Welcome to Owl Class

English:

In English, we are reading 'Ocean meets sky' written by Eric Fan and Terry Fan. We will be learning to write character descriptions, a captain's log and instructions.

 Our English lessons will ensure the children can do the following:

• Consider what they are going to write before beginning.
• Evaluate their writing with the teacher and other pupils.
• Proof-read to check for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation.
• Learn how to use both familiar and new punctuation correctly, including full stops, capital letters, exclamation marks, question marks, commas for lists and apostrophes for contracted forms and the possessive (singular).

Maths:

In Maths, we are learning about fractions.

Foundation Subjects:

On Thursdays we have our PE learning. This half term we will be learning athletics and games.

In History we will be learning about Explorers.

In Science we will be learning about Humans.

Helpful Reminders:

• Please make sure your child has their reading record and a labelled water bottle in school every day and that their jumpers are clearly labelled.

• Our PE day this year will be every Thursday. The children should come to school in their PE kits on a Thursday. 

• We will be visiting the Library on Thursday afternoons. Please can children bring their library books in on Thursdays so that they can change them and choose different stories to share with you at home.

• To minimise the risk of lost property, we ask that all clothing items are clearly labelled with a name, even PE kit items. 

• If you would like some suggestions to find information for the children's homework then please look at the links listed below.

Thank you,

Miss Holloway 

Feathers and Fur Visit:

We had a wonderful time meeting the birds brought into school by Sadie from Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre.

The birds we met were, Rossi the Harris Hawk, Bourneville the Kestrel and Charlie the Indian Eagle Owl. I was very lucky to be able to hold Charlie, she was very big, but interestingly not too heavy! :)
