Our new Snowy Owls
Welcome back to Snowy Owls. They are settling into their new routines and have had a lovely week. Snowy Owls have been learning about secondary colours and painting in the style of Mark Rothko.

Glockenspiel Practice
Snowy Owls have been using the Glockenspiels to play different notes along to songs from our MUSIC scheme – Charanga. Learning so many things – playing in unison, keeping a rhythm, taking turns, following a musical pattern so they know when to begin, how to play the instrument successfully! Wow! They were so proud, they played along for Mrs House to listen to – it was fab!
French Cafe
We held a very successful French Cafe in the hall, where children were serving each other and ordering in French, alongside those parents who were able to join us. There were French activities to do in classroom – using pointillism to create an Eiffel Tower as well as the older children looking at Asterix the cartoon character. It was a lovey morning – thank you to Mrs Hamilton for arranging and to Eagle and Barn for being so good at the language.
Being physically active in maths
Snowy Owls made obstacle courses in maths to practice using positional language such as left, right, forward and backwards.
Snowy Owls had a creative afternoon on Friday making Jubilee art.
The whole school have had a lovely end to the half term, learning about the Platinum Jubilee and doing different arts and crafts to celebrate. We hope you all have a fun week and make lots of historical memories with your little ones for the Jubilee weekend.
We were all treated to a biscuit and squash on Friday afternoon. Happy half term everyone!
Snowy Owls have begun to paint their underwater sea creatures – don’t they look effective!
Our Blue Planet
This week Snowy Owls have been very creative in their art lessons using a new medium – clay. They have created an underwater creature.
Our Blue Planet
Snowy Owls have produced some wonderful art work for their Blue Planet display with a massive range of sea creatures. They look really effective over the top of the beautiful blue paintings that they already produced for the ocean.
They also practiced their ball skills with some agility drills that will prepare them for sports day.
Snowy Owls have been looking at floating and sinking in maths
We explored floating and sinking this week in the Snowy Owls. We made predictions before we tested various items to see if they might float or sink. We did have some surprise items such as cotton wool and rubber bands!
We have also thought about the Earth being almost 3/4 water and produced some different shades of blue for our Blue Planet display.
