Updates:

Owl class are working really hard in our fine motor sessions. We are focusing on developing our arm, hand and finger awareness especially our grips – to do this we have been practising using scissors and glue to create pictures. With the frosty cold weather recently, we decided to dress our snowmen! We chose our hats, scarfs, eyes, nose & mouths and helped the adults to cut & stick these in the correct places. We are very proud of our pictures and worked really hard. Well done Owl class 🙂

Owl class have got involved in maths week by making cookies! In our sensory cooking session, we followed a sequencing strip to make our cookies, we weighed the ingredients, mixed together, kneaded and rolled the mixture and at the end we counted the chocolates to put on top and worked on recognising the numbers 1-3. Owl class worked very hard and will enjoy the cookies as a treat snack 🙂 well done owl class!

Owl class are enjoying our outdoor learning sessions this term! We are focusing on exploring natural materials, and looking at our reactions to different changes in the weather. This week we explored ice that had been frozen with the leaves, twigs and grass we had collected last week. We loved exploring the ice as it melted and commented on how cold it was! Well done owl class 🙂

Owl class have enjoyed getting messy and exploring different foods and textures this week! We made salt dough & mince pies getting us into the Christmas spirit. We helped pour the ingredient, mix, scoop and roll ! we all enjoyed trying the tasty mince pies after too. Well done Owl class 🙂

Owl class loved our sensory cooking session recently, making our own pizzas! We chopped our peppers working on our cutting skills and spread the pizza sauce on the wrap. We enjoyed sprinkling the cheese on top and after the adults cooked the pizzas we all enjoyed them as our tasty snack. Well done owl class 🙂

Owl class love our weekly sensory cooking sessions – this week we made our own ginger bread. We all took it in turns to help pour & mix so the ingredients became our dough, we then explored the mixture with our hands copying adults by poking & splatting! We rolled the mixture & used star and circle cutters to make shapes – we was exited for the ginger bread biscuits to be cooked ready for our snack. Well done owl class 🙂

Owl class loved our fine motor session making playdough! We all helped put the ingredients together & warmed our fingers up for a dough disco session by poking and kneading the dough. Once we had explored the dough, we loved following directions to poke, roll and splat the dough. Great work Owl class 🙂

Owl Class has worked hard during the first week back, exploring different emotions and practicing emotional regulation.
We used pictures representing four different emotions and painted them with matching colors. Using our Zones of Regulation symbols and PODD mats, the children shared with the adults how they were feeling.
