We Care Wednesday: Friendship

19th November 2024Mrs Haycock

We have been thinking really carefully about what makes a good friend during our We Care Wednesday Crew sessions. We have thought about friendships such as Shrek and Donkey; R2D2 and C3PO; and Woody and Buzz. We considered how we knew that they were friends and what they would do if they ever had a falling out. Then we thought about our own friendships and how we could react or respond to our friends if we ever fall out.

Well done everyone, let’s look after each other and do all we can to support and care for each other.

15th October 2024Mrs Graves

We were lucky enough as crews to win the Community Crew prize on Friday. Children has requested that we have a dress up as a book character day on Friday, and we thought this was a good idea.

Please do not go to any expense, but feel free to come dressed up on Friday 18th October.

We are Historians

2nd October 2024Laura Brown

This week we have been learning about how different items were rationed during WW2. We have looked at the cause and impact of rationing and why it was needed. We also did some problem solving on how we would spend our coupons on items of clothing during that time.

Year 3 have worked hard to order the timeline of events that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler’s power and the outbreak of World War Two. Well done everyone. You showed great use of teamwork to complete this learning challenge.

We are getting active!

22nd September 2024Mrs Haycock

Does a noun refer to a person or a thing? Show me with your body shape…

I think we need to work on making the shape of a letter P with our bodies. Maybe more of a lean to the side is required guys!

At least you knew what each noun referred to and had the chance to prove your learning in an active way.

We are Crew Haycock!

22nd September 2024Mrs Haycock

Crew Haycock worked hard to find the best way to balance a ruler between the fingers of two crew mates. Then from their standing position, the pair had to lower themselves into a sitting position and get back up again without dropping the ruler. They quickly discovered, as with some of our other crew challengers, communication is key!

We’ll meet again! (I promise)

4th September 2024Mrs Haycock

3H were evacuated to Barton-upon-Humber on Tuesday. Parents waved us on our way as we left the city of Doncaster with gas mask boxes, name cards and packed lunches in hand. On our arrival at Wilderspin School, we met our billeting officer – Naomi – who showed us where we would have to stay and told us what would be expected of us as a child in 1940’s Britain. She then gave us a stereotypical 1940’s school experience where we heard Princess Elizabeth’s speech to the nation during this difficult time.

Later, Ian taught us all about Churchill’s Cogs. It’s fair to stay that 3H didn’t realise quite how difficult life was for children during World War Two.

What a fabulous day!

Competitive Crew Commando Joe Challenges

1st September 2024Mrs Haycock

Year 3 had great fun on Friday afternoon when they had to work in crew teams to complete the challenges set for them. Communication was key; some of us were great at this, whilst others needed to learn share the air or to listen with more care. Once this was achieved, we were able to work much more effectively as crews and in doing so, we learnt a lot about each other too!

Well done, Year 3. Remember to continue communicating clearly and working to your strengths.

Anti-littering Activism in 3H

28th August 2024Mrs Haycock

3H have spent time looking at a range of different anti-littering posters today. They critiqued the examples we gave them, pointing out the strong elements as well as areas which could be even better! Then designed their own. Some very thoughtful suggestions were made about why it is so important to make sure we ‘Bin it, don’t drop it!’

Well done guys. You were fab for Miss Wood this morning and worked so hard with me this afternoon too!

Also, I hope you enjoyed the time you spent with the graffiti artist…just look at your finished product! WOWEE! Please, please, please 3H, take your parents, carers and/or other adults who collect you from school around to see the wall you helped to paint. It really is a piece of art to be proud of and you’ll have your mark on the building forever! Imagine when you’re grown up and bringing your own kids to Plover…You could say, “I did that!”
