Snowy Owls visited Pensthorpe as a scientific enrichment day, studying birds and mini beasts as well as habitats and pond-dipping. A great day was had by all.
They were also allowed to go on the enormous play apparatus, including a huge slide!
The Snowy Owls have enjoyed further exploration of ice this week during Science. The children added salt to an ice bowl and observed how it melted the ice. They added paint to watch where the salt melted the ice first – great fun!
Snowy Owls had a lovely week, including a visit to Pensthorpe Natural Park, which we will post about next week! They have been exploring warm and cool colours in art. They have looked at Monet’s Snow Scene and created their own versions.
Snowy Owls have been investigating ice this week in science. We put ice cubes in different places around school and timed them to see which ice cube melted the fastest!
Year 2 tried out their maths skills by taking turns at being a customer or shopkeeper. The customers were great at selecting the correct coins to pay with and those eagle-eyed shopkeepers checked the money carefully!
Snowy Owls had a royal visitor as part of their history topic looking at kings and queens. Queen Victoria was very impressed and the children had a lovely day.
Sugar mice have been a tradition at Christmas since Victorian times. they often used to be made by Victorian children as a gift for their parents and were hung on the Christmas tree. The Snowy Owls certainly enjoyed having a go at making them.
The whole school collaborated for a Church art project making lanterns. It was a lovely afternoon.
Snowy Owls continue with their design technology lessons by adding a movable wheel to their Little Red Riding Hood pictures. they carefully drew a big bad wolf on the wheels.
The Year 2 pupils were able to go to their first sporting event away from school, at Easton College, where they participated in a multi skills festival with other Year 2 pupils from across our cluster.
In Snowy Owls, the children are really enjoying reading alternative versions of fairy tales in preparation for writing their own version of Little Red Riding Hood. They have started reading Little Red Riding Hood this week, and have been sequencing the events of the story.
Snowy Owls created pictures of a woodland habitat and labelled them to show what you might find in a wood.
They have been making movable pictures for design technology by adding a slider to the story of The Gingerbread Man.
Welcome back! In art this week, Snowy Owls have been very busy creating fabulous Firework pictures ready for the weekend. They look so effective!
