Year 3 had great fun making poo this week! Check out the pictures to see us following the journey our food takes. Safe to say, Year 3 loved the experiment but found it totally gross! #LovePlover

NSPCC Number Day Fun
We have enjoyed the maths activities planned for Number day!
We used jelly beans to help us with our learning. In particular we enjoyed making 3D shapes using cocktails and jelly beans. We really enjoyed eating the jellybeans at the end.
4G Pride of Plover
Congratulations to Felicity, our Pride of Plover this week. She has been working so hard, particularly in maths.
Well done Felicity and keep it up!
Fun-packed week in LKS2
I can’t believe that there have only been 4 days at school this wee, we seem to have done so much!
In English, we have developed our speaking and listening skills by creating role plays about a disastrous visit to a dentist. We followed this up by starting our extended piece of creative writing – a diary entry about a disastrous visit to a dentist! We are being inspired by the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Demon dentist.
In Expedition, we had stomach churning investigations into how our digestive system works. We researched the functions of the parts of the digestive system and then things got a little bit messy when we created our own digestive system with bananas, orange juice, biscuits and a pair of tights!
A great week has been topped-off with today’s NSPCC number day. We have shared the book ‘How many Jellybeans’ which showed us exactly what 1 million jellybeans looks like. That inspired us to investigate different aspects of maths using jelly beans! We have weighed, timed, created 3D shapes, graphed, estimated and much more – and then we got to eat Jellybeans – win win!
I am so proud of working with the children and adults in LKS2, their hard work and enthusiasm makes me look forward to coming to work every day!

Disgusting Digestion
We had a great afternoon yesterday.
We are scientists and we have been learning about the digestive system this week, and we brought it to life!
We used a plastic bag, tights, orange juice, bananas and biscuits to recreate how food is digested – broken down in the mouth, mixed in the stomach and passed through the intestines, until the waste is passed out of the body as faeces.
How funny it is to see how our insides work, on the outside!

Disgusting Digestion in 4G
We had a great afternoon – although it was quite stomach churning for some!

Making poo!
4L have enjoyed getting very messy (sorry grown ups) to create the digestive system. We used a bag, a pair of tights, biscuits, banana, orange juice and water, we mixed all of the food and drink together in a bag (the stomach), then we sent the contents in the bag through the tights (small intestine) we soaked up all of the nutrients with a paper towel (large intestine) finally we cut a hole in the bottom of the tights, for the poo to come out.
I’m sure if you ask your children, they will tell you how disgusting it was!

We are actors!
We are loving our English today, acting out our role plays for a terrible visit to a dentist,
Pyjamarama Day
On Friday 14th May, we will be celebrating Pyjamarama Day in school. Children are invited to come to school in their pyjamas for a suggested donation of £1. The aim of the day is to raise awareness of the importance of a bedtime story for all children. Donations will go to the National Book Trust, who use the money to help all children have a story in their homes to read. Children will be participating in some fun activities in school on this day, all linked to reading for pleasure.
