Yesterday we were very lucky to have Archie’s Granda and Uncle visit us in school today with their owls.  We learnt lots about them all and got to stroke them.  Some of the facts we learned were:

*owls can turn their heads 270 degrees

*if they have black owls they hunt at night

*if they have orange/pale eyes they hunt in the twilight

*they eat mice

One of our favourites was Skippy who came from Australia as he kissed our fingers.  But the best bit was when Archie’s Barn Owl, Stealy, flew over us.

It was a great afternoon and very exciting.  A huge thank you.
