Owls

Welcome to Owls!

Owl Class 2019-20

Mrs Symmons, Mrs Hooper, Miss Tomsett and Mrs Williams 

Year R have had great fun exploring the story of the Bear Snores On, planning a party, writing shopping lists and shopping for supplies. The children enjoyed playing party games and eating the sandwiches that they had made. We have also learnt all about nocturnal animals, painting amazing pictures and writing some facts about them.

Our topic next half term is Everyday Heroes. We will be reading the story of Supertato and will be inviting lots of special visitors in to talk about their roles as people who help us, e.g. nurses, dentists, vets.  We’d love to hear from you or anybody you know if you would like to visit Year R and describe your job.

We love seeing all the reading at home, please remember to add your photos or videos onto Tapestry.

Oxford Owl is free to sign up to, and has a range of reading books-perfect to read over the Christmas holidays! You can use it on a computer or a tablet. We look forward to seeing your photos or videos! Reading everyday develops confidence when reading.

We had a surprise last week. We found a bear who was fast asleep in our role play shed. There had been a party but the Bear had missed it. The Bear wrote to the children asking if they could have a party together. The children were delighted with the letter and have been busy planning shopping lists for the party tea and visiting Waitrose to buy the ingredients.

We have reached the end of our first half term. The children have settled in brilliantly and we are very proud of them. Our ‘All About Me’ topic has come to an end. We have enjoyed our number walk and sharing door numbers. Please continue to add your child’s learning onto Tapestry.

We are very proud of the children and how they have settled in this half term. The children are enjoying exploring the wing and the meadow using all of their senses. The children have been learning each other’s names, how to get along and share their ideas with the class. The children have been developing their listening skills and learning to follow instructions, we hope the children show you their listening skills over half term.  Please do continue to be number and shape detectives over the half term, we are loving seeing all your home learning.

Thank you for coming along to the Literacy and Numeracy Workshops. The presentations are below; we hope they are helpful.

We have been enjoying getting to know all the children in Year R. We are very impressed with how the children have picked up on the routines of the day.

We are loving seeing home learning on Tapestry, please do add your child’s home achievements. Remember to add your door numbers.

In Literacy we have been reading ‘Funny Bones’, the children have been creating collages of skeletons and making models with moving parts.

In maths, we have been learning to count objects accurately. Ask your child about the strategies we have been learning about.  

The meadow has proved very popular, it has been wonderful to see the children discussing ideas and problem solving together. Thank you for sending in spare clothes and wellies. We can keep wellies at school in a named carrier bag.

Please do come along to our workshops
