As part of their work about the Victorians, the Barn Owls looked at the art work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and William Morris. They then had a go at drawing their own designs inspired by both of the artists – they were really pleased with their results.
Beautiful week, lots of activities going on around and out of school!
On Thursday last week (20th), the Barn Owls visited Gressenhall to take part in a ‘Victorian Whodunnit!’ They had a fabulous day learning about Victorian workhouses and they fully immersed themselves in helping Lady Hermione solve the murder of Annie Rudd. Thank you to all parents for providing them with such great costumes.
Finally some sunny, summer days. Sports Day went ahead, with a lovely day welcoming parents and families to join their children for a picnic. Thank you to all those who were able to come along.
In preparation for their visit to Gressenhall next week, the Barn Owls have started learning about The Victorians. They have found out lots of facts about Queen Victoria.
This week the Barn Owls started their music lessons with Karl that are focusing on Samba music. This week they learnt how to keep a Samba beat using percussion instruments.
On Wednesday, Year 2 and Year 3 enjoyed a morning at Eaton Park taking part in a Tennis Festival organised through the SSP. They had a fun morning learning a variety of skills that are important for playing tennis.

As part of their work about the Tudors, the Barn Owls have learnt about clothes and houses. They enjoyed designing outfits for rich and poor people and making model houses.
It’s been SATS week for our Year 6 and we’ve had Governors and Moderators in to check on our practice – pleased to say they were happy with what they saw. It’s also May Fair weekend- have a lovely time if you are able to make it. Thank you for all the hard work from the Friends, it’s an amazing event and raises fabulous money for our school.
Barn Owls wrote their own ‘Magic Box’ poems. Their finished poems have made a magical display!
On Wednesday, the Barn Owls visited Strangers’ Hall to enhance their learning about the Tudors. They had a great day learning about the ‘Strangers’ that came to Norwich in the sixteenth century. They took part in lots of activities; weaving, looking at documents, writing with a quill and ink, trying on Tudor hats, exploring artefacts in the Great Hall, and discovering what it was like for a refugee coming to Norwich.
On Wednesday the school had a Day of Calm. Barn practiced different breathing exercises and learned about Tai Chi movements.
The Barn Owls have finished their Aboriginal Dot Art paintings and they are all very proud of them. Their designs include native Australian animals and Dreamtime journeys through the Australian outback.
