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.
This week Snowy Owls made some sandwiches for Mr Grinning the lighthouse keeper. He wanted a healthy sandwich to eat while he was at work. We practised first and then had a go with our choice of filling. We also taste tested them!
The Year 1 pupils were busy this week with more practical maths. they have been working with numbers up to 100. Pupils created giant number lines then explored partitioning tens and ones.
It has been National Sports Week this week and as a physically active school we have made extra effort to make sure that we continue to include lessons in the whole curriculum that get the children up and about! Here we have Year 1 finding quarters of amounts outside and the Year 2’s working out how long a minute is by doing tasks that they had to stop at exactly a minute in! They were also completing investigative science using shadows.
