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.
Eagle Owls have been busy cooking again, this time making Christmas Cakes. We hope you enjoy the photos of our cakes and our sketchbook pages recording our work.
Welcome to the Elf, who is rarely on the shelf…. Pupils have to work out where Elf has taken off to – by solving a riddle!
Can you spot where the cheeky elf is?
He can be a very naughty elf….
This week Eagle Owls have their most challenging music project ever – they are hoping to learn how to play along to a song from the Christmas play! They will need to practice lots, but we are pretty impressed with their efforts after only one day! Well done.
