OLC Year 1

The Year 1 team would like to say…

Rosanna has represented our academy brilliantly at her dance school as she gets pupil of the year! She aims high and pushes herself and she is brave trying new things. Finally, she took great pride, she danced beautifully on stage! 3 of our 4 golden rules, what a star you are!🌟

Last week we had our animation day. We created animations on our iPads of a bird flying into the sky and a boat moving across the sea! 🕊️⛵️☀️

Wow, look at these amazing trees Y1 have been making out of natural resources. We have been learning to name the parts of a tree #Tree #PartsOfATree #Science

Day two of sports week meant Cricket with Gloucestershire Cricket Club 🏏 We really enjoyed our session and got to show off our overarm throwing we had been practicing in PE! 🤾‍♀️🤾‍♂️

Otters and Foxes kicked off our sports week with a fun-filled session with coaches Ollie and Sam from @BSFound We really enjoyed it, thank you! 🏃‍♂️🤾‍♀️

Today Miss Pennell had a sword fight with our pirate guest... good thing she won! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚔️

We are all really enjoying a pirate show this morning. Arghhhh

We had fun creating and labelling parts of a plant today 🌼

@OlcTwo Wow, this looks interesting Y2 👍🏼

Year 2 have had a great afternoon in Art. We’ve been exploring tone by gradually adding white or black to a colour. Can you tell which one makes the colour darker and which makes it lighter?

We hope you’re having a great Sunday. Trigger enjoyed his afternoon with his sister, Maisie. What have you been doing today? 🤔

@Olc_one Alfie went looking for otters at slimbridge ❤️

@bambi56742 That sounds exciting. Be sure to tell us about it tomorrow Alfie!

What a lovely weekend it has been. What have you done this weekend year 1? 🤔☀️ Miss Pennell has been keeping a look out for slugs on her flowers!

Miss Pennell’s pup, Trigger, is getting ready for our pirate topic as well. He is on pirate watch for you Y1 🏴‍☠️

60 plant pots washed and ready to do some planting for science day! Thank you very much Beau’s Bouquet’s in Shirehampton for providing them. We will be sure to plant you a sunflower and bring it to you when it’s ready! 🌻

Monday marks the beginning of Ramadan. If you’re looking for activities to support your teaching, our kindness calendar for the month of #Ramadan is a lovely way to get your class thinking about some important morals and values. 👉 twinkl.co.uk/l/1chiwp #EduTwitter #RERocks

With great respect and thanks for the life of Prince Philip - for his commitment to public service - especially to young people & the environment. “For I am sure that neither death nor life, neither the present nor the future...will be able to separate us from the love of God.”

We are soooo excited for our next enquiry question, ‘who rules the sea?’ Who is ready for our stimulus day!? We can’t wait! Arrrgh me hearty 🏴‍☠️ #ShiverMyTimbers

📚✨Yesterday’s World Book Day book ‘Grandads Secret Giant‘ inspired us to work together to create our very own giant. Team work makes the dream work! ✨📚
