Little Owls listened to ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong in their RE lesson. Thry spoke about what in the world makes them say ‘WOW’. With ideas of hailstone, rock pools and the trees. They then went outside to take in our world. They lay down in silence and used their senses and listened to the sounds of the windy trees, birds singing, they smelt the grass and leaves and felt trees. They observed clouds moving and the calm this brings. 💜
