WB: 17.11.25
Year 1:
This week we finished our story Monkey Puzzle and wrapped up our unit on lists, labels and captions. The children loved exploring the story and discovering how descriptive words can make their writing even more exciting. They are already looking forward to beginning their next English focus next week!
In maths, we began learning all about 3D shapes! The children learned six amazing new shape names — cylinder, cone, sphere, pyramid, cube and cuboid — and explored what each one looks like. We had great fun sorting the shapes in different ways, such as by colour and by type. Take a look at our photos to see the fantastic results of our sorting activities!
Our science learning took us outdoors as we talked all about sunrise and sunset, with a particular focus on how these occur during the autumn term. We were very lucky to capture a stunning sunrise right here on Manea’s playground, snapped perfectly by Miss Hills.
On Friday, we enjoyed our very own Woodland Day! The children took part in a range of exciting activities and even took a magical trip down to the woods. We pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood on our way to visit Grandma — a wonderful moment of imagination and storytelling brought to life.
Well done, Year 1, for such a fantastic and hardworking week!
