We are the Pride of Plover Pupils!

Well done to everyone who was awarded ā€˜Pride of Plover’ last week. You worked hard, got smart and were all very kind too. What more can we ask of you? Nothing! Keep it up. I wonder who will be awarded this week?

Am I an insulator or a conductor?

We have been working hard to investigate different materials; finding out if they are insulators or conductors. Then we have used our scientific knowledge to work as writers and produce a full scientific report.

Keep your curiosity growing folks and the conductors will keep the electricity flowing!

We know how switches affect circuits!

It was so good to see the excitement and pride in everyone’s faces when they were able to build a simple circuit with a switch to turn a lightbulb on and off! The pictures show how the children felt about their learning much better than any words I could use, so take a look at the slideshow below…

Well done everyone. I’ll make scientists out off all of you before the end of this expedition! I hope you are enjoying the subject as much as I do. #ScienceRocks!

We want to be rock stars!

What an amazing assembly and experience we all had when Rock Steady joined us to show us how easy it can be to learn the basics of being a rock star! I cannot wait to see the progress made by those who have signed up for the Rock Steady lessons we have on offer to your children.

When you are famous rock stars, can I please be one of your groupies guys?

Rock on!

Yummy veggie fajitas

As part of our expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me? 2L has been preparing food. We worked in small groups and carefully sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots and cheese. We then cooked the veggies and turned them into vegetable fajitas. They were yummy!

It starts with a seed

We listened to the story ‘it starts with a seed’. Children asked questions and wrote predictions about what might happen to our broad bean seed. Then we started our experiment, by putting damp paper towels into a plastic bottle and sliding 5 broad beans down the side. We will leave it in the sunlight, to keep it warm and water it daily… To see how things grow! #LovePlover

Peeling Grate!

As part of our Expedition, 2P has been practising our basic food preparation skills. We discussed the importance of good hygiene and food safety before we began any work. We split into groups and practised safely slicing peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots. We then cooked these slowly to make them nice and soft. After this, we combined our ingredients to make lovely vegetable fajitas. They were delicious! Great work 2P!

Rock n Roll!

PE was rocking today! We used good listening to know what to do! We learned a pencil roll, an egg roll and even a forward roll! Mrs Bubb showed us how to do them all! (Even the forward roll!) By the end of the lesson we could start at the end of the mat with a balance, roll and then finish in our finishing position. We love PE!

Making 7

Today, we were making 7. We looked at different ways we could build 7 with 2 colours. Then we looked at how many of each colour we had. By the end of the lesson we could say different numbers that go together to make 7. We made the numbers with our fingers for some of them too! Tomorrow we will see how it looks in a part part whole model.
