Plover’s first Rockathon was awesome! Well done to everyone who smashed out answers to so many times tables questions. You all looked pretty fabulous too!
Keep working hard on those times tables up to 12 x 12 at home as well as at school please Year 4. It’s not long until your official multiplication times tables check.

Shout out to Alec and Raegan who have both designed and made their own chocolate as home learning! It really was delicious boys, so thank you for sharing. Should anyone else wish to make thier own chocolate bars, I’d be more than happy to taste test them for you!
Well done boys!

Year 4 were visited by Harry – our expert scientist – who kindly launched the science topic that we will be studying during this expedition. He introduced the children to states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. We were mesmerised by the video of experiments he prepared for us in his lab at university and have been really inspired by him. When he inflated a balloon right in front of us, without blowing it up in the normal way, gasps were heard from all. I wonder if your children can tell you how Harry did this?
Thank you Harry!

Across XP Trust primary schools, children learn through a rigorous, standards-based curriculum, supported by strong relationships through Crew so every child is known, challenged and encouraged to do their best.

What a great hook week!
We started with chocolate tasting and then delved into the history of chocolate. We were introduced to the concept of Fairtrade and learnt about solids, liquids and gases with our expert visitor and scientist, Harry.
The week ended with our Rockstar day – kicking it off with the Rockathon times tables challenge. Everyone looked fantastic and had great fun on Times Tables Rockstars.
Looking forward to what comes next!

Year 5 turned the volume up this week as they rocked into Rockstar Day in true style! Dressed head to toe as rockstars, the children brought energy, enthusiasm and plenty of attitude to their learning.
Throughout the day, Year 5 focused on sharpening their timetables skills, showing fantastic concentration and determination while enjoying the fun, rock-themed atmosphere. Guitars, leather jackets and star poses were everywhere, but so was some brilliant maths learning.
The highlight of the day was taking part in the first ever Plover Rockathon. The children gave it their all, supporting one another and clearly having a great time while challenging themselves.
A huge well done to everyone involved for such a positive and exciting day. Rockathon results will be announced on Monday, and we can’t wait to celebrate the successes. Rock on, Year 5! 🎸⭐
