It looks like the rain finally landed on our Arthog squad this morning… but it didn’t matter on the gorge walk!

Worship with Reverend Lucinda – Wisdom
Thank you to Reverend Lucinda for leading our whole school Worship today and introduced this month’s theme of ‘Wisdom’ as one of our school values.
Keep a look out as each class completes homework around this theme during the month of February.
Snow day ⛄️
Good morning Owls!
Well done for logging on and checking out Your online learning. Please spread the word for all the children in class to know this information is here.
Tasks
1. Go out and enjoy the snow! It might not be here for long, so go go go! Challenge: can you build an igloo? Who can build the tallest snowman? Enjoy!
2. Reading: Following on from our Picture News worship yesterday, Get reading. What is the strangest place you can find to read?! I’d love to see readers in their igloos!
3. Maths: Learn your timetables, use number Gym or TT Rockstars. Year 6 – You should all still have the maths practice book I gave you – spend some time working on new pages.
4. spellings / handwriting. On the spelling page of our class website, there are the spelling mats for year 3/4 and year 5/6. Spend time learning words, you did not know before.
5. Use the opportunity to spend time doing something in your Ponder Pages! Come up with your own piece of writing to complete throughout the day.
Remember, these are all just ideas for learning. Do what you can and please do not worry about the things you haven’t got done, although hopefully all these activities link into your usual weekly homework (except snow play 😆⛄️)
Have a great day and I will see you next week!

Hoodwinked! Christmas Production 2025
WOW! Owl Class put on an INCREDIBLE performance of Hoodwinked for their Christmas Production.
A huge thank you to all the staff involved with its production and thank you to all the friends and families of our school for their support on the day.
Finally, a massive well done to our brilliant children who blew us away with their acting skills, singing and dancing, plus their ability to learn so many words! What a show!
Owl Class Spellings Spring 2026
Please see below the lists of spellings we will be focusing on for our handwriting / homework tasks during Spring Term (but these may be carried out in a different order dependent on classwork).
Spelling Overview for Spring 2026
Here are the set lists from the National Curriculum to keep learning over the year (but they will also come up through our weekly task lists above):
“Hot Tests” take place on a Tuesday morning. New spellings will be sent out on Wednesday for learning at home.
Spring 2026
Homework is set on a Wednesday each week and is expected to be handed in the following Tuesday (which is when spelling tests take place – see Spelling link below for more detail). If you need help with homework, then just let staff know. Homework Club is available to Owl Class on Thursday lunchtimes.
Please make sure you record reading in your reading diaries at least 3 times per week; if you achieve 5 quality entries, you may earn Quality Marks.
Learning times tables is a part of homework every week – use Number Gym Table Trainer, TT Rockstars or your own methods to make sure you keep your multiplication knowledge fresh.
Author Visit Martin Howard
Owl Class had a fantastic visit this morning to Adcote School who hosted Martin Howard, author of Mallory Vayle and the Curse of Maggoty Skull.
The children had the opportunity to listen to Martin speak about his journey as an author then read a section from his new book.
Finally they had a Q&A session before being able to buy a signed copy of the book.
The visit was inspirational to our children as young writers: thank you to Adcote School and Martin Howard for a fantastic opportunity.
