Owls
Curriculum Content
Welcome to Owls Class!
Owl class is taught by Mrs Love and Mr Dennis. Learning is supported by Mrs Carruthers.
Spring Term 2026
Topic
Our topic this term is Ancient Egypt! We love this topic as it's hugely engaging for our inquisitive little learners. We learn about Ancient Egyptian culture and social structure, as well as exploring the legacies of this period on life as we know it.
Science
Our topic in science this term is Light. We will learn about how light travels and how we see things. As part of our learning we will be exploring the structure and mechanics of the human eye!
Art
During this term we will be focusing on Textiles and Sculpture. Among other exciting projects, we will be creating Egyptian Cat statues and designing Head-dresses.
Our Class Blog
We are excited to begin another term of learning together and one of our learners will post here a guest Blog in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

Weekly Routines
We have PE on a Thursday only this term (as we have Forest School on Wednesdays). Please ensure that PE kits are weather appropriate and are worn on PE days.
Home learning is primarily key-skill based, with Spellings coming home weekly and Maths related paper and online tasks. We ask that learners Read and/or are Read to each day, to support them in the journey to fluency and to develop a sense of themselves as a reader.
Rewards
Each class in school uses an online platform called Class Dojo. Dojo is a points system that allows us to reward effort, consistency, demonstration of our core values, growth mindset and kindness. As well as collecting points individually, the children are also collecting points for their newly allocated School House. The House with the most points at the end of the year will win the House Cup.
The Houses, and House Leaders are:
House | Related Parish | Teacher Leads |
St. Peter | Langwathby | Mrs Love |
St Cuthbert | Edenhall/Gt.Salkeld | Mrs Hay and Miss Armistead-Burrell |
St. Michael | Addingham | Mr Dennis, Mrs Labbett and Mrs Gale |
St John | Melmerby | Mr Flanagan and Mrs Wilby |
St Luke | Ousby | Miss Houghton and Mrs Wildey |
Learners also have the opportunity to earn individual rewards including: 'special mentions' in our Joy and Gratitude Worship, Learner of the Week awards and Polite Slip allocation.
