Week 1

Welcome back to a new term! This is going to be another busy time with lots of trips, events and learning opportunities. As the weather becomes colder and wetter please make sure coats and a spare pair of trainers and/or wellies are in school every day.

This week the ‘Wellbeing Warriors’ workshop started. Owls took part in activities that involved the five steps to wellbeing - Connect with people, be active, keep learning, give and take notice. A great first session which finished with all children writing and receiving a compliment card. There were some very thoughtful and kind compliments!

We are off to the Stone Age in our History topic this term. This week’s learning focused on when the Stone Age was in time. Owls learnt what prehistoric, Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, chronology and BC/AD, BCE/CE mean. Ask your Owl all about it!

On Thursday morning we had the most amazing time learning our Bollywood dance. We only had 45 minutes to learn the routine but I think we did a brilliant job. Even Mrs Oberholzer and Mrs Williams showed us their moves!

To end our art topic, we continued to look at Andy Goldsworthy and sculptures. In the outside classroom, we collected natural resources and created our own sculptures. I think you will agree, they are fantastic. It took great team work, communication, resilience and creativity to complete them.

Finally, thank you very much for your kind wishes, cards and presents. I will miss you all but will definitely have my hands full! See you all in the Summer.
