English 25-9-19
Our English story this week was 'The Owl who was afraid of the Dark' A story about a young Barn Owl who initially was indeed afraid of the dark. Surprising for the children today was the discovery that Barn Owls do not hoot, they screech, as the link below proves!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwG15rXTdCI
