Our Reception pupils had their Owl Babies story bought to live this week when they had the chance to meet Nelly The Barn Owl. Nelly quickly made herself at home, swooping up and down the hall without making a sound. At one point she felt the need to get a better view and soared up to the light fittings to find a new perch.

During the show, the children got to learn lots of amazing facts about owls...
- their feathers are not waterproof, so if they get wet they aren't able to fly
- the Barn Owl's heart shaped face is designed to help it collect sounds - it can hear the heart beat of a mouse!
- they use one of their talons like a comb to keep their face groomed
Nelly was beautiful and her feathers were so soft. Even when she flapped her wings she didn't make a sound!

Now that the children have met the owls for real, their artwork and story telling will be amazing!
