Owls
Curriculum Content
Welcome to Owls Class!
Owl class is taught by Mrs Love and Mr Dennis. Learning is supported by Mrs Carruthers and Miss Wilson.
Autumn Term 2025
Topic
Our topic this term is the Tudors! We look at The Tudor Monarchs, Tudor Life, Exploration and Legacy. This topic is rich in cross curricular links, so we have lots of connected learning planned- from Art, to Dance to English.
Science
Our topic in science this term is Humans and Other Animals & Teeth. Our learners will learn more about the systems of the Body and how to stay healthy; food chains and webs and teeth and digestion.
Art
During this term we will be focusing on Collage, Drawing and Painting- we will be using both to explore our Tudor theme.
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 Monday and Thursday. 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.
