Owl Class

Welcome to Owl Class

In Owl Class we are very lucky to have two teachers, Miss Downes and Mr Copsey. Our Teaching Assistant is the brilliant Mrs Benjamin.

Summer Term

This term, in Year 1, we are learning about how the weather changes with the seasons; and, in the second half term, we will be learning about animals and their habitats. In our art lessons we will be using a range of materials, including clay and various fabrics.

Our class assembly will take place this term, on the same morning as our reading café: Thursday 18th May, starting at 9am.

PE days: Children will need to bring in their PE kit on Thursdays and Fridays. It is also recommended that children have a sun hat in school every day.

Learning

We start each morning with handwriting, phonics, reading and Maths. After break we have our English lesson. We always have a fantastic book that we read to help us with our writing. In the afternoon we do topic work and other subjects such as, computers, art, music and PE. Each half term we have an exciting new topic to explore. We love listening to and joining in with stories in our daily reading for pleasure session.

Once a week we have a ‘Reading Buddy’ session with Fox Class. We really enjoy sharing books with our buddies in the library.

Homework

Reading to a member of our household for at least 10 minutes a day. This has been proven to have a have a great impact on our learning in all areas of the curriculum.

Outside Area

We have a fabulous outside classroom to encourage us to use our imagination.
