Welcome to Little Owls (FS2)
Autumn Term 2020
We are so excited to welcome all of the new FS2 children into our amazing school.
Starting school is a big change for everyone.
With this change comes a 'new hope' for all of the children.
We hope that they will amaze, achieve and aspire.

We will be reading books based around colours and autumn. Here are some of the books we will be focusing on:
