1 kick started their Bright Lights, Big City topic with a Miles away Monday to London. The children came to school dressed in the colours of the United Kingdom red, white and blue. We started the day by thinking about features of a settlement by looking at maps of London. Next the children looked more closely at the features, in particular landmarks. They then tested their sticky knowledge and matched images of landmarks to their names, also describing their purposes. Finally, as part of our Ozzie 80 we put what we had learnt today into practise and wrote postcards telling our St Oswald’s friends all about what we had seen and discovered.
