Owlets

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

The whole school have had a lovely end to the half term, learning about the Platinum Jubilee and doing different arts and crafts to celebrate. We hope you all have a fun week and make lots of historical memories with your little ones for the Jubilee weekend.

We were all treated to a biscuit and some squash on Friday afternoon. Happy half term everyone.

This week Owlets have been learning about how life in Africa is different to life in the UK. We learnt about the Maasai tribe and made collar necklaces.

Owlets have been busy with their Africa project, making african wildlife out of their hand prints. Can you recognise the animal?

They have secured their number  bonds to 10 as well as developed their sounds into spellings

For Real PE this week they were having fun with the parachute

They then had a fantastic end to the week with some Active Spanish!

Owlets are starting to think about the African continent and have drawn on the outline of Africa.
