Today we started hook week for our Summer Expedition. Who is hiding in the pages of the book?
We read The Great Fairytale Disaster and the children recognised a lot of characters. They then drew or painted some of the characters! #LovePlover

Hooked in and ready for launch!
2P had a great week doing different activities to launch our new expedition – North, South, East and West: Where could your journey take you? We turned our phase into a mini-airport and we prepared ourselves to go on a journey. We all brought our boarding passes to take us on journeys all over the world. We prepared our passports and wrote down the clothes we would need to pack in our suitcases. We then boarded the plane and prepared for our flight! In English, we made mini flip-flops to hook into our performance poem about travelling. We also critiqued the artwork of notable artists who had created self-portraits. This was to inspire us in preparation for our final product. We had a great time and can’t wait to learn what will come next!

We care Wednesday Crew
In Crew this week, Years 3 and 4 have been thinking about the health of their bodies as well as their mental health too. They have discovered that exercise is not only good for bodies, but that it also activates and cleanses minds; making people feel happier from the serotonin and endorphins that are released during the time that they exercise! Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming are particularly effective. Exercise boosts the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports the production and release of serotonin as well as overall brain health! Because of this, Crew Haycock and 3H have pledged to carry out some physical exercise (in addition to their PE lessons in school) for ten minutes a day.
Go Crew Haycock – youāve got this and so have I. I pledge to do this additional exercise with you!

Disaster has struck Plover!
During the school holidays, disaster struck Plover! An earthquake turned our classrooms upside down and caused general chaos throughout the Y3/4 classrooms and shared area. We cannot wait to see how this event will inspire our children and what amazing writing will come of the immersive experience that was āSurvival Dayā.

We are crew!
Years 3 and 4 worked really hard in their crews last week to build their background knowledge of a variety of different survival techniques. When working with Mrs Haycock, they had two different challenges to complete. Firstly, they had to use the pipes to transport as much water as they could, as far as they could and without any leaks; and secondly, they were asked to consider what happens when there is a huge influx of water all at once!
I think it is clear to say that we had great fun despite getting a little wet, (perhaps soaked would be a better term). However, more importantly, we learnt that if there is a hole in the pipe work, the water will find it and leak through it. We also learnt that when there is a huge influx of water all at once, our river systems and drains simply cannot cope with the deluge and flooding takes place!
Well done everyone! Special shout out to Crew Vines who transported the water the furthest with out a single drip leaking out of the tubes!
