Last week’s Pride of Plover was a huge one! The stories we heard of personal resilience and overcoming challenges were inspiring. It was great to see how we all make progress in different ways and at different paces but that working hard is always the key. Well done to everyone for showing us what it takes to be our Pride of Plover.

We had a fantastic sports day this afternoon! The class were superstars, showing real sportsmanship to each other and great resilience! I am so proud of them all!
This week KS1 had a very special guest come to visit us. Captain Adrian Bagnall is a retired Pilot with more than 3 decades of experience flying all over the world with British Airways. He talked about his journey to becoming a pilot and some of his experiences. He showed us lots of photographs and videos from his time of being a pilot. The children asked some fantastic questions which really showcased how much they have learned and enjoyed our current expedition.
Today we visited the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington! We had learned a lot about the early advances of flight and we impressed our guides with our previous knowledge! We learned about some local Yorkshire heroes in the aviation industry such as Amy Johnson (our very own Amelia Earhart) and Sir George Cayley. We have seen and sat on some very cool planes.

A big WELL DONE to Henry, Amelia, Ariana, Rishaa, Georgia and Vinnie! They worked so hard to create beautifully presented letters to send around the world as part of our final product.
In Year 1 this week, as part of our case study of The Vikings, we learnt that a sculpture is a 3D piece of artwork, that could be made of anything! We took this knowledge and had a go at making our own Viking longships… out of pasta and marshmallows! As tempting as it was to eat the yummy marshmallows, we resisted and used them as glue for our spaghetti structures. Once we figured out the shape, we had the difficult challenge of working out how to make them 3D. We were resilient and used our problem solving skills to recognise that more spaghetti in one place made it stronger, and we got very creative with our dragon heads for the front of the ships!
