Welcome to the Owls Class!

Welcome to the Owls class! The Owls is a Reception class which currently has 26 hard-working pupils! Our teacher is Miss Biddle and our teaching assistant is Mrs Williams. We also have Mrs Lotay who is a learning support assistant.
We work hard in the Owls and we play hard too! We have lots of fun learning about interesting topics. At the beginning of each half term we help our teachers to plan our topic. We decide what we want to learn about and which challenges we would like to complete.
Every morning we have Read, Write, Inc sessions. Read, Write, Inc is a phonics programme designed to introduce the skills of reading and writing from initial sounds right through to comprehension and extended writing activities. We also have Mathematics in the mornings, we learn from the Numicon and Inspire Maths schemes.
We like to learn outdoors as well as in the classroom and try to get outside as much as possible. We have weekly outdoor learning sessions throughout the year and also have the chance to enjoy Forest School and Diggerland sessions.
We like to stay active and have regular 'Wake up, shake up' throughout the week. Our PE sessions are on a Monday and the children are asked to come dressed in their PE clothes on this day.
Some important information:
- The school day begins at 8.45a.m. and ends at 3.15p.m, we like to get busy straight away so please arrive on time
- The children have milk for snack and are asked to bring their own fruit (please make sure that grapes and olives are cut lengthways).
- We post pictures of what we are up to on Twitter, download the app and follow us if you haven't already!
- We use the Seesaw app to liaise with our parents, this is free to download and is a great way of communicating so please get it if you don't already.
- Your child will be given a reading book and reading diary that will come home so that you can read with them and let us know how they are getting on. In school they will read on this day each week and this is when books will be changed, but please ensure they bring their books to school every day.
- Learning Logs are sent home on a Friday. Please can these be returned by the following Wednesday?
Over the school year we will cover a variety of topics to develop our skills and knowledge and learn about lots of exciting things!
