Owl Song

I know that all you think owls are cool, today you’re gonna learn more here at school.

So here’s some owl facts that you may not know, you can take them with you wherever you go.

WHOOOO oooo who wants to learn about owls                    WE DO!  (x2)

Owls they can hear from a long way away, so you don’t have to shout they can hear what you say.

They can spin their heads almost all the way around, without it popping off and falling on the ground.

WHOOOO oooo who wants to learn about owls                    WE DO! (x2)

They have sharp talons to snatch up their food, then they’ll hack up a pellet and it’s not even rude!

If you look at the pellet you may find, what an owl’s digestive system leaves behind.

WHOOOO oooo ooooooooooo   WHOOOO oooo ooooooooooo

Owls don’t care if there isn’t any light, they have special eyes that can see at night.

When the sun goes down they wake up instead, and when the sun comes up they go to bed.

Their feathers are so quiet they barely make a sound, it helps them sneak up on creatures crawling on the ground.

Learning about owls is really, really fun, now you can share your knowledge with everyone.

In the coming spring and summer term, we are going to begin to teach your child to play the recorder and deliver their music skills through various linked activities. They will require their own recorder that will need to be named and kept in their bag ready for their lesson and any other opportunities we get to practise.

We would be very grateful if you could purchase your child’s own recorder. No particular make or brand is necessary but we are aware that you can buy them for £2 at djmmusic.com and amazon.co.uk. Please contact us if you have any concerns and questions.

Thank you in advance for your support,

Year 2 teachers.
