Owlets had a very sporty return to school this week with an introduction to cycling afternoon as well as a golf taster session! Hopefully they enjoyed both of them.
Owlets
Superheroes!
Owlets have worked very hard in creating an alter-ego in the shape of a Superhero. We hope you’ll agree they did a splendid job. On Friday they all wore the Superhero masks that they have carefully made, it was excellent! Here is a selection of their characters as well as an insight to their brilliant name writing.
You’ve already done half a year!
Owlets have had a busy and productive week. They did some excellent writing reflecting on their half term activities. They also made some streamers and went outside to enjoy flying them in the wind that we are currently experiencing! Using their imaginations, they then created themselves as SuperHeroes! Ask your child what they decided on…
Have a good half term break!
Owlets have been busy developing their handwriting and having a go at forming sentences about The Tiger Who Came To Tea. They have looked at the number 7 and thought about Valentines Day next week.
Chicks and Chickens
Owlets looked at the life cycle of a chicken this week and could be heard singing along to Dingle Dangle Scarecrow!
They cleverly turned their hand prints into chickens.
Down on the farm
Pupils from Owlets were busy learning all about the farm this week. They discussed what different farm animals give us and they sang along to Old MacDonald Had a Farm with percussion instruments and even had a go on the new Glockenspiels!
They made their very own sheep and then tried estimation and weighing using the scales for some of the maths this week.
On the Farm!
We went outside to explore the frost and ice one cold morning this week. We did some writing in the frost and explored the textures and used different words to describe e.g. slippery, sparkly, spiky, crunchy. We also all chose a frozen leaf and then brought it inside to see what would happen over time.
We did some weighing in our role play farm shop, and drew a map of our school on the blackboard.
We are practicing our pencil control with neat colouring and handwriting linked to our farm topic.
Owlets this week
This week we have started our Down on the Farm topic. We’ve been identifying which animals live on the farm and doing some classifying.
Maths
Lots of the children have also shown an interest in maps and been building their own small worlds with representations of key geographical features.
Happy Christmas!
Owlets wish you all a Merry Christmas
