  • We will remember them!

    Published 28/11/23, by Nichola Bowen

    Recently, Olive Class went for a walk around the local community of Lenton. Lenton is an area full of history and interest. One of the things that caught the children's attention was the war memorial and Albert Ball Alms houses. The children looked at poppies and stones laid by people and when we returned to school, we created our own poppies, using a fixing and fastening method. If you ask the children, they may be able to tell you why poppies are different colours for Remembrance day, and who was Albert Ball?

  • Important visitors!

    Published 30/10/23, by Nichola Bowen

    Part of our Year 1 curriculum is learning about people that help us and raising the children's awareness of people such as NHS workers, emergency services and especially the Police. We are lucky to be visited by our named community Police officer, Lucy. This is the second time she has visited Dunkirk and some of the children in Olive Class remembered her name and aspects of her job. Today we were able to have some special time with her and her colleague, asking questions and trying on different Police hats!

  • Investigative Science

    Published 04/10/23, by Nichola Bowen

    During the first part of the autumn term, Olive class have been learning all about how amazing our bodies are. How they work, move and what our 5 senses help us to do. We have used these senses to investigate things, such as discovering smelly plants in the school garden and what happens to our taste buds when we eat lemons!

  • RE learning

    Published 23/03/23, by Admin

    During our recent work on Myself and Caring for others from the Nottingham RE Syllabus, pupils have been building on their sense of individuality learnt in reception. They have been thinking about how they can care for others within the community by taking inspiration from religious stories. Pupils have been understanding; the significance of Shrove Tuesday and learning about how Jesus helped and cared for the sick; Mother's Day and how this relates to Lent; fasting during Lent and Ramadan and why people fast; the significance of Ramadan and how Muslims show care to their wider community; and the significance of Easter and why Christians celebrate Easter.

  • Making Time Machines!

    Published 15/03/23, by Nichola Bowen

    Making a Time Machine takes time itself! Time to think about what it will look like. Time to draw that plan and label the important features. Then time to investigate the best shape to use for a possible dial. Learning about 2D and 3D and how to create a 3D machine from 2D net. Wow, this was a complex process with oodles of learning taking place, involving DT, art and problem-solving skills.

  • How can we keep Teddy dry?

    Published 15/03/23, by Nichola Bowen

    Science is great fun in Year 1! This lesson was all about the exploration of different materials to investigate their waterproof qualities and absorbency. What would happen if Teddy found himself out in a shower? What material could we use to make him a coat, that would keep him dry? We made our predictions and then got to work, testing and investigating and then recorded our results.

  • Tennis stars!

    Published 25/01/23, by Nichola Bowen

    In September a visiting coach from the Nottingham Tennis centre came to teach us some specific tennis skills. Just look at the size of the tennis rachet he brought with him! It was such great fun and it got our hearts pumping, all at the same time.

  • Green Fingers!

    Published 28/05/21, by Catherine Hopper

    In Olive Class the children have been busy getting their fingers dirty and planting a variety of things for our Year 1 allotment. They have grown sunflowers from seed to see the change from beginning to end and have planted some seedlings, including runner beans, tomatoes, strawberries and a variety of herbs. We've been learning all about the different features of a plant and talking about what they need to help them grow and how we can care for them. We are looking forward to seeing our plants grow!

  • Christmas Week

    Published 14/12/20, by Kate Butler

    We have done lots of fun things to get ready for our Christmas performance.

    We made stars and animals to hang in and around the stable.

     

     

    We made Christmas tree and star hats to wear during our singing performance and we were really lucky as Mr Mark made us a stable and a manger. Thank you Mr Mark! 

     

    We really liked learning the Christmas Story and making peg dolls to help us retell the story. We put these in our Christmas performance alongside small clips of each of us retelling the Christmas Story.
