Owl Class had a great time at Shropshire Hills on Friday. This time, the visit was centred around ‘Thinking Like Darwin’. The children understood how fossils were discovered, and got to make their own. They also learnt how different birds’ beaks suit different foods, therefore the more dominant species survived. We looked at the mammoth in the exhibition and Owls demonstrated great knowledge to share how they understood that elephants have evolved from them. Overall, the class were well behaved but showed lots of enthusiasm too.

Yesterday, Owl Class went to church for a Y5/6 workshop centred around Advent and the meaning behind it. The children listened so well and learnt lots, and were incredibly respectful to all the church helpers. Well done Owls!

We have had such a lovely day in Owl Class taking part in No Pens Day. The day is centred around Speech and Language UK, who raise awareness for children who experience difficulties with spoken language, communication and listening. The day has consisted of lots of communication games, tasks without being able to speak and a huge show and tell in the afternoon. Owls responded so well to the activities, showing a brilliant understanding of the importance of different types of communication. Well done everyone!
