Welcome Back! We hope that you all had a lovely Easter break and are ready for the summer term!
In French Barn Owls are studying animals and made posters of the vocabulary.
As an end of topic project, the Barn Owls had an Easter challenge to make their own Norwich Snapdragons with a moving, snapping mouth. So many children took part and the results were fabulous!

Barn Owls have completed their ‘Hodgeheg’ inspired quest stories and have presented them as books.

This week the Barn Owls have been using the TSN Magnets Kit to do lots of scientific investigating. They discovered which materials are magnetic and they conducted an experiment to find the strongest magnet.
They particularly enjoyed Friday afternoon when they made their own magnetic mazes.

Can you believe we are halfway through the year already! We ended this half term with a lovely Day of Calm run by our School Sports Partnership, Suzy. She taught different techniques that will help our pupils with wellbeing and good mental health. They ranged from free drawing to different musical tracks, breathing techniques, Tai Chi and slow careful movements to focus the mind away from worries, listening very carefully to a sound until it can’t be heard any longer and laying still with concentration on our surroundings and own breathing. We value skills for life and hope that our pupils can take something away from their session today, that may help them to find a calm inner peace and to support in times of anxiety.
