Our focus book this week is One snowy night by Nick Butterworth. We have all enjoyed independently writing the beginning of the story and focusing on remembering to use capital letters at the start and full stops at the end of our sentences.

In maths we have been using number tracks to solve subtraction problems. Then we have been using part, part, whole models to really understand the problems to strengthen our understanding of number.

In science we have been looking at seasonal change. We loved learning about deciduous and evergreen trees over the past weeks and this week we learnt how animals are affected by the seasons. Looking at bird migration and hibernation, it was fascinating!

We had to work together as a team to programme the mouse bot with a sequence of instructions using Logo - a computer language. We had to move the mouse from the starting point to find the cheese, it was lots of fun.

Owl Class have had the best time at Forest School! We used a bow saw to cut wood into disks, then we drilled a hole in the disk to make our beautiful Christmas decorations. We have been playing in the digging pit, exploring, den building and dragging our friends around on a sledge. Finishing with a warming hot chocolate, delicious!
