Owlets

We are now exactly halfway through our school year. Wishing you all a welcome Half Term break, hoping the weather behaves 🤣
This week we had a Planetarium in school (a giant wind-inflated dome to project star constellations onto the ceiling). We had to crawl through a tunnel to get inside. It was very dark, but we saw some stars and planets 🪐 🌎 Mrs Lawrence read a story to us by torchlight! 🔦

For Valentine’s Day, Owlets made cards and decorated a wooden heart 💖🥰

Well, with only 1 week left to go until a half term break, here are some of the things we’ve been up to around the school.
In maths Owlets have been learning about capacity.

To finish off our Antarctica topic, Owlets made Penguins 🐧 out of toilet rolls!

We enjoyed Chinese New Year treats in Owlets; penguins in Snowy Owls; making up creatures in Barn Owls and some swimming in Eagle Owls.
Owlets learnt all about Chinese New Year and made their own lanterns.

Owlets were able to taste noodles and even had a go with chopsticks to eat them as part of their Chinese New Year day.

Some of the topics across school this half term include: Antarctica, Magnets, Norwich, Space, The Maya and Music Producers!
Owlets used the penguins from their Antarctic Topic to do some cross curricular maths – measuring the height of the penguins in cubes!

Year 1 shared their work and read to the Owlets this week.

January continues with winter warming activities going on inside!!
Owlets have been continuing to develop writing and spelling as well as ordering numbers from 1 to 20

Welcome back! Happy New Year to all
You can see how far Owlets writing changes – some examples of the differences at this stage.

Owlets have begun to develop their gymnastic skills. Introducing equipment they experienced balancing on different levels.

Can you believe there’s only 2 weeks left! Our 3 performances are next week, hopefully you’ve got your tickets! 🎅🏼We also visit Little Melton Church on Thursday (Garnet and Emerald) and Friday (Citrine and Topaz) – see you there 🎅🏼
Owlets have been learning about time. They thought about activities that they do each day and sorted them into morning and night.

An excellent week for learning outside the classroom – we had Barn Owls visit Gressenhall and a special Viking visitor for Eagle Owls. We also enjoyed a whole school art afternoon making Christmas wreaths for Little Melton Church.
Owlets have been reading ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears.’ They painted landscape pictures of the Three Bears cottage in the woods.
