Westonbirt 🌳

| owlsatgastrells

The Owls had a fantastic time today at Westonbirt Arboretum! It was the first time the Owls had been on a coach as a class and a school trip together but they were amazing! They made the Owls team very proud! 🌟

At Westonbirt, the Owls were taken on a bear hunt! They followed all of the locations from “We’re going on a Bear Hunt”; we travelled through the swishy swashy grass, the splishy sloshy river and even the swirling whirling snowstorm! The Owls were then chased by a bear all the way home, luckily everyone made it back in one piece!

After lunch, the Owls went on a hunt for the Gruffalo! They searched high and low and found a mouse, a fox, a snake and an Owl and then finally we found the Gruffalo!

Here are the Owls proving that there is such thing as a Gruffalo…

Minibeast Play! 🐞🐜🕷🦋

The Owls worked incredibly hard last week to perform their Minibeast play! They all looked fantastic in their costumes too! They all remembered their lines and their singing was beautiful!

The Owls helped a lot to create the play, they created all their own parts and edited well known nursery rhymes to be their very own! It was fantastic to have them lead the show!

Well done Owls, you are all superstars! 🌟

Superhero Day! 🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏽‍♂️

| owlsatgastrells

This term the Owls have been reading the story “Superworm” by Julia Donaldson, they have then made up their own superheroes and created little adventure stories based on their characters!

There were a range of characters from Catman to Super-Ostrich and all of the Owls used their imagination to think about the types of adventures their superheroes would go on, some of these adventures ended happily ever after, but not all of them did!

For the last day of term, the Owls had a superhero day and it was fantastic to see the children dressed up as some of their own superheroes! The Owls even showed off their superhero skills, look at them fly!

Spring Walk 🌸🌼

Before the end of the Spring Term, the Owls went for a Spring Walk to try and find some signs of Spring! We found buds on the trees, seedlings sprouting out of the ground, some beautiful daffodils and blossom too!

We had a fantastic time and enjoyed becoming spring hunters!

Welcome Back & Forest School!

It was so lovely to have the Owls back in school today! They had a lovely day and enjoyed spending lots of time playing with their friends in the play garden as well as during forest school!

At forest school, the Owls had the chance to explore the area again and they were even lucky enough to cook some jam on toast! A fantastic day had by all! 🌟

Wind Chimes 🎵

| owlsatgastrells

This week the Owls have been making a weather chart! We have been checking to see what the weather is like each day and today we decided to make some wind chimes! Have a look at the wind chimes that the children in school and at home have been making, they are all incredibly unique and fantastic!

Help Us Find Lanky Len and Hefty Hugh! 🐄

| owlsatgastrells

This week the Owls have been looking at the story “What the Ladybird Heard” by Julia Donaldson, however on Friday we found out that Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len had escaped from prison and were off to try and steal the fine prize cow again!!

The Owls have been working incredibly hard to create their own wanted posters to track down Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len and we think it is important that you see our posters so that you know if you spot these criminals!

Toy Shops! 🧸

| owlsatgastrells

This week the Owls have had a challenge to create their own toy shops! Through this they have worked on their communication and language skills through explaining the products and working with one another to create the shop! They have also been working on their maths skills, through writing price tags, paying for items and some children have even been working out the change to give!

Have a look at these impressive shops and choose which shop you’d like to go to! 🌟

Forest School 🌳

| owlsatgastrells

The Owls have been absolutely loving Forest School! They have had a great time exploring their outdoor environment, learning about their surroundings as well as chilling out on the hammocks!

Mr Meadows has even shown the Owls how to cook popcorn on the fire as well as toasting toffee apples!

Some of our cheeky dinosaurs have also been hiding out at forest school and we have had a lot of fun searching the woods for them!
