Reception class has had a special visitor - an owl! The children were so excited to see the owl up close. It was a beautiful bird with big, round eyes and soft, brown and white feathers. The owl’s handler told the children about where owls live, what they like to eat, and how they hunt for food at night using their sharp eyesight. The owl even spread its wings, and everyone was amazed at how wide they were. The children learned that owls can fly very quietly, which helps them catch their prey. It was such a fun and interesting visit, and everyone got to ask questions and learn lots of new facts about owls!

We carefully watched the eggs and were very excited when they started to hatch. Once all 10 chicks had hatched Mrs Heywood moved them to the brooder box where we were able to observe and hold them.
