January continues with winter warming activities going on inside!!
The Barn Owls have just started their new topic – Norwich Through The Ages. They have been creating topic pages, describing where Norwich is and finding some places of interest that they may like to visit.
Welcome back- Happy New Year to all.
This week the Barn Owls have been reflecting on 2024 and thinking ahead to 2025. They have created medals to show their successes from last year and they have also created resolutions based on things that they would like to achieve this year. They made balloons so that they could ‘fly high’ and reach their targets.
Well what a busy week we’ve had! 4 performances of The Fleece Force (with a dress rehearsal), and a Carol concert at All Saints Church.
All Saints Church, Little Melton for our annual Carol concert with the houses split into 2 so we could all fit!
Can you believe there’s only 2 weeks left! Our 3 performances are next week, hopefully you’ve got your tickets! 🎅🏼We also visit Little Melton Church on Thursday (Garnet and Emerald) and Friday (Citrine and Topaz) – see you there 🎅🏼
After their Neolithic day last week, the Barn Owls made persuasive posters to encourage others to visit Gressenhall.

This week Christmas Play rehearsals have been in full swing!
An excellent week for learning outside the classroom – we had Barn Owls visit Gressenhall and a special Viking visitor for Eagle Owls. We also enjoyed a whole school art afternoon making Christmas wreaths for Little Melton Church.
On Wednesday, the Barn Owls enjoyed a Neolithic Day hosted by the staff at Gressenhall Museum. Due to the inclement weather, they took part in a range of indoor activities learning about various aspects of life in the Stone Age. They learnt about farming, hunting and gathering and about the uses of animals.
Well winter certainly hit us this week! What a chill was in the air – but we were warm and cosy in school, and working hard.
The Barn Owls read the book ‘How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth’ by Michelle Robinson, but they didn’t think that the instructions in the book were very clear or successful. Therefore, they have written their own!
Plans are already underway for our Christmas production – tickets available next week 🎅🏼👏🏻👏🏻 We ended this week with a non uniform day for Children in Need 🧸
As part of Anti-bullying week the Barn Owls have been thinking about the importance of friendship. They created the ingredients that are needed for ‘Friendship Soup’ and then they made it.
As part of their Stone Age topic, the Barn Owls have been experimenting with cave drawings. They had fun using their tables as caves and then drawing inside of them. They also experimented using charcoal using the playground as a rough surface.
In English the Barn Owls have been learning about the features of instructional texts to link to the ‘How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth’. This week they followed written instructions, without any adult help, to make a model mammoth. They were all really pleased with their results.
Barn Owls went to a Y4 – Y6 Cross Country Event. Well done to everyone who participated 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We have 4 finalists this year 🏃♂️🏃🏻♀️🏃♂️🏃🏻♀️
Well it’s been a long half term, but we made it! Lots of autumnal activities going on this week, including pumpkins of course! Have a great half term break 🎃
In RE the Barn Owls made lamps to celebrate Hindu festivals of light.
This week the Barn Owls learnt about muscles and they made a model to show how muscles work.
