Owl

Welcome to Owl Class

We are over half way through the first half term! We have been very busy indeed, we were very lucky to have a visitor from Feathers and Fur who brought in some beautiful birds to show us. This is linked to our History topic we will be starting.

English:

In English, we will be starting a new book this week, called 'Jim and the Beanstalk', written by Raymond Briggs. We will start off by looking at the different characters in the book and about their thoughts and feelings.

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 Addition and Subtraction, we are going to be adding and subtracting across 10 and thinking about 10 more and 10 less and subtracting in 10s.

Foundation Subjects:

On Thursdays we have our PE learning. This half term we will be practising multi-skills.

In History we will be learning all about the 'History of Flight'.

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! :)
