Happy Friday!

Let's start our day together!

Let's find out more about owls!

We've enjoyed learning the story of Owl Babies. It has made me want to find out more about real owls! I wonder what owls like to eat? How do they catch their food? Why do they have such big eyes? Shall we read an information book all about owls? Listen carefully as I'm going to give you a quiz at the end to see what you have learnt?

An Owl Quiz

Let's see how much we know about owls now that we have read our information book!

• When do owls sleep?
• What's the name for animals that are awake at night time?
• Where do owls make their nests?
• Why do owls have soft feather on their wings?
• Why do you think owls have big eyes and keen ears?
• What do owls use their talons for?
• What do owls eat?
• What do baby owls hatch from?

Don't worry if you can't remember all of these facts - you can always listen to the book again!

Busy Fingers

Whilst you are at home keep practising writing your name every day, even if it's just the first letter that you are learning to write! Keep your fingers busy by drawing, cutting and sticking, making models with blocks, duplo and play dough. Here's a simple recipe for play dough that you could make with your grown up!

Have a lovely weekend everybody. Be kind, keep safe and have fun!
