Welcome to Owls 

Summer 1 update:

Owls class have taken to the learning in Summer 1 about the Victorian seaside with interest and enthusiasm! We have been learning about how the seaside holidays have changed over time, comparing the past to the present day. 

We have explored texture and colour using pastels, inspired by Monet, finishing in a final piece inspired by the painting The Beach at Sainte-Adresse. 

The Owls enjoyed their trip to Blenheim, and listened very well to our guide, who gave a detailed tour of the palace paintings and rooms. 

We also enjoyed a class treat of a 'teddy bear day'. As a reward for earning all their class marbles in the jar, we were allowed to bring a teddy to school. They even joined in with some of our learning! 

We look forward to continuing our learning on Victorians next term, and a focus on the British coastline in our Geography topic.

Welcome back Year 1 to the Spring term! We have lots of exciting things planned this term. Please see our topic web below:
