Well this isn't the start to 2021 that we all wanted, however I've been so impressed with the children who have been working at home. They have been so committed to their learning and the quality of their work has been outstanding. It's not the easiest situation but all the children are making the most of it and working with a smile, which is lovely to see! Here are some examples of this week's super work from home.

We've had a visitor this week of the naughty kind! Snowball the Elf has been causing mischief in Owls Class - this morning we came in to see him making a snow angel on the carpet!

To enrich our history topic about The Great Fire of London we welcomed FireFighter Sutton today. Owls enjoyed watching how the fire spread quickly because the houses were so close together. It really brought the event to life, with the smell and sight of smoke and flames. We also learnt about the equipment used by the fire service such as a hook which is still used today.

This week in reading, we have been learning new vocabulary from a story we have been reading: Vlad and The Great Fire of London. We looked at 'encouraged', 'collapsed', 'explode' and 'blaze'. We learnt the definition and put them into sentences. Then we filmed in front of the green screen. Head over to Seesaw to see the videos!

Owls - Performing a news broadcast
Date: 27th Nov 2020 @ 9:35am
This week we have been looking at news broadcasts and what they include. We have watched some examples and looked at how the presenters state the news. We then had a go at a broadcast ourselves. We made sure that we emphasised the headline and took it in turn to read each paragraph with expression and intonation.
