International Polar Bear Day
Parents, carers and friends,
International Polar Bear Day is coming soon, February 27th! the charity ‘Polar Bears International’ created the day to coincide with the time when polar bear moms and cubs are snug in their snow dens. As part of their celebration, they are focusing on the need to protect denning families across the Arctic.
We are doing our bit in school by completing a sponsored walk of 20 miles per crew over the course of this week, to replicate how far a polar bear might travel in a day.
In the lead up to the day, here are the live events and special outreach planned by the charity for anyone to join, starting a few days beforehand and ending on the day itself. Bring your curiosity and tune in to learn about mums and cubs, the threats they face, and how you can help ensure their future.Â
To get more information about the day’s events, follow this link:https://polarbearsinternational.org/act-now/awareness-events/international-polar-bear-day/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=84abf347-22c0-4a9c-b77b-1ab0f1a83edb
The school has no control of the content of this day as it is an international event, so we advise you to look into any events beforehand to ensure suitability for your children.

Year 4 are songwriters🎶
Year 4 had so much fun creating their song lyrics with our XP trust expert, Geoff, this morning. Hearing the whole phase sing their verses together was beautiful. We are now one step closer to producing our final product and I can’t wait to hear what the final version of the song will sound like!

Pride of Plover
Congratulations to this week’s Pride of Plover winner, Laci-Maee! It was lovely to see how proud you were when you found out.
Your enthusiasm for learning this week has been amazing to see. You have worked so hard and been a pleasure to have in class. I’m sure you will keep it up after half term. Well done Laci-Maee, we’re all so proud of you!

We are songwriters in LKS2
Today we took a step closer to producing our final product when we had an expert visitor, Geoff Hewitt from the XP Trust, come into school to run song writing workshops with Years 3 and 4.
Geoff has had a busy week going into the other 3 XP primary schools to write the earlier verses to the song, but today it was our turn to write a beautiful and memorable ending to our song.
I was blown away by the contributions the children made and our final verses are really something to be proud of.
We enjoyed coming together as a phase at the end of the morning and sharing our verses and singing them together.
I am feeling so excited about what the final song will sound like when we record it at XP School.

Plover’s got Talent!
3G – Let’s have a heated debate!
Today in English, we were debating whether we should have cars or not.
We looked at how to structure a debate and the type of language we should use.
We used our listening skills to build on what others were saying.
I wonder which side you would choose?

Super Scientists and Marvellous Magnets in 3G
We continued being scientists today by having a Physics investigation in magnets. We learnt words such as ‘repel’ and ‘attract’ and we now know that magnets have two Poles – the North and the South Pole – now where have we heard of those before I wonder?
