Owls Class Yr 1/2

Welcome to Owls Class

 

We are a mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class.

Our teacher is Mrs Hood. 

 

Owls is a friendly, enthusiastic class who enjoy learning and love having a story at the end of the day.

Our classroom has changed over the summer ready for our new year together.  I will upload some pictures for you to see when I am next back in school so that you can have a look before Monday.

  

This year you will be doing more outdoor learning so make sure you always have a coat in school.

I have been finding some loose parts for our learning over the summer and hopefully you will be able to bring some in when you return.  Have a look at the picture below for inspiration.
