Welcome to Owlets R

It is time to start Barden Primary School.   We are so looking forward to teaching you and having wonderful adventures together in Owlets class!

In our first few weeks at school the children will be settling in and learning different routines.  We will be talking about how to respect school and keep safe around school.  We will be teaching the children how learn with the resources in the indoor and outdoor environment.  They will be making lots of new friends. 

Superheroes!

Our topic this half term is ‘Superheroes.’  We will be thinking about what special super powers we might have and investigating our super senses.  We will talk about caring for others.  We will be answering the learning challenge questions – Are we all the same?  What do I look like?  What do my body parts do?  When is my birthday?  Who is in my superhero family?  We might even have a superhero visit!!

Our focus books we will be sharing together will be - 

In the first few weeks we will be assessing the children in all areas of the Early Years curriculum - through informal observation and using the DfE baseline assessment.   Once the children are settled in, a 'normal' day will be - 

Every morning we have fun with Fred Frog practising and learning new sounds and words in the Read Write Inc sessions. With our Super Sonic listening skills we will be - Tuning in to sounds, listening and remembering sounds and talking about sounds.  Our superheroes will be taught to say and recognise initial letters sounds of words.

Following this we have communication time,, when we listen to a story and answer questions about it.  We have Magic Maths, learning new mathematical knowledge in a fun way followed by book time and writing.   In the afternoon we have story time, rhyme time and Vocab Ninja! Each afternoon has a different focus - Re, Music, Woodland Adventures, P.E. Circle Time, Dance, Drawing Club, Our Wonderful World, Healthy Heroes, Create and Imagine and lots more!  Finishing off the day with Key Person time, where children have a chance to chat, have a healthy snack and to review the day's learning.  We learn in our inside and outside classroom in all weathers!

PE Day - Every Thursday - We are focusing on functional motor skills in our PE lessons.  Running, jumping, hopping, throwing and catching.  We talk about the changes that happen to our bodies when we do exercise.

Outside Adventures - Every Friday - We like to investigate the environment around us including the woodland area on campus and our local environment.
