Learning about osmosis

5K performed an experiment to find about osmosis. They were fascinated to see the dye passing through the paper towel and into the water. #LovePlover

Important reminder – Year 5 swimming

On Thursday 30th June, the children will practice life saving skills at swimming. Therefore, they will need a t-shirt, light leggings or light pyjamas to wear in addition to their normal swimming kit.

Thank you for your support.

Experimenting in Year 5

This week, we had such a fun time learning about germs! We used bread to capture the bacteria growing around school. Everyone wanted to choose the place they thought the highest amount of bacteria would be living. We tested; the photocopier, a reading book, down the back of the radiator, the windows, a child’s hand, the floor and underneath the tables. We put the bread into bags and sealed them. Over the coming fortnight, we will watch how the bacteria multiplies on the bread. Watch this space! #LovePlover

Year 5/6’s Plover pantry donations!

Year 5/6’s spent last Friday washing members of staff’s cars as part of our latest Expedition- why is important to look after ourselves and each other? The children have learnt all about how important it is to eat healthily. They decided to spend their money on a rage of healthy items to support our Plover community during these difficult times. Above is our donations from the children. Please remember to visit the Plover pantry every Thursday 9-10:30am which is a pay as you feel service allowing our Plover families to purchase foods to help them during these difficult times with the increased cost of living.

We can make scientific observations!

Today, Y6 have been scientists. They have learnt about osmosis and carried out an investigation to represent this process. They were amazed by what they saw and found it really quite relaxing watching the food colouring (which represented nutrients) pass through the kitchen roll (cell membrane) into the water (which represented the blood in our capillaries)

Well done everyone!

Sharing Stories

We are beginning to think ahead to next year and our Autumn Expedition in LKS2.

Do you know anybody (Grandparents, family members, friends or organisations) who would be willing to share their experiences of World War (at home or in the forces) with our children to help them with their learning?

If you know of anyone, please could you let Mrs Graves know, so that we can begin to plan ahead.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs Graves
