Owls

Welcome to Owls Class!

Owl class is taught by Mrs Love and Mr Dennis. Learning is supported by Mrs Carruthers.

Summer Term 2024

Topic

Our topic this term is Stone Age to Iron Age Britain. We will learn about life in Britain over this period and how it changed. This topic sees us exploring copper-mining, tool-development, the inception of hillforts and the importance of Druidism to the people of the age. We will bring the learning to life through reference to local geography and geology, and through the study of artefacts borrowed from the School Library Service. The children are already incredibly enthused by this Theme and we are set to have a brilliant term answering their fantastic historical questions. 

Science

Our topics in science this term are Plants and Animals, Evolution, adaptation and inheritance. These aspects of Scientific study always fascinate learners and the units leave them with a greater understanding of both the world around them and their role within it (as both stewards and scientists).

Art

During this term we will be focusing on collage and textiles. The children will explore the joining of fabric through DT and the potential for mixed media and paper collage to produce meaningful and refined artworks. 

Our Class Blog

Well Spring Term was every bit as jam-packed as Autumn Term! Our learners begin this Summer Term with great excitement: not only is this the term of the KS2 Production but it also sees us participate in the Brightstars Social Enterprise Project. We are setting up our own Owl Class Business with a Social Enterprise focus. Watch this space for details and updates! 

Weekly Routines

We have PE on a Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure that PE kits are weather appropriate and are worn on PE days. 

Home learning is set on a half termly basis and will take the form of 4 creative tasks on Seesaw. 

KIRFS should be practiced weekly and will be assessed each week on a rolling schedule. 

Spellings are given out on a Friday, practiced through the week, and tested again the following Friday. Spelling activities are completed in class but your child will bring home their weekly words in a home spelling book to practise at home.

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: 

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.
