Weighing Wonders!
In Year 1 we have been exploring weight, we wondered which objects were heavier and lighter, or which would have an equal mass. We used balance scales to see if our predictions were correct.
We extended our learning to comparing weights to 1Kg. Could we find objects heavier and lighter?
The Masked Reader
Take a look at our World Book Day website! Children have looked at the website during Crew this morning. We currently have a lot of excitement in school as children ask one another, ‘Who’s that behind the book?’ Each day leading up to World Book Day, 4 masked readers will be added to the site with clues to their identity. Can you guess who is behind each book?
Are you feeling inspired? Why not send a picture of yourself, with your face hidden behind a book, to your teacher. You could try other ways to disguise your identity too! You can also write your own clues to try and help your peers work out who is hiding!

In Year 1 today we have been doing lots of reading, listening and retrieval. Followed by poetry where we discussed the features of different poems. Finished with children exploring their classroom to make some music, using different objects in a variety of ways as musical instruments to the nursery rhyme London’s Burning!

Children across school have been reading and quizzing to be entered to win a box of 6 Dunkin Donuts. Your teachers are incredibly proud of the effort you have put into reading over the past few weeks!
Due to success of this competition, we have decided to run the competition again! There will be a winner from each class and every time you read (and quiz for those children in KS2) in school or at home, you will be entered into the draw!
You have from Friday 26th February until Thursday 26th March to enter. Winners will be announced in Pride of Plover assembly on Friday 27th March, with the winners bringing their boxes of donuts home from school with them!
Good luck everyone!

World Book Day will be celebrated in school and at home on Friday 5th March. We would love all children to get involved in the fun. This year, the theme of World Book Day will be âBooks That Make You LOLâ. We would like to invite all children to dress up as a character from a book that makes them laugh. There will be prizes up for grabs for the most creative efforts put into a costume.
Please see our exciting World Book Day Google Site for all the information you will need for the big day!

It’s Shout Out time
In English we have been planning, creating and critiquing information texts. We used these skills to design fire safety posters.
I was impressed with the choice of colours and clear information Darcy included.
Isabelle used her plan well, she then put a lot of information into her poster, using a range of punctuation and conjunctions.
Ellis was really creative using himself to demonstrate Stop, Drop and Roll.
Paul was really proud of his background. I was really impressed with his critique. His ‘I wonder’ was to add more information.
Great work again Superstars
