Our topic this half term is Owls. The children have already enjoyed sharing their holiday envelopes with us and are now finding out about the Owls in lots of different stories.
Our Literacy lessons this term will be based on the stories of Owl babies and The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.
WIND IN THE WILLOWS AND ROWING
Snowy Owls have really been enjoying our new topic. We have been reading the Wind in the Willows book and have got as far as the Wild Wood chapter.
We looked in detail at Badger's underground house and thought what it would be like to live underground. We looked at the part in the chapter when Ratty gets a bit claustrophobic from being underground for so long.
We took part in a debate- River living Vs Underground living.
Here are some pictures.
Our topic for Summer 2 is Wind in the Willows and Rowing.
UNDER THE SEA
Our topic for Summer Term 1 is Under The Sea!
We have also been very lucky to have ducklings at school. Snowy Owls were particularly lucky to see them hatch. Here are some pictures.
GORILLAS

In Art we have made a jungle and cage. We have been discussing what it would be like to be in them both and the comparisons.

We managed to squeeze in some fun outside in the snow today.
I think Mrs Sheppard is having the most fun!
Our topic for Spring Term 2 is Gorillas! Don't forget the Explorer's Day on Thursday 22nd February!

Our Literacy lessons this term will be based on stories with a toy theme. The children have already read Dogger, focusing on using Time Conjunctions to sequence the story. We are now moving onto using the Disney Pixar film Toy Story as a visual literacy prompt for character descriptions.

We had a fantastic time on International Day, look at our costumes!
We also really enjoyed our World Music Workshop.We played lots of different instruments and had great fun performing.
60s INSPIRED 3D OP ART
During the Autumn Term, we looked at drawing our own eyes. This term, we have compared human eyes to dragon's eyes!
Look at our Dragon Eye Display!
Well Done to one of our Snowy Owls for creating a game and raising £4.20 for Comic Relief! We all had fun playing the game on Friday and winning a prize!
In Art we have been learning about the history of the Faberge Eggs.
We created our own Faberge Eggs by painting polystyrene eggs with metallic paint and then dipping in glitter. Once dried, we decorated with our own selection of jewels that parents kindly donated. Don't they look amazing!
Sadly our chocolate theme has come to an end but we can now start thinking about our next exciting adventure learning about Dragons next term!
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter
