Barn Owls

As part of their Norwich topic, the Barn Owls have been looking at artwork of Norwich Market. They have been trying out their own ideas in their sketchbooks ready for creating their own art work.

We continue with many different themes across the school: a Rainforest topic, Norwich City, Forces and Snowy Owls are experimenting with water colours in art.
As part of their work on Norwich, the Barn Owls are making tourist guides. This week they have worked hard to complete their front covers.

Welcome back! New half term with lots of fun activities around school. An exciting learning outside the classroom activity for Eagle Owls who came back to school for a star gazing evening and some hot chocolate ☕️
In English, the Barn Owls have written their own quest stories inspired by Dick King Smith’s story ‘The Hodgeheg’. The finished stories are on display in the classroom and available to read.

We are now exactly halfway through our school year. Wishing you all a welcome Half Term break, hoping the weather behaves 🤣

This week the Barn Owls worked with their partners to research facts about a Norwich tourist attraction. They used their research to create a fact-file and a careful drawing to share with the rest of the class.

Well, with only 1 week left to go until a half term break, here are some of the things we’ve been up to around the school.
This half term the Barn Owls have been doing gymnastics in their PE lessons with Mrs House. They have been using the equipment and the floor to create symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.

The Barn Owls had fun in science this week making Magnet Maze Games. They had even more fun playing them!

We enjoyed Chinese New Year treats in Owlets; penguins in Snowy Owls; making up creatures in Barn Owls and some swimming in Eagle Owls.
The Barn Owls are currently reading Dick King Smith’s ‘The Hodgeheg’. They had fun playing with compound words and then making new versions of animals. They also described them using compound sentences with coordinating conjunctions.

In science last week the Barn Owls explored magnets. This week they found out how they actually work and recorded this in their books.

Some of the topics across school this half term include: Antarctica, Magnets, Norwich, Space, The Maya and Music Producers!
In science this week, the Barn Owls enjoyed exploring what they could do with magnets. In their next lesson they will be finding out the science behind their exploring.
