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.

This week, Year 2 have been learning the difference between volume and capacity in Maths. We have learnt about the different units of measurement that are used to measure liquid and which can be used to measure larger or smaller amounts. We then used a range of different containers and worked collaboratively to try and order them in order from the largest capacity to the smallest. We soon worked out the a tall container doesn’t mean a larger capacity ! Great work Year 2!
This week, Year 2 have said a sad goodbye to our 5 visiting teachers; Miss Studd, Miss Haine, Miss Alexander, Miss Rathbone and Miss Menzies. They have worked with us for many periods of time throughout the school year and have just finished their final time with us. They have offered help, support and brilliant lessons to all of the children in year 2 and have really learnt about what makes our Plover community so special. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the children in our school!
Year 2 have had a brilliant day learning about the history of flight. We enjoyed looking at planes, learning about jet engines and making our own helicopters. We came face to face with models of the Wright Flier, Halifax bombers, Hurricanes and Spitfires. We saw parts from Concorde and found out about a pioneering pilot called Amy Johnson.
We had a wonderful time in the sunshine and we’re sure Year 1 are going to have a great time too.
We’d like to thank the staff at the Air Museum for a great day and thank the children for their brilliant behaviour.

In 2L the children have been looking at the work of artist Peter Thorpe. Peter Thorpe created artwork inspired by outer space and used bold, bright colours to bring his imagination to life. The children used painting and pastel techniques to create these beautiful pieces of artwork. They worked really hard and their artwork is fantastic. What do you think?

2P have been learning about the Vikings as part of our Expedition and we used our artistic skills to create a paper sculpture of a Viking Longboat. It was extremely challenging and we had to use great teamwork, communication, resilience and perseverance. In the end, we got there and did a fabulous job! Well done 2P!

2P has been learning all about the Space artwork produced by the artist Peter Thorpe. We used this inspiration to create our own pieces of artwork where we painted with everything EXCEPT a paintbrush! We used sponges, card and combs to produce the overall effect of a rocket in space. We think they look amazing!

Well done to our host of Pride of Plover winners this week. There was a clear theme of growing independence and determination to improve. It was brilliant to hear how you all showed different examples of the Plover Pledge to make sure that your work was always the best it could be. Well done!
