Welcome back – Owl Class Spring 2023
Welcome back to our new school term; we have had a brilliant first few days back in school sharing our Christmas highlights and getting back to a bit of normality. There has been much laughter in class this week! We’re also delighted to have been joined by a new member of Owls , Ellie, who everyone has helped settle in brilliantly.
We have an action-packed Spring Term ahead. Here is this term’s overview of what we will be learning:
I think you will agree there are some fascinating lessons coming up. We will also be enjoying a full day Ancient Egyptian workshop (with VR headsets!) whilst the Year 6 squad will also have Arthog to look forward to at the end of this term plus sports trips, Young Voices and more!
Here is our weekly timetable – there are no changes to music or PE days this term. Some children can find this useful to have printed at home and on display:
