Welcome to Owlets Class!
I am Mrs Wilcox, and I teach Owlets class, which is made up of a mixed group of Reception and Year One children. I am very lucky to be supported by our fantastic teaching assistants, Mrs Hicks and Miss O'Brien. Children in Owlets Class are curious, enthusiastic learners who love exploring and discovering new things.
Our Reception children’s learning and development is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, while our Year One children follow the National Curriculum. Through a balance of play, exploration and purposeful learning experiences, we encourage the children to follow their interests, develop their independence and build confidence as learners. We recognise that every child is unique, and we work hard to support their individual needs, celebrate their achievements and help them reach their full potential.

Phonics
Owlets love phonics!
In Owlets we have Phonics lessons everyday, during these lessons we learn the sounds that letters (and combinations of letters) make. We develop our skills in blending sounds to read words, and segmenting words into sounds to spell them accurately. We also learn about 'tricky words' (such as, the, was, he, to) that do not follow the phonetic code. Once the children have mastered words, they quickly move on to reading and writing sentences.
