Owl Visit
Today we had a very special visit from North Somerset Birds of Prey who brought in four owls to share with us.
We got to meet Dotty, the small owl who is one of the smallest owls in the country, as well as Hercules the European Eagle Owl.
We also met Inca the Barn Owl and Cerberus the Tawny Owl. We were amazed to learn that Barn Owls do not have waterproof feathers and that Tawny Owls are the only owls that make the iconic ‘Twit-twoo’ sound.
We learnt so much about owls and will be using what we have learned as a starting point to research and write our own non-chronological reports. We also experienced excellent presentation skills first hand and used these to help us to present our own owl facts to the class, thinking carefully about our class rules for oracy (speaking and listening).

Rainforest Collages
Tawny Owl and Barn Owl have created these beautiful A2 collages inspired by the artist Jeannie Baker. The children worked in groups to plan and create their collages using recycled or repurposed materials.

Cards for the Coronation!
Today the children in Year 4 created cards to send to King Charles and Queen Camilla to congratulate them on their coronation. I think you'll agree they look amazing.
Tudor Henry VIII Cad Character Visit: March 2023
As part of our history learning, Year 4 had a visit from a time traveling Tudor courtier, Jed. This interactive workshop brought the story of Henry VIII and his six wives alive (until they were either divorced, beheaded or died) to the children.
It was noted from Mr Harry Cadwallader that 'I was really impressed with their engagement in the learning and great sense of fun.'
Please see some photographs and videos below of this wonderful experience:
