Science Fair: Night and day
Today, all the children in years 5 and 6 visited my room where we had a discussion about how the Earth’s rotation causes night and day. I demonstrated by using a torch (the sun) and rotating a globe (the Earth), then we held a further discussion about how all our measurements of time are affected by astronomical bodies and their orbits.
We look forward to demonstrating this to you in future!
Cracking the code to our guiding question
Years 5 and 6 had a great time today, solving a series of clues to unravel the guiding question for our autumn expedition.
They worked together to solve a series of puzzles and brain-teasers to unscramble the word ‘infinity’ – part of our expedition title and guiding question: ‘To and infinity and beyond: how does movement affect our world?’
Great teamwork, treasure seekers!
Eden was so inspired by the first week back Plover pantry talk- she was desperate to get involved!
Eden was so inspired by the Plover pantry talk last week that she decided to bring in some donations today. How kind and compassionate! A perfect example of a 4 in ‘the be kind strand’ in our HoWLs. 10 crew coins you superstar!

How can we get everybody to the top of the mountain? Our expert visitors shared their advice!
Year 5 and 6 had a special visit from Tommy and Pebbles today, who gave them suggestions on how to get to the top of the mountain and be successful in their final year of primary school.
This was followed by feedback from Year 5 children who fed back to us about their trip to the RSPCA and what we can do to help and support them.
6B have enjoyed their final first week back in primary school!
Crew week
Our expert on resilience and compassion- Ben Parkinson
Today, Year 5&6 were lucky enough to meet Ben Parkinson- a true local hero who has shown so much resilience in his life. As part of first week back, we have been looking at our guiding question ‘how can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?’ Ben shared with the children about his injuries and how his friends/crew got him through such a hard time and actually saved his life. He also talked about the time he served in the army and all his amazing achievements and how they wouldn’t have been possible without his peers. He also shared how his injuries have only made him more resilient and how he now he raises lots of money for charity. We felt so inspired after the visit!
We also introduced the ‘Ben Parkinson award’ which will be announced at the end of the year and awarded to someone who has shown great resilience all year.
Thank you Ben- you hero!
