Eagle Owls all thoroughly enjoyed World Book Day and created a book cover of one of their favourite books. We hope that you will agree they have done an excellent job!
They have also continued with their watercolours based on the book ‘Animalium’. Here
is a sample of some of their work.
The whole school had a visit from The Yorkshire Building Society on Friday to help them think about managing money (RHE). In Eagle Owls the pupils really enjoyed planning their parties and all the exciting things that they could include. However they then had to add up the costs and multiply for the numbers invited. Following that they had some long division to do so that they could see how much they would need to charge per ticket in order to cover costs. It was really interesting and they had lots of fun!
We also had a team of very able mathematicians visit Norwich Cathedral to represent the school in a maths quiz. They were working in pairs and had a great time – well done!
Eagle Owls have tried to complete their geography topic of the world’s Biomes. Many have managed to do so, even with the disruptions of the last two weeks. Well done. They have done their own research and then collaborated with a partner to share the information with each other and the produce their pages in their own way.
Eagle Owls continue to look into ways of self help and this week were colouring (thanks to Twinkl) and listening to mindful music. It was very relaxing! What lovely quotes for them to think about as well.
They continue to impress with their water colour skills
and are working on their collaborative work on the world’s Biomes.
Eagle Owls have had a visit from Mr Kagimu, a very talented parent artist, who shared with them examples of his work inspiring them to create detailed work of their own for their book called Animalium. We are sure you will agree we already have many budding artists emerging!
Eagle Owls have also been researching Indonesia as their class reader Running Wild is set there. This ties in well with our geography topic where pupils are researching the world’s Biomes and the rainforest is an essential one!
In Science this week Eagle Owls used close observation skills whilst looking at real fossils from the Teacher Science Network project boxes with magnifying glasses.
They also explored ways to ease anxiety and made Guatemalan Worry Dolls – according to legend, Guatemalan children tell their worries to the Worry Dolls, placing them under their pillow when they go to bed at night. The dolls take the worries from the children so they can sleep easy. We made them from pipe cleaners and decorated them with woollen clothes!
Eagle Owls have completed their history topic on changes that happened in the Twentieth Century. They worked in mixed age group pairs to compile a set of slides (Google Drive) that have a range of features and animations. Some had links to videos and musical clips. We have all enjoyed sharing these projects and the children enjoyed doing their research and using the technology. Well done Eagle Owls. Here are a few of their slides…
Eagle Owls wish you all a Merry Christmas! They have been busy making and decorating Christmas cakes, light up Christmas cards and adding to their Sketchbooks.
Don’t forget to check out the Science behind these light up cards by finding this tab: Science/STEM – Circuits with Eagle Owls 2021
Eagle Owls have been using their knowledge of circuits to create light-up Christmas cards in DT.
