Owlets

Well winter certainly hit us this week! What a chill was in the air – but we were warm and cosy in school, and working hard.
Owlets continue to learn about shape. They made 2D houses out of lolly sticks!

This week we have been reading ‘The Three Little Pigs.’ Owlets made houses for the toy pigs out of different construction. 🐷 🐷 🐷

This week Owlets have been naming and creating patterns with 2D shapes.

Well it’s been a long half term, but we made it! Lots of autumnal activities going on this week, including pumpkins of course! Have a great half term break 🎃

This week Owlets having been learning about Harvest Festivals. We made scarecrow faces and sang Dingle Dangle Scarecrow.

We had fun scooping out pumpkins and looking at the seeds! 👻 🎃 🕷️ 🧙

In maths, Owlets have been making repeating patterns.

In science we have been learning about floating and sinking.

Another busy week at Little Melton, learning going on in all areas from cooking in the hall to maths on the playground!
Owlets have been learning maths outside the classroom with different size balls to throw and catch.

In science, Owlets have been learning about their bodies and labelling the different parts.

Owlets started to learn about capacity by filling containers with coloured rice.

Another topsy turvy weather week with horrible wet play times then glorious sun by the end of the week!! Here’s some of what we’ve been up to!
Science continues with Mr Pritchard. This week the children dropped raisins into still and fizzy water to see what happened. In the still water the raisins sunk to the bottom of the cup. In the fizzy water they sunk too, but because bubbles get trapped on them they float back to the top. So we had ‘Dancing raisins”

Snowy Owls visited us with the books they had made. They read them to Owlets.📖

On Wednesday Owlets took part in a science activity with Mr Pritchard. They tasted 2 different juices (lemon and blackcurrant) and told Mr Pritchard which flavours they thought they were. Then they tasted a drink that looked like orange juice, but was water with orange food colouring in. Could they tell that it wasn’t orange juice?

Owlets have been listening to the story of Owl Babies. They sequenced the story and retold it in their own words.

Well done to all the Owlets for settling into full time school so well this week. They are supported by their Eagle Owl buddies who are there for them should they need anything 🩷 Here are some other things we got up to!

Owlets have settled very well into school life. They have been sorting teddies by size or colour, making a cube tower for their partner to copy.

Owlets have settled very well into school life. They have been learning how to grow a rainbow in science 🌈
