Owl Babies

Hello everyone,

Hope you have all had a good weekend.

Last week we had some stories about rockets including Whatever next, Qpottle 5 and Whoops it wasn't me. The children really enjoyed listening to these stories. The children made their own rockets out of junk modelling and these are hanging in the classroom. We made our own breadstick sparklers and explored what happens when you heat up chocolate. The children finished their firework pictures adding glitter to them. In the garden this week the children have planted some garlic. we have been making sounds with our bodies and putting them into a sequence. Jennie jigsaw shared a story about Barry the fish with fingers and we talked about how we are all special.

This week we will be looking at the story of owl babies along with other owl stories. The children are interested to find out about owls as a child bought a poster in about owls and they wanted to find out more. We will be making our own owl puppets so the children can retell the story to you at home, owl number game recognising numerals upto 6, talking about what we know about owls, collaging owls with different textures and lots more. We will be also exploring torches and the dark.

Jennie Jigsaw

We will be looking at our families and who in our families, this goes very well with the story of the owl babies.

Letters and Sounds

The children have really enjoyed finding words that rhyme last week so will be continuing with this. We will also be singing some owl songs.

Home learning

As we are talking about families this week, it would be lovely if the children could bring in a family photo to go on our Jennie Jigsaw board along with the children talking about their family during circle time.
If you would like to bring something in to do with our learning of owls, please do. It could be a picture, something you made or a story about owls.
