We made our science learning active when we played a game of Solid, Liquid and Gas. On the call, children had to form a group to demonstrate what the particles of solids, liquids and gases look like – solid = tightly packed together; liquid = loosely connected; gas = not connected.
Who knew science could be such active fun!

This week we have been learning to tell the time using an analogue clock. We have recapped o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to, and then moved on to telling the time using 5 minute intervals and in 1 minute intervals.
We enjoyed working together today to build our own clocks to use as our anchor charts in our time lessons.
We have found it quite tricky, as many of use don’t use the traditional clocks. We are much more used to reading digital time on our phones, ovens and cars. So, we would love it if our family at home can help us practise – please keep asking us what time it is, or telling us what time we will be doing things – and please show us what that time looks like on a traditional clock, using the phrases ‘minute hand’ and ‘hour hand’, …. minutes past, ………. minutes to etc.

Thank you for doing us at our Celebration of Learning on Friday.
It is amazing to reflect on how much we have covered this term as we listen to the children talking about it and went through the exercise books.
I think the singing was the most beautiful performance we have ever had and the final product went down a treat!
Thank you to Mrs Williams (Julianna’s Mum) for taking the basket of goodies to the Care Home.

Well done to local grass roots team Sandall Beat U9’s!
Samuel, Bobby, George, Lucas, Jaxon, Lamar, Theo, Jenson and Nelson are all Plover pupils. It was their first ‘proper’ tournament as Under 9ās and they won the league but sadly lost out on penalties in the final game. All of the children worked brilliantly, showing fantastic teamwork! #LovePlover
The celebration of learning event for Year 3 and 4 will take place this Friday 5th July at 2:00pm.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to celebrate our expeditionary learning from this term!
The LKS2 team.
Today we conducted an experiment to test the melting rates of chocolate.
We placed a chocolate button in different locations and timed how long it took to melt. We took the temperature at the same time.
We had some interesting findings, that really made us think and draw conclusions – why did the chocolate in the Bubble not melt at all, even though the temperature reading was very similar to outside – where the chocolate melted in 2 minutes? We had a discussion, and decided that there was a variable – the concrete on the playground was very warm, but the carpet in the bubble was not.
We have loved doing the experiment and next we will put our findings down on paper in a scientific report.
