Welcome to The Outstanding Owls class!

Class Information

P.E. Lessons

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

Homework

Spellings

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

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 bring the books into school every Monday.

Times Tables

We have a times tables test every Monday alongside the spelling test. Please practice the 2 x, 5 x and 10 x tables with your child. This now also includes division of 2’s 5’s and 10’s.

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. 

Term 1 2024-2025
Magnificent Monarchs

This project teaches your child about the English and British monarchy from AD 871 to the present day. Using timelines, information about royal palaces, portraits and other historical sources, they will build up an understanding of the monarchs and then research six of the most significant sovereigns.

Term 1 - 2023-2024
Towers, Tunnels and Turrets

See the castle ahead? Get ready to invade its mighty walls. Shoot a projectile with an archer’s aim. Head across the drawbridge, over the moat and up to the top of the tower. Meet Rapunzel who lives in a tall, tall tower. Let’s build a brand new one. Whose is the tallest? Can you measure it? Then dig deep, deep down, making burrows and tunnels, just like the animals who live underground. What’s that sound? I hear little hooves going trip, trap, trip, trap, over the rickety bridge. Watch out for the angry troll underneath. He likes to gobble up little girls and boys. Make sure your bridge is sturdy enough to take our weight and get us safely to the other side. And finally, meet three little pigs who need your help to build a strong fortress. Inside its strong walls, they’ll be safe from the big, bad wolf. No huffing and puffing will blow your fortress down.

Fire Safety Workshop with Lincolnshire Stay Safe Partnership

Term 2 2023-2024
Mud, Mess and Mixtures

Let’s get messy. Muck and mess are good. In fact, they're marvellous. Dive in and get your hands and feet all sticky and covered in paint. Play with liquids, squish some dough and check out the slushiest and mushiest foods. Pour, mix, stir, splat. How does it feel to get your hands covered in goo? Make a wobbly jelly and draw with wibbly clay. Write recipes, instructions, riddles and poems – there are loads of scrummy words to describe messy mixtures. Work with paint and other squelchy stuff to create a new gallery space. What will you make? How will you arrange it? How will the gallery make you and your visitors feel? Don’t worry about the mess – it’ll always wash.

What a fantastic WOW day the children had. A great start to their new topic.

The children learned how to stay safe during our Internet Safety Workshop.

Term 5 - Coastlines

In the Coastline project, your child will use maps to learn about the location of the world’s seas and oceans and keys to learn about map symbols. They will also find out about the directions on a compass. They will learn about the human and physical features of a coastline, including the effects of erosion and how to stay safe when visiting the coast. They will have the opportunity to learn about the work of the RNLI, what happened to the SS Rohilla and about the coastal town of Whitby, including how Captain Cook is linked to the town. They will research the tourism industry and consider what features make a place a successful tourist destination.
