Well Done Tommy!

Crew Graves felt strongly that Tommy should have the Plover Praise postcard today as he has put so much effort into his work and been kind to others.

Well done Tommy!

We are celebrating better world day on the 5th May!

3rd May 2022Miss Blackham

We will be celebrating better world day on Thursday 5th May (a day early). We are asking children to come into school in blue or yellow and we are asking for voluntery contributions of 50p to raise money to send funds directly into Ukraine to support those in need.

We are also challenging children to take part in better world day by completing acts of kindness to make the world a better place and sharing these acts of kindness to myself- [email protected] so we can share all of the kind and wonderful things you get up to.

Thank you

-Miss Blakham

Perpendicular or parallel?

Today we have worked collaboratively in maths to identify different lines! A bit of Kung Fu has helped us to remember

Do you know what the lines are?

    Hot seating in 3G

    28th April 2022Mrs Graves

    We have been comparing the lives of the enslaved children to the lives of the plantation owner’s children today. After comparing picture sources, we applied our knowledge to a hotseating activity, where we questioned each other acting in role in groups.

    I was very proud of the children, how they considered the feelings that the children would have, as well as how they stayed in role! A great preparation for tomorrow’s writing task!

    Little Big Book Club

    26th April 2022Mrs Graves

    This morning we shared a ‘book and a biscuit’ at our first ‘Little Big Book Club’.

    Five Year 3 children were lucky enough to be selected to take part in the initiative funded by the National Literacy Trust.

    They have brought home their first book today and are very excited about receiving the other books over the next few weeks.

    Miss Myers is so looking forward to sharing some great books!

    Got a sweet tooth? You’ll love the LKS2 summer Expedition!

    20th April 2022Mrs Graves

    ‘Serious about Sugar; Passionate about People’ is the Year 3 and 4 expedition for this term. Throughout the expedition, we will be investigating the question “Why is sugar NOT so sweet?” by being historians in our first case study, scientists in our second case study and by being designers in our final case study.

    The children were quite excited when I told them that our final product was going to be a jar of sweets they were going to make themselves.

    Letters have gone home this evening about our field trip in May to Brodsworth Hall. There is currently an exhibition at the hall that is directly linked to our first case study and it will be a great opportunity for the children to see with their own eyes, how their local area was so closely linked to significant events in history.

    We have had a great start to the exhibition and the children were very good at identifying how seemingly unconnected objects were linked to our expedition and beginning to create decorations to immerse our classroom!
