Last week in Science, Owls investigated the relationship between the distance of a torch from an object and the subsequent size of the shadow. Using their knowledge of how light travels, Owls came up with some fantastic ideas and conclusions.

Y3-6 Athletics at The Corbet
Another terrific event at the Corbet today. Our KS2 students represented the school brilliantly. We look forward to finding out the final results!
Owl Class – STEM Day
Last Friday, Owls put their STEM hats on as they were tasked with designing, making and testing gliders. The workshop also allowed them to design suitable aircrafts for the future. There was lots of thinking and hard work that went into this. Well done everyone!
Computing – Owls
In our computing unit this term, owls have been learning how to control variables within a computer game. We use a software called Scratch which allows you to code variables into a game. Owls began today’s lesson by showing their understanding of how numbers and items work together and must both be inputted in order for the variables to work.
Owl Class Book publication – The Magical Map
A few months ago, Owls completed a 100 word story using their own imagination. They were told that there is a chance their stories will be chosen for publication into the book named ‘The Magical Map’. This week, we received some fantastic news. It was decided that lots of the pieces have been chosen to be published! Letters have gone home to parents to explain further details, but if anyone has any other questions then please speak to Mr Arthur directly or via the school.
We celebrated the news by handing the certificates out as well as some bookmarks and stickers. Brilliant work everyone!
Owls – Shropshire Landscapes
To begin our art unit for this term, and to round off a brilliant first week back of 2025, Owls have started to practice sketching some landscapes of their choice around Shropshire from a range of samples.

Owl Class visit to Shropshire Hills
Owl Class had a great time at Shropshire Hills on Friday. This time, the visit was centred around ‘Thinking Like Darwin’. The children understood how fossils were discovered, and got to make their own. They also learnt how different birds’ beaks suit different foods, therefore the more dominant species survived. We looked at the mammoth in the exhibition and Owls demonstrated great knowledge to share how they understood that elephants have evolved from them. Overall, the class were well behaved but showed lots of enthusiasm too.
Owls Experience Advent workshop
Yesterday, Owl Class went to church for a Y5/6 workshop centred around Advent and the meaning behind it. The children listened so well and learnt lots, and were incredibly respectful to all the church helpers. Well done Owls!
Owl Class No Pens Day 2024
We have had such a lovely day in Owl Class taking part in No Pens Day. The day is centred around Speech and Language UK, who raise awareness for children who experience difficulties with spoken language, communication and listening. The day has consisted of lots of communication games, tasks without being able to speak and a huge show and tell in the afternoon. Owls responded so well to the activities, showing a brilliant understanding of the importance of different types of communication. Well done everyone!
