We would love to invite you to the Year 3 and 4 Celebration of Learning for our current expedition ‘There is no Planet B -why should we protect our wonderful world?’
It will take place on Friday 22nd March at 2pm, we would love to see you there.

We have had great fun investigating magnets and finding polar north by hanging a magnet from a piece of string. The initial speed of the magnet spinning in both directions convinced the children that it was just ‘going cray-cray’ (their words NOT mine) and not actually working. They were amazed when it finally settled, pointing in the direction we had previously confirmed as being north with a compass!
Ellis took his learning a step further and investigated how closely he could push two magnets together before the magnetic force took over! Well done Ellis, extra special scientist shout out for you young man!
Well done everyone!

Approximately 17,595 steps or 13.12km of walking should mean your child will sleep well tonight. What a wonderful (but tiring) day! The polar bears were so active and our workshop helped us to better understand how enormous these fabulous creatures are. The photos really don’t do the day justice – you need to see them to believe them!
Your behaviour around the park was was fabulous 4H and shout out to everyone in the red crews for excellent behaviour whilst we were on the coach! I am so proud of you all.
Special shout out to Caleb who spent the day making as many notes as he could about polar bears!

4H have worked together to plan and carry out a fair test – helping them to find out which surface an object would move the furthest on. Different surfaces to test were considered and then voted for, promoting our use of British values. How to make sure we used the same force for every ‘push’ of the object was challenging, but with a little bit of extra advice from me, a sling shot was made to release our chosen object from. Careful measurements; releasing the cube from the top of it; and using the same people for the same role made sure that our test was fair. Well done everyone! Super Scientists in the making!

Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to join a live, online lesson yesterday to build our background knowledge of the world’s biomes. It was great to see how much our children have learnt about the Arctic during this expedition.
I wonder if your child can tell you something new that they learnt from this opportunity.

Our crew challenge this week was to solve matchstick problems. I think it’s fair to say that Crew Haycock found this more challenging than some of the other tasks they have been set! The frustration that they displayed when I showed them how simple it was really was amusing to see from my point of view. However, I don’t think they appreciated how easily I solved them! Sorry guys, I pledge to be more supportive and less competitive in the future.
Keep grappling with our motivational challenges everyone!

4B had a great time on our school trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife park. We got to see the magnificent polar bears up close, visited a few other animals and had an amazing workshop to learn more about the polar bears and how we can help save them. The kids were great and I’m sure they are now very tired after such a busy day. Well done everyone!

In todays Expedition lesson, we investigated how magnets work. We identified the two poles (North and South), described the poles relationship using the words attract and repel and discovered how magnets don’t need contact to create a impact because of their magnetic field. Some super science work today. Well done!

Today in crew, we have chosen our two crew winners who performed an extract of a chosen text to enter into the read aloud competition. The children who got the most votes are Lena and Matijas. Congratulations! You both will progress to the KS2 semi-final next week.
Well done for all of the children (Lena, Peyton, Isla, Matijas, Ethan, Rahand, Gabby and Violet ) who auditioned to represent our crew in the competition. You were all incredibly brave and should be very proud.
