Sugar, Slavery and Servants!

We have had a great day looking round the gardens and Hall at Brodsworth.
Despite the rain, we tired the gardens completing our sculpture trail.

Then we followed the treasure hunt round the great houses learning about all the connections to the slave trade.

The hall is filled with amazing furniture, artwork and decorations and we were surprised at how much mahogany was used.We learnt some fascinating facts along the way too!

I am so proud of the behaviour of the children during the visit and especially how they didn’t let the rain dampen their spirits.

I’m sure the other classes will have an equally great time when they visit tomorrow!

Marvellous Maps!

In 2K, we have been looking at aerial views of Plover School.

We identified the different classes and rooms in school and drafted our own aerial maps of the building!

We then went for a walk around school to check we hadn’t missed out any rooms and had them all in the right places on the map. Some of us accidentally put a classroom in the toilets on the map! Oops!! We changed that on our maps quickly!

We are all kinds of awesomeness!

Well done to my SATs revision group today. Some of you could calculate fractions of amounts quicker than I could. Tomorrow you will need to find percentages of amounts faster than I can. I wonder who is up for the challenge? I know William is, as he is revising this skill right now in preparation for tomorrow.

Just a message to our amazing Year 6’s!

SATs don’t measure sport and SATs don’t measure art,

SATs don’t measure music or the kindness in your heart.

SATs don’t see your beauty, SATs don’t know your worth,

SATs don’t see the reasons you were put upon this earth.

SATs don’t see your magic or how you make others smile.

SATs don’t time how quickly you can run a mile.

SATs don’t hear your laughter or see you’ve come this far,

SATs are just a tiny glimpse of who you truly are.

So sitting at your table, with a pencil and your test.

Remember SATs aren’t who you are,

remember you’re the best!

We are all so proud of each and everyone of you Year 6, you are going to smash your SATs next week!
