The Tawny Owls had a dental nurse visit today from Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise. They had a very informative session on how to look after their teeth. They were each given a book called, Open Wide and Step Inside and a toothbrushing kit. 

The Tawny Owls were delighted to receive a letter today from King Charles III. 
The pupils had sent copies of their persuasive letters to the government, to His Royal Highness when they were learning the story, The Journey Home which was about endangered animals. 
It was lovely to see the excitement on the children's faces when we had this exciting delivery and it has given great purpose to their writing. 
In the letter the King thanked the children, 'for sending him copies of the splendid messages you sent...and was immensely touched to learn that you all care deeply about protecting animals, and greatly appreciates the care with which you composed your letters'. 

The Tawny Owls looked at and discussed the similarities and differences between the houses in UK and Uganda. They then took their learning outside and created model villages. 
They then used the Chromebooks to create PowerPoint presentations that told the audience about what they had learnt throughout this Geography unit. It was great to see how confident they all were standing in front of their peers, talking about their new knowledge.

The DMAT catering team organised an Easter competition where the children had to design their own Easter egg so we could decorate the lunch serving hatch. Mr Hill chose his top 4 designs, with May winning first prize, well done!

In DT this half term Snowy Owls have created models of Lunar Rovers. The children thought carefully about what features were needed and how to construct their models. They then tested them outside - all of them could move over the rough terrain.
