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!”

Crazy colour fun in 3H!

27th August 2024Mrs Haycock

Whilst getting to know each other today, 3H (mainly the adults) had their memories truly put to the test as we tried to remember everyone’s favourite colour. The children were amazing, the adults, well…a little more practice is definitely required!

Solving the problem of how to pass the ball without using your hands showed that you already know how to work together to overcome a problem! Check you out 3H! Let’s make this year an awesome one together!

LKS2 Chocolatey Celebration of Learning

8th July 2024Mrs Graves

Thank you for doing us at our Celebration of Learning on Friday.

It is amazing to reflect on how much we have covered this term as we listen to the children talking about it and went through the exercise books.

I think the singing was the most beautiful performance we have ever had and the final product went down a treat!

Thank you to Mrs Williams (Julianna’s Mum) for taking the basket of goodies to the Care Home.

We can plan and carry out a fair test!

26th June 2024Mrs Haycock

Over the last couple of weeks, Years 3 and 4 have been working as scientists and experimenting with states of matter: trying to find out if temperature affects the rate at which matter changes state. Our final task was to investigate the quickest way for Mr Wonka to create his chocolate river if all of the chocolate he has only exists in solid form.

Here we are, trying to think of different ways Mr Wonka could try to melt his chocolate…I wonder which location or method worked the best and melted the chocolate the quickest?

Now to consider our findings and draw conclusions for Mr Wonka!

I Always Get Smart!

13th June 2024Mrs Haycock

Methmi is such a fabulous young lady: she never ceases to amaze me! During Science lessons, we have been thinking about changing states and have been investigating the question: Does temperature affect the rate of melting? She took it upon herself to use a thesaurus to research a bank of vocabulary that she could use in her write up so as she did not repeat herself and to ensure her word choices were appropriate! Well done. What a superstar you are!

We are marvellous mathematicians!

13th June 2024Mrs Haycock

Well done and thank you to these superstars for being so kind as to help their friends understand how to compare decimal numbers using the < and > symbols! Your use of mathematical language was excellent. Talking your friends through the method of looking at each place value column in turn, and helping them to remember which symbol is which, enabled them to compare the decimal numbers accurately. Thank you and I hope you are proud of yourselves!

Let’s keep being kind to each other and working collaboratively so that together, we can make as much progress as possible before you become Year 5’s!
