Welcome to Owls Class
Curriculum Newsletters 2023 - 24
In maths, we have been looking at number: counting and quantities. We have explored in many ways counting to 5 and beyond! Some of us enjoyed finding the different coloured bears in the orbeez and could say which had 'more'. Others enjoyed singing along to some number songs, whilst counting and practicing fine motor skills, placing the correct amount of pom-poms into the corresponding number cups. What a fabulous week we've had!
In English, we explored a non-fiction text all about stone age food linked to our topic. Some of the children explored the food people in the stone age would hunt, eat and gather and others made a plate of food for a 'hunter gatherer'. We had lots of fun!
