Year 3 have been working really hard on ‘time’ just recently. We’ve grappled with everything from reading and writing Roman numerals; to telling and drawing the time to the exact minute on a clock face and on a digital device.
Everyone has worked so hard to get better at telling the time, but many of us still need to get better at it. Please keep asking your children what the time is at home to support them with their learning in school.
Thank you

Today, we were so pleased to welcome volunteers from Amazon into our school for our first Young Readers event.
The volunteers shared a quiz and a story with the children and then challenged them the create their very own Superhero.
Everyone was so engaged in the task, as paper and tape were turned into capes and masks! It was great to hear how imaginative the children were , when coming up with their superhero names and super powers.
This was followed by a visit to our magical book room, where children were able to select a book of their choice to take home. Everyone was so excited and couldn’t wait to get started reading their book – so that’s just what we did – with a biscuit of course.
A huge ‘Thank You’ goes to all the Amazon volunteers, who delivered their workshops with real pizazz, and another ‘Thank you’ goes to the National Literacy Trust’s Young Readers Programme and Vicki, who made it all happen.
This is the first of three event that we are so lucky to be able to share with Year 3 and 4 this summer. We can’t wait for the next one in a few weeks.

What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.
After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!
We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.

Please encourage your child to complete home learning linked to their current expedition. We have attached a link for the booklet of ideas below; however your child could complete their own ideas as long as they link to current learning. We have already had some fabulous pieces brought in and cannot wait to see what else the children challenge themselves with.

In Crew this week, Years 3 and 4 have been thinking about the health of their bodies as well as their mental health too. They have discovered that exercise is not only good for bodies, but that it also activates and cleanses minds; making people feel happier from the serotonin and endorphins that are released during the time that they exercise! Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming are particularly effective. Exercise boosts the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports the production and release of serotonin as well as overall brain health! Because of this, Crew Haycock and 3H have pledged to carry out some physical exercise (in addition to their PE lessons in school) for ten minutes a day.
Go Crew Haycock – you’ve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!

During the school holidays, disaster struck Plover! An earthquake turned our classrooms upside down and caused general chaos throughout the Y3/4 classrooms and shared area. We cannot wait to see how this event will inspire our children and what amazing writing will come of the immersive experience that was ‘Survival Day’.
