Owls Weekly Blog WC 13.02.2023
(Unfortunately due to technical issues on our school websites data including Owls January blog posts have been lost. If you have any questions, please contact myself on class dojo. Many thanks!)
This week we have…
This Week's Theme: We have started learning all about the different weathers we can see, how we are more likely to see different weather in changing seasons. During our circle time on Tuesday, we talked about using kind words to make others feel special and loved. We have created love potions, made cupcakes and wrote lovely messages in our Valentine’s Day cards!
Literacy: We have been reading ‘Rain’ by Sam Usher, the character in our story describes what he enjoys to do when the rain clouds come. The children have written their own fab sentences about what they like to do when it is raining, catching raindrops on their tongue, splashing in puddles and we have made rain catchers to put around our outside areas.
The children have also had the brilliant idea of taking their milk bottles home to use as mini rain catchers. We would love to see any pictures you take this week of your rain catcher collecting water!
Numeracy: The children have been using different measuring vocabulary in their play this afternoon, comparing objects and competing to push their cars the furthest distance!
Please note that reading books will not be sent out during half term however please continue to practise weekly review sounds from the QR codes in reading diaries.
Next half term we will…
HOME- Our new whole school topic
After half term we will begin our new whole school topic- Home. This has been planned around the theme of the importance of our homes to us and the human conflicts and natural disasters that result in homelessness for others. We are hoping to use photographs of our children’s homes as part of our displays. If you would like to, please send or e-mail a photo/copy of your home into school after half term. Thank you.
In Owls we will be continuing our topic of the climates and the weather. We will then be exploring animals around the world learning about their life cycles and patterns/prints. We will begin our very exciting mini beast topic with a trip to Delamere Forest where we will walk part of the Superworm Trail and finally we will be exploring how we can look after our world by reducing, reusing and recycling!
Next Half Term Events:
1st March – World Book Day
8th March – Owls Trip to Delamere Forest
17th March – Red Nose Day (Non-uniform day)
22nd March – Parents Evening
30th March – School Disco!
We hope you have a fantastic weekend!
From,
Miss Dalby and Mrs Rathbone
