La Lechuza is our Margaret White room mascot. La Lechuza, means “The Owl” in Spanish. This little owl likes to get to know every one of our children and their families a little bit better, so each weekend she joins the children and their families on the weekend adventures!
The children take it in turns to have their special visits. Each week a family is invited to take La Lechuza home where she spends a special weekend with one of the children. There is a special book where we document all the fun things the children and their families do together so that the children can share their experiences with their friends.
Having a room mascot is a great way to build community and diversity, bringing families into the classroom, extending on children’s learning and supporting a sense of belonging.
