Welcome to The Outstanding Owls Class!

Welcome to The Outstanding Owls class!

This page will give you some key information about our class and show you some of the amazing learning that takes place. You will also find useful information and links to help support your child at home.  

Our Outstanding Owls are taught by Mrs Gowrley & Mrs Short.

Class Information

P.E. Lessons

We have our P.E. lessons on Monday and Friday. Please come to school in your PE kit on these days.

Homework

Spellings

We write new spellings into our Homework books on Fridays (and I will post them on this page) for you to practise at home for a spelling test the following Friday. 

Children are to choose 5 of the new spellings and put these into sentences in their homework book. 

The children must write their own sentences and not copy from an adult. Please use a pencil and concentrate on neat handwriting, capital letters and full stops.

Please return homework books by the following Thursday so I can mark these ready for Friday's lesson.

Times Tables

We have a times tables test every Friday alongside the spelling test. Please practice the 2 x, 5 x and 10 x tables with your child (there are resources on Education City and TTRockstars).

Reading

It is really important to read for pleasure regularly at home. Please read the book that you take home from school as well as the books you have at home too. Try to read for a few minutes every day. All children also have books uploaded on Bug Club (Active Learn).

Education City, TTRockstars and Purple Mash

Children have English and Maths homework regularly set on Education City. This is always linked to the current topics we are learning about in class. Times tables are also set each week on TTRockstars and there are also activities and tasks on Purple Mash, which we use for our Computing Curriculum.

Our new topic is Scented Garden

Tiptoe through the tulips as your senses discover the blooming foliage and enchanting fragrances of flowers and herbs. Round and round the mulberry bush we go, planting bulbs and seeds, and then watch them grow beneath sunshine and showers. Explore the astounding world of the scented garden, but be careful, there are some wild and dangerous plants out there that do astonishing things. Don't touch them. Use the marvellous properties of plants, flowers and herbs to make an exceptional gift for somebody special. Everything is coming up roses. Why not grow your own?
