He has illustrated and written many wonderful books, and we are going to read and explore them all!

Each term, Owl Class read a chapter book alongside our author books, and any other story we choose to enjoy!
In Term 1 and 2, we will be reading through the Rabbit and Bear series by Julian Gough.
This term, we will be exploring the work of Vincent Van Gogh and Freida Kahlo to create our own self-portraits.

Pupils in Year 1 and 2 are expected to complete reading 5 times a week, and they are given Purple Home Learning books to practise age-appropriate spellings and Maths facts.
Please see the documents below for your termly home learning work. Remember to also use Numbots to practise your Maths facts!
Term 2
Term 1
We’ve settled really well coming back this September! We are fully back into the swing of school life; learning how to work together as a class and how to persevere with our learning more independently.
Well done Owl Class!
Our story this term is “The Magic Brush”. We have learnt the story, explored it through drama and now we are learning how to write our own magical ‘wishing tale’.
In RE, we have been exploring The Creation Story in Christianity and Judaism. We’ve been discussing our wonderful world and how we can do our part to look after it.
We had a fantastic trip to Salisbury Cathedral! We went on a tour and learnt about the History of the building, and looked at the amazing stained-glass windows. We took part in a Drama workshop and learnt about how the Cathedral moved from Old Sarum to where it currently is. We also created our own stained-glass window art! It was a brilliant day!
Katie came to talk to use about Harvest Festival. We talked about all the work that farmers do during this time, and how thankful we are for our world and the wonderful food we get to eat.
