About Tawny Owls
Hello! I'm Miss T (Miss Tombling), the teacher for Tawny Owls class at Hullavington.
Tawny Owls is a fantastic class made up of year 2s and year 3s.
In Tawny Owls, we hold teamwork, respect, communication and perseverance at the heart of everything we do!
Alongside teaching Tawny Owls, I am also a 4th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon-Do who competes regionally, nationally and internationally. I gained my fully qualified instructor status at the age of 18 when I took on the role of teaching children aged 3-12 through a holistic approach in order to improve their confidence, team work, respect and perseverence.
In Tawny Owls, we previously used a 3×3 homework grid where children could choose three or more tasks to complete by the end of the term. As the curriculum content has increased and learning is becoming more challenging, I am changing the homework format to better support the children. Each week, children will now receive two pieces of physical homework: one English and one Maths. These tasks will link to either current learning or revisit past learning to help reinforce key skills and support long-term recall. Homework can be completed independently or with the support of an adult, which is encouraged where helpful.
Homework (along with spellings) will be set on a Thursday and should be handed in by the following Thursday, although it may be returned earlier if completed.
Spellings will be stuck into reading records on a Thursday/Friday and tested the following Thursday.
Year 2s and Year 3s will receive different sets of spellings each week with interventions throughout the week if needed.
PE: Our PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays. Children must come into school wearing the appropriate PE kit
Term 3 Forest School: Due to the weather, there will be no forest school in Term 3.
