In Owl Class we love to challenge ourselves, try new things and work hard to build strong relationships with friends and our teachers, as we settle into life at school. Although we have many exciting things planned for each term, the children guide their own learning, bringing a vast amount of knowledge, experiences and interests with them. We want every child to be curious, love to learn and be prepared for their journey through primary school.
This term we are using the topic 'Into the night sky' as a starting point to inspire our learning; we will find out about nocturnal animals, stars and planets and go on our own adventures through the books we share.

Reading
At Randwick we are passionate about reading and fostering a love for the adventures on which our books will take us. We begin our reading journey as soon as we start at school, learning phonics, sharing books in school and with our families. Fuzzy, our reading bear, loves to come home with us bringing a book from our class library with him to share the magic of reading beyond the classroom.
Owl class love to look back at all their previous learning on Tapestry and talk about how much they have learned and discovered so far this year.
