This week, we are reading Perfectly Norman and thinking about how we are perfectly ourselves.
Today, we made our own wings.
Our rhyme of the week is…….

Home Learning
What a fantastic start to the Autumn term! The children have settled into their new class at Holbeach brilliantly. Already they are making friends and engaging with all the activities on offer!
Please can parents work with their child to complete the activities which were set over the summer holidays. All children were given a pack with their new book bag. Children need to continue to practise writing their name and using scissors (with parental supervision).
Owl Babies
This week we have been sharing the story Owl Babies by Martin Waddel. We learnt that owls are ‘nocturnal’ and baby owls are called ‘owlets’. We talked about different homes for woodland animals. We gathered materials and created owl homes. We discussed how owls and other birds would build their nests high in trees to protect against predators.
2L at The Horniman Museum
We went to the Horniman Museum for a workshop on our topic this term: Toys.
We got to play with toys from all over the world which were made from a wide range of materials – including old flip-flops!
And a dried up apple!
After lunch we looked at the stuffed animals on display and drew them in our sketchbooks.

Author Focus
A huge thank you to all the children who produced beautiful fact files on our author focus, Onjali Q. Rauf. They have helped form our reading display board and we were able to share some of these in class this week.
Guess Who!
In art we have been focusing on Medusa! To begin our topic, we developed our understanding of line drawings and produced these stunning (!) self-portraits. Can you spot any familiar Holbeach faces?
