Spring Term Second Half

Owl Babies

We loved the story Owl Babies and finding out about owls. Of course, the highlight of the week was meeting some real owls! We enjoyed lots of owl activities, including writing information about owls, creating owl masks, cutting out shapes to make owls, using puppets to act out the story of Owl Babies and printing pictures of owls using sponges. Here we are enjoying some owl-themed creative activities.

Our Visit From Liam and His Owls

We were very lucky to experience a visit from Liam from the UK Owl and Raptor Centre. He bought three different types of owls to show us. Eileen was a Long Eared owl and Bindi was a Southern BooBook owl. We also met Zazu. We got to see the owls up close and they flew just over our heads! It was amazing to see these wonderful birds and hear some interesting facts about them. Mostly they flew to their perch and then back to Liam for a tasty treat but on a couple of occasions they landed on other places in our Year R outdoor area!

Spring Term First Half

Chinese New Year

We had a fantastic week learning about Chinese New Year. It started with a super workshop. We found out where China is in the world and looked at the Chinese flag. We found out how people celebrate Chinese New Year and had lots of fun learning a Chinese lion dance. Then we became a Chinese dragon and processed around the school hall with fans and parasols leading the way.

Tasting Chinese Foods

We enjoyed tasting some Chinese foods and ingredients. We were all very brave and some of us tasted things we hadn't tried before. We tasted rice, rice noodles, spring onions, fresh ginger, soy sauce, beansprouts and prawn crackers. We thought about whether we liked the foods, whether we didn't like them or if we weren't quite sure.

Chinese Lanterns

We made Chinese lanterns. We listened carefully to instructions to make sure we cut the card in the correct places and had fun decorating our lanterns with gold glitter.

Autumn Term First Half

The Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread Man sent us a letter to tell us he had been exploring our school. We followed his clues to find him but we weren't quite quick enough to catch him but he very kindly left of some of his friends to eat!

"Run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man"
