Friday – English
Last Friday in Owl Class, we were practicing holding a debate about the circumstances and consequences of a character’s actions. Owls got stuck into this brilliantly and several groups got to perform some brilliant debates in front of everyone else. Good work Owls!
Science – Owls – Biodiversity
Yesterday in Owl Class we experimented the school grounds for evidence of biodiversity. The children paid very close attention to the smallest of insects to the biggest of trees. Great work Owls! 
Welcome back Owl Class (24/25)
I am so excited to welcome you all back to Owl Class next Wednesday for our first day of 2024-25. I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday with lots of sun and lots of rest! I certainly have! I look forward to hearing what you all got up to.
To begin Autumn term, attached below are the general timetable and curriculum map:
General Owl Timetable Autumn 1 2024
Here is a few reminders / important bits of information for the upcoming term:
- PE will be on Monday and Tuesday, please come in your PE kit for those two days unless notified otherwise.
- Please bring your reading diaries and reading books in EVERY day. We will check on Tuesday that each child is reading at least 3x per week. All other equipment is provided by the school.
- Homework is due in on Tuesday mornings. This is compulsory. On Wednesdays, the class will take a cold spelling test, where they are tested on grouped words. Each child will take home – the same day (sometimes Thursdays) – a personalised spelling list that they will need to practice for the following Tuesday where the hot test is undertaken first thing in the morning. They will also have to complete a homework task and practice their times tables with evidence in their books. Times tables are also tested throughout the school week.
- Our school day starts at 8.45am with the hall door opening at 8.40am. A member of staff is always on the door to the hall so please feel free to use this as an opportunity to share communication or ask any questions you have.
I am really excited to begin our school term next week and I look forward to welcoming you all next Wednesday (4th Sep) at 8:40!
Mr Arthur 🙂
Y6 leavers trip – Hollywood Bowl
What a great time we had at Hollywood Bowl to celebrate our lovely Y6 leavers’ time at Ruyton school. Lots of fun and lots of competitiveness!
Forest School – Owl Class
Owls had their final forest school session yesterday (Y6s last ever!). It was lovely to see the class enjoying their last week here and they learnt all about decomposition and how to look after natural materials better through recycling.
Area Sports at Bomere
Well done to everyone who competed in area sports at bomere heath this morning! Ruyton did brilliantly, achieving 4 gold medals in total. Certificates will be handed out in Friday’s celebration.
Day of the dead masks!
Our completed day of the dead masks. Well done Owl class. A great arts week.
Painting our papier mache day of the dead masks
Owls’ day of the dead masks are nearly done! We have made 2 solid layers of papier mache, and have painted a base layer of white onto all the masks ready for the detailed colour to be added this afternoon. Stay tuned for the final results!
Making papier mache Day of the Dead masks
Here are our Owls creating a papier mache mask which they will then paint to take home later in the week. Well done everyone!
