Owls
This week, in History, the Owls have been learning about the Spanish Armada. We had a go at re-enacting it!
In PSHE, Year 3 and 4 worked on being good listeners. We looked at how difficult it was to have a conversation when we could not see the person or use our hands. We learnt to ask open questions to encourage the person to talk more and practised showing good listening behaviour.
In DT, the Owls are designing and making pavilions. So far, we have built the frame structures. This week, our adults will come in to help us add the cladding.
