Owls

We had a visit from some very special friends in Reception - this is the letter we received at school.

We all got very excited when we listen to what would be happening on the visit day.

We spent a full day learning all about owls. We looked at a PowerPoint, made masks, finger puppets, coloured in owls, sang some owl songs, listened to some owl stories, looked at some non-fiction books, made some owls that fly, even our number work was based on owls!

LITTLE OWL
Tune: "This Old Man"

Little Owl, in the tree,
He is winking down at me.
With a wink, wink, wink, wink,
All through the night,
Little Owl is quite a site!

Little Owl, in the tree,
He is hooting down at me.
With a hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot,
All through the night,
Little Owl is quite a site!

LATE AT NIGHT
Tune: "Frere Jacques"

Late at night,
Late at night,
Who, who, who,
Who, who, who.
I can hear the owls call
Way up in the trees so tall,
Who, who, who,
Who, who, who!

IF YOU WANT TO BE AN OWL
Tune: "If You're Happy And You Know It"

If you want to be an owl, shout - Who! Who!
If you want to be an owl, shout - Who! Who!
Then you get to sleep all day
And at night you get to play.
If you want to be an owl, shout - Who! Who!

OWL IN THE OAK TREE
Tune: "Skip to My Lou"

Owl in the oak tree - big and strong.
Owl in the oak tree - sings his song.
Owl in the oak tree - all night long.
"Who, who, who" - come sing along.

"Who, who, who" - me and you.
"Who, who, who" - what will we do?
"Who, who, who" -all night through.
Singing our song - who, who, who!

GRAY OWL
Gray owl, gray owl out at night.
Gray owl flying out of sight.
Gray owl hunting for a bite.
Gray owl hooting with delight!

We sat beautifully and listened to Norah tell us all about the animals she had brought into Reception for us to learn about.

Some of us got the chance to stroke Biggles the barn owl, some of us chose not to and said 'no thank you'. She was very soft to touch.

We had a great time learning all about owls - here is a our owl display with some of our lovely work on it.
