Year 3 had a visit from a very special visitor today, Olive the barn owl. She came with her friends Bob and Alistair (Hunter and Minnie's grandpa) who are both volunteers for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Olive was found on Staveley Nature Reserve around 6 weeks ago, cold and wet and very poorly. Olive was rescued by Bob and he has nursed her to the point of releasing her back into the wild, fit and well in the next week or so. Olive was absolutely beautiful and very well behaved!

We really enjoyed performing our class assembly this week. We are so proud of ourselves for sharing our learning in such a confident and grown up way!

We investigated which materials reflected the light from a light source. We had to use our findings to find a suitable material for a reflective strip on our book bags
