In Geography, Rabbits have learnt what it is like to live in a city. We have explored our local environment and have distinguished between physical and human features of Lichfield and Birmingham.

Rabbits have been exploring numbers between 11-20. They have learnt skills such as 'making ten' and counting on to find the total amount. They have also used counters and tens frames to represent their '-teen' number.
