Owls Class Yr 1/2

Welcome to Owls Class

 

We are a mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class.

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

Our class room has a wonderful role play area linked to our topic, a comfy reading area with some new reading buddies and a developing outdoor area.

 

Our teacher is Mrs Hood.
