What’s in the birthday box?

We had lots of good predictions about what was in the box. Someone thought it might be a present. Someone else thought it might be a toy that would pop up. We shared our ideas with our friends.

We opened the box and there were lots of things for us to use at our party on Friday.

Captain America at Plover!

We kicked off our hook week activities this afternoon with a very special visit from a superhero! The children were super excited and came up with a list of questions to ask him. I wasn’t in class today so I can’t wait to hear all about it. See you tomorrow 2B!

Fantastic fact splats!

Did you know astronauts wear nappies?

Today, we have been ripping apart nappies to discover the technology that NASA developed in order to improve the absorbency of them. We were surprised to find out they contain a salt like substance. Tomorrow we will be investigating the brand of nappy that is the most absorbent.

Making pledges this morning in crew!

What a fabulous start we have had in crew Topliss this morning. We reflected on our HoWLs from last week and made fresh pledges for the week ahead. We then added them to our crew display board to help remind us what we need to do to make this week the best it can be! Well done Year 5!

3G are Warrior Vikings

We had great fun on our Viking dress up day. We worked really well in our crews to solve the riddles and complete the challenges.

The dress up day has given us a real flavour of our visit to Murton Park on 15th September, when we will be living like a Viking for a day – we can’t wait!!

Parents and Carers, please could you make sure you have returned the consent form and risk assessment, as well as paying for the trip on Parent Pay, so we can finalise numbers.

Thanks

Are you ready for a Viking Quest?

Year 3 and 4 proved they were ready for the challenge of being a Viking Warrior this morning, demonstrating that they have both brains and brawn in our Viking Quest.

We were given the challenge to strengthen a Viking Hoard, but only if we could complete the challenges first.

We had four quests to complete that would give us a number combination to open the lock on the Viking Treasure Chest.

The Riddle of the Runes – could we decipher the words written in Viking Runes,

Timeline Trouble – could we find the missing event on the timeline

Warrior Wordfinders, had us searching for the missing Viking word.

And finally we were Amazing Archaeologists looking for Viking artefacts in our own archaeological dig.

After we successfully showed how we could use our brains, we then show how physical we were and how we could follow instructions by playing Capture the Flag, Viking Ships and Raising the Sail.

We had a fun afternoon watching ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ for a different peek into Viking life.

Have a look at at how we launched the day!

KS1 Thank you

A huge thank you to all KS1 parents (old & new) for your fantastic support and cooperation during your child’s first week back at school. Also, an extra appreciation to those parents who supported on our Sandall Beat Wood trip last Friday – we hope you’ve had a nice relaxing weekend!

As a crew we will try to get information out to you as soon as possible.
A few reminders for our parents :
✅ can we make sure long hair is tied up for school

✅ wash and check hair regularly for head lice

✅ put names in coats, jumpers, water bottles and pe kits (we will put left over clothes on the outside tables the following day which have no names in for parents to collect, to save a pile of jumpers being collated during the year)

✅ Earrings to be removed on the days of PE

See you all tomorrow KS1 where we will be starting our Expedition Hook Week… watch this space for the activities we have in store this week!

Thanks KS1 Crew
