Owlets

We have completed the first half term – well done everyone! This week Owlets have been making repeating patterns and learning about parts of our bodies.

This week Owlets have been continuing their learning about Harvest. We read the book ‘The Little Red Hen’ and made toast with jam! In maths we have been sorting objects into big and small. We also looked at the work of the famous artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. owlets designed their own vegetable fruit portraits!

Owlets have been  learning about Harvest. They sorted different foods into groups and did some fruits and vegetable printing. In maths they have been comparing different amounts of objects.

Owlets have been having a go at self portraits this week. This is an important skill and they did a very good job for the first try we hope you agree!

They have also heard and worked with the term ‘adjectives’ to describe the story ‘ Five Minutes Peace’

This week Owlets sponge painted some baby owls for a display. They made Mini Me stick puppets, played some musical instruments and practiced counting the Compare Bears accurately.

We have had a lovely week starting to get used to routines and meeting Year 6 so that they have a buddy around school.

Owlets have been listening to the story of Owl Babies by Martin Waddell and completing some activities. They have enjoyed exploring the outdoor classroom and making new friends. Today they had a go at making some patterns with the pegs and boards.

Owlets delighted us all with their language skills on Friday with a fabulous Spanish rendition of ‘My Uncle has a Farm’ …… and in front of not only the whole school, but also with parents in the audience – wow – well done! Here they are with their animal masks – why not take a look at the song on YouTube and sing along with them!

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.

Owlets showed their increasing fine motor skills by cutting out some feet to dip into a lovely blue sea this week! They also continued to develop maths understanding using the = symbol
