This week the Tawny Owls enjoyed continuing to learn about animals and their habitats. They also had great fun learning a new version of rock, paper, scissors - nut, mouse, owl!
The Red Team worked collaboratively to create a life sized, red Pudsey Bear. The older children were great role models to the younger children and everyone supported one another allowing the group to flourish.
The whole school came in wearing odd socks yesterday in a bid to, 'Make A Noise About Bullying'. The children had an assembly on the importance of speaking up if they ever see bullying or are ever bullied themselves, including online/cyber bullying. The Tawny Owls then went on to discuss this further as it relates to their PSHE unit of work. We looked at the differences between being unkind, teasing and bullying.
The Tawny Owls learnt about how trees change throughout the seasons with Ranger Rob. They used fantastic vocabulary such as, xylem which transports water from the roots to the crown.
It was lovely to have so many family members join us for book look in the Tawny Owls. The children are always so proud of their learning and are eager to share this with you.
The children in Tawny Owls learnt about woodlice during their Wildlife Trust afternoon. They learnt many facts about them and then searched our environmental area for them. Some children decided to take shelter from the wind and rain!
This year the theme for Anti-Bullying Week is 'Make A Noise About Bullying' and will take place from Monday 13th to Friday 17th November. Today, we kicked off with Odd Socks Day where adults and children wore odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.
The Tawny Owls explored the strength and stability of structures in Design Technology this week. They worked in groups to test how strong a piece of card could be if folded/rolled with accuracy. The winning team could balance 65 books on one piece of card!
The Tawny Owls are showing great ability at being able to log on and off their Chromebooks independently. They are beginning to navigate their way around search engines to reach the internet site required for learning. We had a good discussion today about internet safety and keeping your login and password details secret.
For their English unit, Iggy Peck Architect the children in Tawny Owls have been researching famous London landmarks. They have used information sheets and Chromebooks in small groups to gather key information that they will then use to create their very own fact files next week.
Our friends from Open the Book told us a Christian story from the bible - the moral of the story was to be grateful for our family and friends. We were very proud of William who volunteered to take the role of Jesus in the story.
The Tawny Owls had their session with the Wildlife Trust today. They explored and classified different types of leaves and created beautiful crowns.
The Tawny Owls were challenged to construct interesting buildings today for the start of their English unit. They created new names for them by combining different sounds together. The pupils then learnt about pronouns and the importance of using capital letters when writing them.
During Science the pupils had to predict if certain objects were going to float or sink. We discussed the properties of the objects before we conducted the investigation. The children had some fantastic reasoning behind their thoughts, for example, George was unsure if the cotton wool would float or sink, ''because it will soak up the water and then become heavy so might sink.''
The Tawny Owls have been learning that Christian's believe in The Creation Story and what this entails. Today they created a collage picture of the world - the children could remember the elements that they had to include, which Christian's say God made.
To mark the start of the new academic year, every child in the school read the book 'The Dot' and painted their own dot. The Dot, written by Peter Reynolds, is a wonderful picture book that encourages children to try new or challenging things, to explore their creativity and to have confidence in their abilities. A great book to spark discussions about our ambitions as individuals and a school for the coming year. We look forward to seeing all of the children flourish this year just like the character in the book.
As part of Recycle Week, the Tawny Owls took part in an engaging workshop where they learnt about the properties of materials (linked to their Science topic) and how to recycle them. During the workshop, they sorted a variety of rubbish, created their own fridge magnets and did some role play. They thoroughly enjoyed the session and learnt a great deal!
The Tawny Owls painted some beautiful artwork ready for a whole school display. This art was based on the story, 'The Dot' which is about a little girls journey of surprise and self-discovery.
The year one children have been exploring their new classroom environment. They have particularly enjoyed their outdoor learning space!
On the final Monday of term, parents and carers had the chance to view the brilliant work Miss Spooncer has been carrying out with her troop of cheerleaders at their after school club over the past months.
It was an impressive performance, and the level of challenge and attention to detail was evident. Many thanks to Miss Spooncer for all of her dedication to the pupils and their work. The whole school were treated to a circus workshop led by Circus in Schools. The children had the opportunity to experience a range of activities including juggling, plate spinning and stilt walking. Not only was the day a fun way to end the academic year but also an opportunity for children to develop co-ordination, confidence and self-esteem. The children showcased their skills to families at the end of the day.
