Hi F1 fans! If you’re part of F1 Club at school, you will already have seen the 1999 Australian Grand Prix but it’s one of the few full races that F1 have allowed on YouTube so it’s the one I’m focussing on today. First task: make flapjacks if you can and are allowed! The recipe is here: FLAPJACKS!!! You can also print out wordsearches or colouring pages to do while you watch if you have access to a printer: https://misscaldwellsawesomeclubsorg.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/colouring-pages/

Next task: watch the race. Pay close attention- there are questions to answer! Whoever gets the highest score gets 5 kudos points 🙂
