3SG PE: Developing our cricket strategies.

25th June 2024Mr Schofield

3SG had a lovely session in PE where we discussed how we can co-operate and communicate to improve our strategies when fielding in P.E. We put our thoughts into practice in small groups then challenged each other to a full game – great participation from all – well done!

Please see this exciting opportunity for current Year 3,4 & 5 pupils to join our very first Plover student leadership team. Above you will find all the relevant details on how to apply ahead of our exciting assembly. The members of the staff leadership team will select a number of children to go ahead to share their manifestos in our whole school assembly. The whole school will then have the opportunity to vote for their student Headteacher and three student assistant headteachers! This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase one of our British Values- Democracy!

3SG are scientists

19th June 2024Mr Schofield

3SG continued their investigations into states of matter by looking into how we can affect the evaporation of water. We noticed how water quickly turns to water vapour when heat is directly applied by a hotplate, then how it condenses back to water when the cold lid was placed on top. We compared this to water left on the windowsill, which is continuing to evaporate much more slowly. We then recorded our observations of this reversible process and wrote a conclusion.

We enjoyed setting up another science experiment to investigate how long it takes for an ice cube to melt in different areas. We observed that some materials change state.

Last week, we investigated oobleck by mixing cornstarch and water together. We set up a simple practical enquiry, and began to understand how to create a fair test.

This week we have been working as scientists, we have made Oobleck and tried to determine if it is a liquid or a solid, we have beenusing thermometers to find the warmest and coldest areas in school and then observing ice cubes to discover if temperature affects the rate of melting.

We really have been engaged in our learning and can’t wait to discover more about solids, liquids and gases.

Super Celebration of Learning for LKS2

12th June 2024Mrs Graves

I was so proud on Friday, as the children in Year 3 and 4 presented their learning for the spring expedition, ‘There is no Planet B – How can we protect our wonderful world?’

The children presented their learning with real confidence and they sang the song beautifully.

At the end of the celebration, parents were able to buy the artwork canvasses created by the children for a donation towards the Polar Bears International Charity. Through this and the chocolate tombola we raised and an amazing Ā£310.

Thank you all so much for all your support.

Oobleck!

10th June 2024Mr Schofield

Inspired by the Dr Seuss story, we made our own Oobleck to investigate states of matter. We were intrigued to discover that Ooblek is a ‘non-Newtonian fluid’, meaning it behaves like both solid and liquid. We then wrote about our observations. Great fun, well done all!
