Snowy Owls are looking at how the seasons change through the year and are looking at the changes in trees at the moment – which are glorious at the moment!

What a lovely end to the first half term – our Harvest Assembly. Thank you all so much for your donations and for braving the torrential rain to join us! Have a great half term.
In Snowy Owls the pupils have been looking at graphs and collating information on eyes to complete a maths/science project.
This week in Year 1 we have been learning about speech bubbles. We created speech bubbles for the vegetables in Supertato! We also spent time with our new learning partners in Barn Owls and have been thinking about number ordering in maths.
Tawny Owls have also been doing more extended pieces of writing about Supertato.
Part of the busy week that Snowy Owls had was a visit from Emma the Dental Nurse and Derek the Dinosaur. We were told all about the importance of brushing our teeth regularly and how to look after our teeth properly with advice on what to eat and drink!
Snowy Owls have been experimenting with different mechanisms within children’s books in preparation to design and make our own cards with mechanisms or moving features. This week we had a go at making cards with a sliding mechanism and got creative with different themes.
The Year 2 children have started to sew their puppets in the Tawny Teaching Area and everyone had a go at using playdough to make the organs within our bodies in science.
Year 1 have been learning how to count on using number lines and counters. They have also been thinking about sentence structures in literacy.
Snowy Owls have been learning about body parts this week, drawing around themselves and labelling. They have been drawing chalk number lines on the playground and enjoyed a tennis taster session last week.
They have also been investigating place value and learning how to write numbers in numerals and words in Tawny Owls in the mornings.
While the whole school enjoy the annual Den Day – in good weather – we reflect on another fantastic year at Little Melton. We enjoyed the Leavers Performance on Wednesday evening and then Friday was a busy day- bidding a fond farewell to our lovely Year 6 pupils who have done us proud for 7 years, and celebrating the end of another year of learning for our youngsters. THANK YOU all for your wonderful gifts and well wishes, and we wish you all a fabulous summer break
Our penultimate week before the summer hols had the Owlets go on a visit to Banham Zoo, Snowy have a beach-classroom day; Barn had pop-corn as part of a celebration and Eagle are script ready for the Leavers performance.
Snowy Owls learning about Punch and Judy as part of their history topic. We made swazzles.
