The Pesky Rat is looking for a new home and a kind owner. Year 1 loved describing the “Pesky Rat” character and getting to know the different settings in the book. They had great fun describing the disgusting bin the poor rat lives in. The children created adverts for a new home for the rat using their knowledge of the types of homes we find in Britain. Mansions and castles were a popular choice for the rat! In maths, we have been working on place value and adding and taking away 10s to 2- and 3-digit numbers. Our topic lesson involved learning to recognise different houses found in the UK and a sunny walk around site to explore our local area and see what different houses we could spot.
