Grappling with place value

Watching the collaboration between everyone today has been an eye opening experience. It really was wonderful to see so many children working in so many different ways. We may have hit a few barriers along the way but the advice given to each other when realisations had eventually been made was excellent and in the end all groups were successful.

Well done guys – keep working hard!

Building background knowledge

Who knew that Mrs Haycock could spin on the spot for so long without falling over? Never mind spin and orbit a table at the same time! Using demonstrations and a variety of video clips, 6H have built background knowledge so they can design an enquiry which would answer the question: Why do we have night and day?

I cannot wait until tomorrow so they can put their enquiries into action.

Stargazing Event

Last night was amazing. We had the best time waiting for the stars to come out: making dens with our blankets, playing football; enjoying a bbq (shout out to Mrs Coward and Mr Meade for cooking the burgers and sausages) and yummy marshmallows. Here are a few photos from earlier on in the evening. Look out for more pictures/ videos coming soon.

Year 6 are so excited for stargazing. We have just settled down after a bbq tea and s’mores and we are now getting ready for stargazing and hot chocolate! What fabulous fieldwork for our Expedition! Thanks to all parents for supporting our fieldwork. Thank you to the children for being awesome and thank you for all the staff who stayed to support us!

We are bakers!

I have seen great team work in the team building sessions I have ran this week. The children had to work together to bake buns for our Plover community. Well done to all children involved this week!
