Owls

Owls - Year R and Year 1

Teachers: Mrs Emma Manley
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Imla Mills

Learning experiences for Foundation Stage children are based on the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. During the first year at school we aim for the children to be happy, form positive relationships with their peers and staff and develop a love for learning. Activities are planned to take place in the classroom and the outdoor learning space which is adjacent to the classroom.

The Year 1 pupils in Owls Class follow the learning intentions in the Year 1 curriculum but still benefit from lots of practical learning activities.

Phonics:

The Year 1 Phonics Screening check will take place during the week 8th- 12th June.

The children have been working really hard to learn all of their Set 2 and 3 sounds and spot them in words that they can read.

If you would like to practise spotting sounds in words with your child at home then click here to see a previous check example:

All the children enjoyed our 'Healthy Eating' Day led by Mr T. We dried a variety of new fruits and vegetables and made fruit smoothies which lots of the children enjoyed even though they thought they might not!

After reading the story 'The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle, the children have been busy planting seeds to grow our own flowers and vegetables.

The children were very excited to start playing with our new water tray with pump attachment. Lots of teamwork and discussion about how the pump works were taking place while the children explored and played.
