VE Day Celebrations
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.

We are crew!
Years 3 and 4 worked really hard in their crews last week to build their background knowledge of a variety of different survival techniques. When working with Mrs Haycock, they had two different challenges to complete. Firstly, they had to use the pipes to transport as much water as they could, as far as they could and without any leaks; and secondly, they were asked to consider what happens when there is a huge influx of water all at once!
I think it is clear to say that we had great fun despite getting a little wet, (perhaps soaked would be a better term). However, more importantly, we learnt that if there is a hole in the pipe work, the water will find it and leak through it. We also learnt that when there is a huge influx of water all at once, our river systems and drains simply cannot cope with the deluge and flooding takes place!
Well done everyone! Special shout out to Crew Vines who transported the water the furthest with out a single drip leaking out of the tubes!

LKS2 Disaster Survival Day
Our first day back after the spring holidays, we were greeted by disaster!
Plover School had been struck by a hurricane, earthquake and a volcanic eruption. Our classrooms were turned upside down and it was crucial that we learnt the skills to survive, in case it happened again!
We took part in different activities to prepare us if the worst was to happen: nightlife; floor is lava; den building; water transporting by pipes and containers and earthquake proof building making.
It was a great day and great communication and teamwork skills were evident in every crew.
Well done.

Celebration of learning!
4V worked incredibly hard this week to produce their science fair activities. They were completely independent and should be so so proud of themselves and all the work they put into making today happen!
Well done guys!

Super Science Fair
I couldn’t be more proud of the children in 4G! They have worked so incredibly hard in preparation for their science fair, and today they really pulled it off.
All around the room, I could hear and see everyone sharing their learning with all the parents. There were experiments and demonstrations, and above all fantastic scientific knowledge.
Our parents and carers were great and were asking challenging questions of the children – which they handled so well.
The children showed such character and it was lovely to see children being pushed out of their comfort zone and talking to adults.
Above all, this came from the children – they shared their interest, what they have been inspired by and gave it 100%. The amount of incredible work completed at home was testament to how much they wanted to show what they knew.
The classroom was buzzing and so was I!
Well done 4G, you did an incredible job!
And now on to our next expedition!!

Science Fair Preparations
We really are getting excited for our Science Fair on Friday.
I have been so impressed with everyone has worked on their projects, working at home to prepare resources and collaborating so well in class, writing scripts and practising presentations.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow afternoon, to see how everyone brings their learning to life and hope our parents and carers will too.
