On Friday Eagle Owls participated in the Cross Country Event held by our School Sport Partnership at Earlham Park every year. We had the most ever this year – it seems to draw more and more pupils in, which is fabulous! Thank you to those parents who were able to come and support and to Mrs House and Mrs Graves who spent the day at the event and came back very much in need of a cuppa and a sit down! Congratulations to all who took part.
Eagle Owls completed their Hockey as part of Invasion Games in PE. They have all done really well and it got very competitive in the hall!
Eagle Owls had a lot of fun on Friday with their living history day being Anglo Saxons. They cooked using Anglo Saxon recipes and tasted ‘purple’ carrots ; had a go at writing using RUNES – the alphabet used before we took on the Roman one and reduced our letters to 26; they created a 3D round house and learnt about Wattle and Daub. In the afternoon they were able to have a go at weaving to create a wall that is the wattle, and they used clay to mix with hay and other fibre to make the daub. We finished with a feast where the children tasted the food that they had made in the morning. The outfits that the children made were excellent and they enjoyed having a little use of the weapons in the mound!

Eagle Owls have been continuing to develop their skills of bread making. It was the turn of pizza bases this week and the children worked in groups to decide on toppings. They turned out really well!
Eagle Owls enjoyed a tennis taster session with Tom on Wednesday, along with the rest of the school. They certainly had a good time!
They are learning about Hockey in their PE lessons at the moment and are enjoying playing this invasion game
Eagle Owls have been doing food technology and making different types of bread. They work independently and follow the recipes, working cooperatively in mixed age groups.
Eagle Owls have jumped straight in with lots of different topics. They are already enjoying cooking and baking different types of bread as well as investigating the mystical qualities of Dragons! They use Dragonology and start to develop a Glossary of technical words.
Eagle Owls have been busy designing T-Shirts that depict a Norfolk coastal scene, they had a white t-shirt to start with and then researched what they would like the end product to look like – including sea creatures, flora and fauna. The end products are lovely – and they get to take them home! Well done.
We held a very successful French Cafe in the hall, where children were serving each other and ordering in French, alongside those parents who were able to join us. There were French activities to do in classroom – using pointillism to create an Eiffel Tower as well as the older children looking at Asterix the cartoon character. It was a lovey morning – thank you to Mrs Hamilton for arranging and to Eagle and Barn for being so good at the language.
