The children have been listening to and learning the story of Owl Babies by Martin Waddell this week. It is part of our new topic called ‘Enchanted Woods’. We are learning to empathise with the characters, to identify their emotions and use that language to explore the story further. After that we will be using the story as a model for writing our own version. The childen are really enjoying joining in with telling the story, using their story maps to help them.

We have also been discussing the four seasons and finding out whether they are Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer babies!
